Case Study: Ford 3 and Deerpath Construction improve historic preservation coordination with Fieldwire by Hilti

Ford 3 restores a 140-year-old church and tracks $9 million in repairs with Fieldwire by Hilti

The customer, Ford 3 Architects and Deerpath Construction, faced the challenge of managing a complex historic preservation project at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. They needed to efficiently track hundreds of structural repairs, improve on-site communication, and document all work performed for the $9 million restoration. They turned to the vendor Fieldwire by Hilti, using its construction task and punch-list management software to streamline these processes.

The solution from Fieldwire by Hilti provided a centralized platform for real-time defect tracking, photo documentation, and task communication. This allowed the teams to instantly log and share repair items from the field, leading to precise coordination and accountability. The results included significant time and cost savings, with the project manager stating the tool was "essential" for efficiency. It successfully managed over 200 additional unexpected repairs and created a comprehensive as-built record for the completed church restoration.
