Case Study: HNTB improves real-time project reporting and collaboration with HeadLight

HNTB improves project data by 74% with HeadLight

HNTB, a construction management firm working with the New York City Department of Design and Construction, faced the challenge of managing a massive $1.45 billion coastal resiliency project. They needed to streamline inspection workflows, improve collaboration with distributed stakeholders, and make faster, data-driven decisions on a project with thousands of complex bid items. To address this, they implemented HeadLight's inspection technology, including HeadLight Fieldbook and HeadLight Portal.

Using HeadLight's solution, HNTB achieved remarkable results. They realized a 74% improvement in same-day project data availability and annual labor savings of $150,000-$160,000 by streamlining audit workflows. The technology provided 65-70% more actionable information in reports and reduced the time spent searching for data by 56%. HeadLight empowered HNTB to collect vastly more information than traditional methods, enabling sophisticated, real-time collaboration with the project owner and ensuring the project remained on time and budget.
