Case Study: Richard Crookes Constructions achieves 50% faster variation review and resolution with Oracle Aconex

Richard Crookes cut variation review and resolution time in half

Richard Crookes Constructions, an Australian builder working on projects such as UTS Central, set out on a digital transformation with a strong BIM focus and a target of 95% BIM adoption. They faced the need to supply technology across different project stages, optimize BIM benefits for project teams, capture data for operations and maintenance, and educate internal and external stakeholders to realize digitization value.

The team adopted Aconex Connected BIM as a common data environment and project-wide platform from concept onward, giving the wider team—and clients—easy access to models without special authoring or viewing software. This approach delivered measurable gains: about 5% fewer RFIs, 3–5% fewer variations and claims, roughly 50% faster variation review and resolution, and faster, simpler claim management through clear decision records and accessible project history.
