Case Study: Straits Construction achieves a 20% reduction in major reworks with PlanGrid Build

How Straits Construction Expects to Reduce Major Reworks by 20%

Straits Construction Singapore, founded in 1969, is a leading general contractor and prefabricator with a strong focus on innovation. On The Continuum — a complex development across two plots that includes a protected heritage bungalow — the company faced tight coordination, conservation constraints and a pressing need for real-time, traceable project data to reduce confusion, waste and rework.

By adopting Autodesk Construction Cloud and applying Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (APCS, PBU, PPVC, PMEP), plus detailed 3D scans and an upfront information freeze, Straits established a single source of truth for timely, data-driven decisions. The result is more predictable construction cycles, fewer variation orders and an anticipated at least 20% reduction in major reworks, with improved cost, schedule and quality outcomes and better benchmarking for future projects.
