Case Study: The PENTA Building Group achieves faster project delivery and improved field collaboration with PlanGrid Build

The Penta Building Group - Customer Case Study

The PENTA Building Group, led in Las Vegas by VDC Manager Cliff Cole, faced the challenge of shifting from documentation-heavy government work to fast-moving hospitality, gaming and entertainment projects that often start from schematic plans and demand rapid turnarounds with minimal disruption to operating businesses. Teams needed to manage frequent design changes, tight schedules and high client expectations while coordinating many stakeholders on complex, occupied sites.

Cole responded by championing BIM and VDC workflows—teaching himself BIM on the Golden Nugget Rush Tower—and rolling out PlanGrid as a single source for drawings and collaboration. Using overlays for fast change management, phased planning, and better model-driven client reviews, PENTA delivered marquee projects on schedule with minimal impact, improved information sharing and notifications, and established a repeatable, tech-forward approach now being implemented across the company.
