Case Study: New Mexico Public School Facilities Authority (PSFA) achieves full transparency, taxpayer savings and near-zero litigation with Trimble’s e-Builder

New Mexico Public School Facilities Authority - Customer Case Study

The New Mexico Public School Facilities Authority (PSFA) oversees planning, building and maintaining facilities for 91 school districts (≈900 schools) with $19.5 billion in assets and a 50-person staff. After a 2001 reform that prioritized equity and transparency, PSFA was managing 697 projects worth over $5 billion across disparate systems, juggling multiple funding sources, manual audits, inconsistent workflows, a high facility condition index, and frequent litigation — all of which hindered accountability and efficient use of taxpayer funds.

PSFA implemented e-Builder’s cloud-based, end-to-end capital projects solution with tailored workflows, real-time business intelligence and automated audits, creating a single repository for project, financial and contract data. The result was immediate transparency for stakeholders, streamlined reporting and approvals, substantial staff/time savings, improved budget and schedule compliance, and a dramatic reduction in project litigation.
