Case Study: Brasfield & Gorrie achieves integrated quality management and faster field collaboration on a 1M sq ft hospital with PlanGrid Build

How Brasfield & Gorrie Used Integrated Quality Management to Improve the Delivery of a Large Hospital Project

Brasfield & Gorrie, one of the largest U.S. general contractors, tackled a 1‑million‑square‑foot expansion at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital where keeping the project on schedule and under budget — coordinating almost $800,000 of work per workday and protecting critical systems for patients — depended on everyone working from the latest information. Previous digital attempts had failed in the field (slow PDF rendering, fragmented platforms), leaving teams reverting to paper and risking costly delays and quality issues.

They implemented PlanGrid within Autodesk Construction Cloud to create an integrated quality-management and field-collaboration platform. Subcontractors were productive on day one, project managers could update and distribute revised drawings to 500+ users in under an hour, and leadership maintained a single data source for turnover — improving quality control, schedule adherence, and operational handover on a complex healthcare build.
