Case Study: BAMA Painting & Wallcovering achieves 2-month schedule reduction to complete University dorm on time with On Center Software (On-Screen Takeoff®)

A University Expansion Paint Project was Successfully Completed with a Shortened Schedule Using Automation

BAMA Painting & Wallcovering was hired to paint the University of Alabama’s Ridgecrest South Residence Hall — a 375,000 sq. ft., $900K project requiring 17 colors and originally scheduled for six months. With campus move‑in looming and construction already behind, the general contractor depended on BAMA to accelerate the work; BAMA relied on On-Screen Takeoff® from On Center Software to support fast, accurate estimating and planning.

Using On Center Software’s On-Screen Takeoff® to streamline takeoffs and job management, BAMA reorganized resources (72 workers and 2 supervisors running 10‑hour days, seven days a week) and completed the painting in four months instead of six — saving two months (≈33% faster) and enabling the residence hall to open on time. On Center Software’s solution helped BAMA deliver the $900K project on schedule and get the overall construction back on track.
