Case Study: J. Calnan & Associates achieves 4x faster PCO processing and 50% reduced admin time with PlanGrid Build

How J. Calnan & Associates, Inc. Standardized on PlanGrid to Boost Project Efficiency and Collaboration

J. Calnan & Associates (JC&A) is a construction management firm that oversees projects from RFP and design through owner move-in. Faced with fragmented communication, slow document sharing, and difficulty coordinating trades and design changes across mobile job sites, JC&A needed a single, easy-to-use system to align stakeholders and keep projects on schedule.

JC&A standardized on PlanGrid as a mobile single source of truth, mandating its use across projects (including subcontractors). PlanGrid centralized plans, photos, punchlists, and issues, enabled plan overlays to prevent trade conflicts, and sped workflows—PCOs now process about four times faster (from over a month to roughly one week) and administrative time dropped up to 50%. The result: clearer transparency, higher team productivity, and improved project profitability across hundreds of projects.
