Case Study: Banner Health achieves $70M in savings and real-time construction program visibility with Trimble e-Builder

Banner Health Leveraging Technology for Visibility, Control and Growth

Banner Health, a Phoenix‑based nonprofit health system and one of the largest private employers in Arizona, operates across seven states with over 47,000 employees and $1.6–$1.8 billion in active construction projects (as many as 190 at a time). The organization struggled to gauge financial and schedule performance across its portfolio because data was buried in disparate spreadsheets and inconsistent reporting methods, creating limited visibility and weak cost control between construction management and accounting.

Banner implemented e-Builder’s construction program management software to standardize workflows and centralize project accounting, documentation, issue and schedule management. The system delivered real‑time visibility and reliable forecasting, enabling Banner to track spending accurately, eliminate surprise overruns, reallocate $22 million, and mine $70 million from active projects to fund a new cancer center—giving the organization confident, scalable control over growth.
