Case Study: B&I Contractors achieves faster hanger placement and prefab workflow with EVOLVE

One of the most dramatic results for B&I Contractors has been the time saved in hanger placement

B&I Contractors, an employee-owned mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems installer, faced a challenge in maximizing its resources due to a shortage of skilled employees for its numerous projects. Manual processes, particularly in hanger placement and spooling for ductwork, were incredibly time-consuming and demanded significant manpower, hampering efficiency and growth. They turned to the EVOLVE software, specifically EVOLVE Mechanical, to integrate with their existing Revit platform and address these inefficiencies.

By implementing EVOLVE's solutions, B&I Contractors achieved dramatic results, including an 80% reduction in the time required to place hangers and a 25% reduction in spooling time. The software also streamlined workflows by allowing layout points to be exported directly to field tools without intermediary steps. These efficiencies have freed up valuable resources, enabling the company to take on more projects and positioning them to significantly increase their use of prefabrication. EVOLVE was also credited with making the company more attractive to new talent seeking to work with advanced technology.
