Case Study: Walsh Construction Group improves construction quality and field collaboration with Autodesk Construction Cloud

How Construction Management Helped Walsh Construction Build a Better Streetcar

Walsh Construction Group, part of The Walsh Group, is a large general contractor focused on infrastructure projects and was looking to improve construction quality management on the OC Streetcar project in California. To address inefficiencies caused by incomplete data, outdated models, and multiple sources of truth in the field, Walsh turned to Autodesk Construction Cloud, using PlanGrid to strengthen document management and field collaboration.

With Autodesk Construction Cloud and PlanGrid, Walsh implemented organized document control, real-time drawing access, dashboards, and issue/punch list tracking to keep teams aligned on the latest information. The results included 2–3 hours saved per week, drawing closeout time reduced from 3–6 months to just weeks, faster issue resolution, better training and adoption in the field, and improved client confidence that helped Walsh strengthen its win rate.
