Case Study: Volkert achieves standardized, centralized project controls and improved efficiency with Trimble e-Builder

Volkert - Customer Case Study

Volkert, founded in 1925 and headquartered in Mobile, Alabama, is a multidisciplinary engineering, planning and program/construction management firm serving K‑12, higher education, government and other public-sector clients. As its program management practice expanded to oversee multi‑million dollar capital programs (including the Birmingham City Schools and the $135M Gulf State Park project), Volkert faced a lack of standardization and the need to manage growing project complexity without adding staff.

Volkert implemented e-Builder’s cloud-based project management platform to centrally manage communications, schedules, forecasts, budgets and cost control across multiple projects and offices. The standardized, automated processes eliminated duplicate data entry, improved visibility and decision-making, reduced conflicts and change orders, shortened cycle times, lowered project costs and enabled the firm to scale its program management services while maintaining client satisfaction.
