Case Study: Buckingham Companies achieves months-early delivery and avoids costs with SmartPM

Buckingham Companies finishes projects 7 months early with SmartPM

Buckingham Companies, a real estate development firm, faced a challenge with hidden schedule risks across its construction projects. Inconsistent schedule logic and a focus on milestone management meant problems often went unseen until it was too late to recover. The company needed a tool and process to make scheduling a priority, leading them to adopt the automated project controls technology from SmartPM.

SmartPM provided a solution centered on three core metrics: schedule quality, compression, and health. This shifted management to the task level, making risks visible immediately. As a result, Buckingham finished one project seven months early and another five months early, avoiding roughly $400,000 in general conditions costs per project. The SmartPM framework is now the operating standard for all Buckingham projects, driving efficiency and early deliveries.
