Case Study: Ford 3 Architects achieves streamlined documentation and real-time communication with Fieldwire by Hilti

Ford 3 - Customer Case Study

Ford 3 served as the preservation architect on the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church restoration, tackling extensive brownstone repairs and exterior window replacements on a 140‑year‑old building. To document complex conditions, manage inspections and photos across multiple crews, and improve contractor coordination, Ford 3 adopted Fieldwire by Hilti’s mobile and desktop construction management app.

With Fieldwire by Hilti, Ford 3 captured photos directly in the app, used real‑time notifications and centralized task comments to track repairs, and shared updates instantly with Deerpath Construction. The tool eliminated the need for daily manual reports, sped up communication and issue resolution, and helped keep the project on schedule—exterior work is nearly complete and scaffolding is slated for removal by Thanksgiving.
