Case Study: Turner Construction Company achieves 73% project-related paper cost savings and saves 84,780 pages with Bluebeam Software, Inc.

Digitizing Communications Reduces Use of Paper and Generates Savings for Turner Construction Company and Owner on Cobb County Superior Courthouse Project

Turner Construction Company managed the 230,000 sq ft Cobb County Superior Courthouse in Marietta, GA and faced high paper volumes and related costs—especially during late-stage activities like bulletins, punchlists, as-builts and O&M manuals. The team set out to reduce reprographic and courier expenses and limit the project’s heavy reliance on printed submittals.

By adopting Bluebeam Revu to digitally review, markup and assemble PDF submittals, using tablet PCs in the field, and delivering most documentation electronically with a single printed set, Turner saved 84,780 pages (76,335 of 8.5×11 and 8,445 of 24×32). Those changes cut project-related paper costs by 73%, including a 50% reduction in reprographics and a 76% reduction in courier fees.
