Case Study: Wills Bros Civil Engineering LTD achieves 70% efficiency gains with Autodesk Construction Cloud

How Construction Technology Enhanced Efficiency by 70% on Scottish Infrastructure Upgrade

Wills Bros Civil Engineering LTD, a UK civil engineering contractor founded in 1972, was appointed main contractor on two major Scottish infrastructure projects worth over £50 million. Facing complex multidisciplinary work, paper-based processes, and the need to meet BIM Level 2 requirements, the company needed a better way to centralize project information, improve communication, and maintain quality across design, field, and client teams. Autodesk Construction Cloud, using BIM 360, was selected to create a single source of truth for all stakeholders.

Autodesk Construction Cloud implemented BIM 360 as the common data environment, enabling real-time model and drawing access on site, offline viewing, issue tracking tied to model locations, and live inspection records. The results included a 75% reduction in typical action and closure times for field inspections, improved visibility and data quality, fewer errors and miscommunication, and more efficient handovers with comprehensive as-built records. The platform also supported remote working during the Covid-19 pandemic and helped Wills Bros improve collaboration, safety, and long-term project quality.
