Case Study: McGregor Industries Inc. achieves faster, safer stair installations and real-time field collaboration with PlanGrid Build

McGregor Industries Inc. - Customer Case Study

McGregor Industries Inc., a nearly 100-year-old Pennsylvania-based miscellaneous metals fabricator and erector led by Grace McGregor Kramer, specializes in high-rise tower stairs and railings. The company faced complex, fast-paced projects—like a 60-stair accelerated scope at the Wynn Casino and multi-tower high-rise installs—that exposed communication gaps between field, detailing, and design teams and threatened schedule, safety, and profitability.

To address this, McGregor embraced BIM, early cross-trade coordination, tablets in the field, and PlanGrid for real-time markups and version control. The result: faster, safer installations and fewer field delays—teams stayed on concrete schedules, stair systems were fabricated ahead of time, lost time was reduced, productivity and morale improved, and the company delivered projects on schedule and with better cost control.
