Case Study: Farrans Construction achieves standardized information control and faster project workflows with Oracle Aconex

Farrans Builds Up with Aconex

Farrans Construction, a leading building and civil engineering contractor operating across Great Britain and Ireland, has used the Aconex platform enterprise-wide since 2004 on more than 30 large projects. The firm faced typical large-project challenges: controlling information across complex programs, inefficient workflows that threatened cost and schedule, participant conflicts that risked disputes, and heavy staffing demands for document control and administration.

Farrans standardized on Aconex to provide project-wide collaboration, Aconex Connected BIM for design–construction coordination, dashboards for health reporting, and mobile access for on-site teams. The result was consistent platform use across the portfolio, automated workflows and shorter process cycles, a full audit trail to reduce disputes, and lower document-control and administrative staffing—so much so that “our project teams prefer Aconex over any other system.”
