Case Study: Whitman, Requardt & Associates achieves faster job close-outs and saves time with PlanGrid Build

How Whitman, Requardt & Associates Close Jobs Faster with Construction Data Management

Whitman, Requardt & Associates (WRA) is a 500–1,000‑person engineering, architecture, construction management and environmental firm focused on large infrastructure projects like highways, bridges and wastewater facilities. Their challenge was coordinating many stakeholders—owners, designers, contractors and inspectors—who often worked from different plan sets, resulting in slow close-outs, repeated information requests, and coordination delays that put cost, schedule and quality at risk.

WRA adopted PlanGrid within Autodesk Construction Cloud as a single cloud-based document and field collaboration system, inviting owners into projects, overlaying drawings, uploading site photos, and managing punch lists in real time. The result: faster coordination and fewer disputes, on‑site issues identified before construction saved client costs, a project with 300+ punch items was closed in 30 days (versus nearly six months on a prior project), improved safety and client visibility, and a stronger track record that helps WRA win more work.
