Case Study: Simon Fraser University achieves streamlined RFI & submittal workflows and reduced document control time with Onware

Using Onware for construction contract administration ensures everyone works towards the project’s end goal

Simon Fraser University is expanding on‑campus housing with a $68.5M Phase 1 project to add 482 single‑room residences in two new towers targeting LEED Gold. With multiple stakeholders (Dialog and Scott Construction Group) using different construction management systems, SFU faced the challenge of keeping RFI and submittal workflows synchronized across platforms; they engaged Onware and its integration tool, Onware Sync, to address this.

Onware implemented Onware Sync to automatically synchronize RFI and submittal data between Dialog’s Onware Collaborative Construction Management software and Scott Construction Group’s Procore system. The solution eliminated manual duplicate entry, reduced document‑control time and effort, lowered the risk of information delays, and enabled teams to continue using their preferred software—benefits Scott Construction Group praised and plans to carry forward to future projects using Onware.
