Case Study: PCL Construction improves productivity and profitability with Autodesk Construction Cloud's Pype

How Pype Helps PCL Construction Improve Productivity and Profitability without Sacrificing Quality

PCL Construction, a large general contractor with projects across Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, and Australia, was spending hours manually reviewing lengthy specification documents and copying submittal requirements into spreadsheets. This slow process created risk of missed submittals, delayed items, and costly project impacts. To address this, PCL turned to Autodesk Construction Cloud’s Pype AutoSpecs to improve submittal log creation.

Autodesk Construction Cloud implemented Pype to automate extraction of submittal requirements, helping PCL generate more accurate initial submittal logs and track specification changes in real time. With features like SpecView and Versioning, PCL reduced human error, saved time, and improved productivity and quality control across projects. The result was a more efficient workflow that allowed teams to focus on higher-value work and better estimate and deliver projects.
