Case Study: IHI E&C achieves 10–15% project closeout time savings with Contruent's cost and change management solution

Time Saved with Cost and Change Management Reporting

IHI E&C, a Houston‑based EPC subsidiary of IHI Corporation, was struggling after an accounting-system conversion left its standalone cost system unable to meet needs for consistent project setup and reporting. Reliant on high‑risk Excel workarounds mid‑project, IHI E&C sought a solution that could be deployed during a large EPC engagement; they selected Contruent’s project controls software, initially implementing its cost and change management functionality.

Contruent implemented cost and change management with real‑project setup and training, enabled import/export of accounting data, and later added engineering and field management capabilities. As a result, Contruent helped IHI E&C save 10–15% of time during closeout (with export/import saving about two full days on large projects), reduce man‑hours and manual‑entry errors, provide a trusted centralized data source and audit trail, and increase reporting confidence and productivity; IHI E&C has been a Contruent customer for more than 10 years.
