Case Study: Zachry Construction Corporation improves schedule visibility and predictability with SmartPM

Zachry Construction Corporation speeds delay analysis to minutes with SmartPM

Zachry Construction Corporation, a heavy and civil construction company, was facing significant challenges with its project scheduling. Their existing tools lacked comprehensive graphical insights, required extensive manual data exports to calculate KPIs, and failed to provide a clear, high-level view of potential delays and obstacles. This made the information difficult to obtain and almost irrelevant by the time it was processed. The company sought a schedule-data analytics tool to automate this process and provide better predictability.

Zachry implemented SmartPM, a schedule-data analysis tool, to automate its project controls. The solution provided clear graphical dashboards that allowed for quick communication of a project's status to all levels, from executives to site teams. The results included greatly facilitated management communication, the ability to perform fully automated delay analyses in minutes, and improved predictability that aided in risk management and claim negotiations. SmartPM provided the visibility needed to successfully manage their entire construction portfolio.
