Case Study: Colt Builders achieves streamlined task management and quality control with Fieldwire by Hilti

Colt Builders - Customer Case Study

Colt Builders is a nationwide commercial wood‑framing subcontractor with offices across the U.S., more than 400 employees, and a complex workflow of subs and multi‑family projects. To standardize quality control, tasking, and on‑site communication as they grew, Colt turned to Fieldwire by Hilti, using the Fieldwire platform for plan versioning, issue tracking and task management to replace fragmented paper notes, calls and their prior PlanGrid setup.

Fieldwire by Hilti implemented a task‑centric system that maps every punch item, assigns responsibility, sends real‑time notifications, and provides a visual calendar for long‑range planning. The result was rapid adoption across new hires and offices in Arizona, California and Texas, greater transparency between estimating and construction teams, fewer handwritten notes/phone calls/emails, stronger reporting, and more predictable project oversight — outcomes Colt credits directly to Fieldwire by Hilti.
