Case Study: HC Blake achieves streamlined office-to-field collaboration and saves 1–2 hours per day with Trimble Connect & SysQue

HC Blake streamlines officeto-field collaboration with Trimble Connect

HC Blake, a sixth‑generation, Huntsville‑based plumbing, electrical and HVAC contractor, faced productivity bottlenecks as detailers spent hours modeling prefabrication work in Revit and answering frequent field dimension requests. Those manual workflows slowed project delivery and extended new‑hire training, limiting the company’s ability to scale VDC efforts and collaborate efficiently with field teams.

By adopting Trimble SysQue and Trimble Connect as part of Trimble VDC Pro+, HC Blake streamlined detailing with a built‑in MEP component library and enabled instant mobile access to constructible 3D models, status sharing and version control. The change eliminated 1–2 hours per day spent on dimension requests, improved the speed and accuracy of field fabrication, shortened onboarding from 2+ years to roughly six months, and strengthened the company’s estimating accuracy and competitive advantage.
