Case Study: SAM Drylining cuts revenue losses and boosts field productivity with PlanGrid Build

How to Reduce Your Losses with Cloud-based Construction Management — the SAM Drylining Way

SAM Drylining is a specialist subcontractor in the Rhondda Valley, Wales, focused on suspended ceilings and partitions for hospitals, schools and offices. The company relied on paper for site drawings, change notices and compliance records, which created communication breakdowns between sites and the head office, delayed commercial reporting, cost the business entitlement to payments, and left the firm exposed to compliance risks.

In June 2018 SAM implemented PlanGrid (Autodesk Construction Cloud), issuing iPads and training project managers to share, update and tag drawings and issues in real time. The cloud-based workflow removed paper handovers, improved transparency and client communication, reduced causes of lost revenue, and significantly boosted field productivity and collaboration — benefits the company continues to build on across new projects.
