Case Study: Unified Building Group achieves streamlined subcontractor reporting and better cost control with Raken

How Raken Helps Unified Building Group Manage 300+ Subcontractors

Unified Building Group, led by founder John Albert, faced the common GC challenge of collecting consistent, timely daily reports from multiple subcontractors; prior systems were expensive, complex, and rarely adopted in the field. To solve this, UBG turned to Raken’s mobile-first daily reporting tool so subs could quickly log progress, manpower, photos and issues without heavy training.

Raken’s simple, fast app was rolled out with minutes‑not‑hours onboarding, giving UBG reliable daily logs that exposed manpower and cost discrepancies, tightened actuals-to-budget tracking, and saved time and money. By making Raken part of its workflow, Unified Building Group improved jobsite communication, recovered accurate man‑hours, and even gained a competitive edge in winning work.
