Case Study: Joeris General Contractors achieves 5–7 hours/week field-time savings and 30–40% faster punchlist completion with PlanGrid Build

How Joeris General Contractors, Ltd. Improves Field Efficiency

Joeris General Contractors, one of Texas’s largest general contracting firms, sought to modernize field workflows that relied on paper drawings and frequent trips to the trailer. With tech-averse superintendents and a need for real-time access to up-to-date plans across large education projects, Joeris needed a mobile blueprint solution that was fast, easy to adopt and would reduce rework and downtime.

Joeris piloted and then rolled out PlanGrid on key jobs, issuing iPads, running trainings and standardizing workflows; the app’s fast navigation, offline access, automatic versioning and issue tracking improved collaboration with subs and sped up punchlists. Field staff saved 5–7 hours per week (PMs ~5 hrs), punchlist schedules were cut by an estimated 30–40% (from 6–8 weeks toward 2.5 weeks), ROI was positive across projects, and Joeris has mandated PlanGrid company-wide with full superintendent training and 30+ active projects.
