Case Study: McCorvey Companies achieves major time and cost savings through standardized processes and clearer communication with Smartsheet

McCorvey automates construction manufacturing work management and elevates the voices of its experts with Smartsheet Control Center and WorkApps

McCorvey Companies, a family-owned construction manufacturer founded in 1925, fabricates and installs ductwork, piping, and plumbing across the Southeastern U.S. Rapid growth across multiple specialized businesses exposed inconsistent, paper-based processes and siloed tools that led to lost prints, communication delays, and idle crews—prompting the need for a single platform to standardize workflows, improve visibility, and enable remote access.

By deploying Smartsheet Control Center and WorkApps to digitize production drawings, schedule fabrication, and automate workflows across estimating, purchasing, field ops and more, McCorvey created role-tailored workspaces and a single system of record. The company cut printing costs by about $80,000/year, saved $50K–$100K on tool rentals, reduced communication time by 6–8 hours/week, shortened onsite drawing updates from half a day to 10–15 minutes, and achieved roughly a 60–70% gain in workflow efficiency (with communications up ~400%), while capturing and scaling employee expertise.
