Case Study: Swinerton closes a $1M budget gap with Join

How Swinerton closed a $1M budget gap and got the project on track

Swinerton Builders faced a significant challenge while working on a $15 million K-12 school renovation project. After the owner frequently changed cost categories and work breakdown structures, tracking and sharing these complex budget updates using spreadsheets became too cumbersome. This led to the discovery of a $1 million budget overage, threatening the project's timeline and Swinerton's reputation. They turned to the vendor Join for a solution.

By implementing Join, Swinerton was able to break down the budget overage and transform complex data into simple visualizations. The Join platform provided transparent, accurate, and real-time data, which facilitated a collaborative discussion with the owner and identified a path back to the original budget. As a result, Swinerton successfully closed the $1M budget gap and gained approval to move the project forward.
