Case Study: Barton Malow achieves enhanced safety, quality and productivity with Trimble's constructible process

Barton Malow Drives Safety, Quality, and Productivity With a Constructible Process

Barton Malow is a Michigan‑based, self‑perform general contractor founded in 1924 with about 2,000 employees and 16 offices, delivering roughly 500 projects a year across commercial, industrial and institutional markets. The company faced fragmented, largely 2D workflows and multiple disparate software systems that limited visibility, slowed estimating and coordination, and constrained efforts to improve safety, quality and productivity.

To fix this, Barton Malow adopted a constructible BIM process and a centralized suite of Trimble solutions—including WinEst, Modelogix, Tekla Structures, Prolog, CrewSight, Field Link and field‑scanning tools—plus standardized cost codes and integrated ERP workflows. The change delivered faster, more transparent estimates, real‑time reporting and better pre‑jobsite coordination, reduced rework and increased field productivity and safety, giving the firm clearer project visibility and a competitive advantage.
