Case Study: Turner & Townsend uncovers £80–£120M of vacant space with Oracle Aconex

Turner & Townsend uncovered between £80 and £120M of vacant space using Aconex as a CDE

Turner & Townsend deployed Aconex on a large UK residential and commercial real estate program (US$465M) and faced the challenge of managing a huge, multi‑project program with many stakeholders. They needed a single, up‑to‑date view of the entire program to support decision making, accurate reporting, and the ability to track due dates across thousands of deliverables.

By implementing Aconex as a configurable common data environment, Turner & Townsend standardized workflows, centralized documentation, used placeholders to track deliverables, and enabled configurable reporting. The solution supported administration of 5,000 leases (enabling £200M in potential secured income), uncovered 80,000 m² of vacant space valued at £80–£120M, sped CAD plan review by 75% (now ≤20 days), made board reporting 95% faster with Aconex and Tableau, and saved 16 hours per week managing lease turnover (a 40% improvement).
