Case Study: Graham reduces tender solicitation cycles and RFI turnaround with Oracle Construction and Engineering (Aconex)

Graham Reduces Tender Solicitation Cycles by 90%

Graham, working on the North Island Hospitals project in Vancouver Island, Canada, needed to manage the design and construction of two coordinated hospital sites under a public-private partnership with more than 500 project participants across 100 organizations. The team faced heavy document control demands, many versions and communication threads, and strict compliance requirements for PPP and LEED Gold certification. Oracle Construction and Engineering’s Aconex platform was used to support document control, correspondence, and workflow management.

Oracle Construction and Engineering implemented Aconex to create a centralized, auditable record of project data and improve coordination across the entire program. The results were significant: tender solicitation cycles were reduced by 90%, from one day to an hour or less; RFI turnaround time was cut by 50%, saving about C$60,000 per year in administrative headcount; and defect logging and distribution time dropped by 80–85% per defect using Aconex Field.
