Case Study: Fender Katsalidis improves collaboration and reduces paper use with Drawboard Projects

Fender Katsalidis - Customer Case Study

Fender Katsalidis, a global multi-disciplinary architecture and design firm, faced challenges in collaborating effectively across its international teams and with external partners. Their traditional workflow relied heavily on physical drawings and in-person meetings, which was inefficient and created a significant environmental impact due to high paper usage. They sought a digital solution to improve collaboration and sustainability, leading them to implement Drawboard Projects from vendor Drawboard.

Drawboard provided its Drawboard Projects software, which enabled Fender Katsalidis teams to mark up drawings and collaborate in real time virtually, regardless of location. This solution was especially critical during COVID-19, allowing work to continue remotely. The results included a vastly more efficient and streamlined design process, reduced reliance on physical offices, and significant environmental benefits; one user reported not printing a single drawing since March 2020. According to the customer, Drawboard delivered an intuitive and effective platform that improved flexibility and communication.
