Case Study: Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. achieves 67% more inspections per day with Fulcrum

Faster inspections at scale: Partner ESI completes 67% more inspections per day with Fulcrum

Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. (Partner ESI) faced a major compliance challenge after California’s SB 721 increased demand for detailed inspections and reports of exterior elevated elements, while its teams were still spending weeks manually organizing photos, transcribing notes, and building reports. The firm needed a faster, more reliable way to manage inspection data at scale, and turned to Fulcrum to support field data collection and reporting.

With Fulcrum, Partner ESI streamlined inspections, automated photo organization and reporting, and improved task tracking and data recall across teams. The results were significant: crews increased from about 15 inspections per day to 25 or more, a 67% boost in daily output, while also reducing report turnaround time and improving accuracy, consistency, and client-ready deliverables.
