Case Study: University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) achieves dramatic time savings—cutting utility report time from 8–9 hours to 30 minutes—with Trimble e-Builder

University of Maryland Medical Center Utilizes Technology to Streamline Processes

University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC), one of the nation’s oldest academic medical centers with two Baltimore hospitals and a $40M annual capital program (including a $600M hospital and a $175M cancer center expansion), faced fragmented document storage, paper-based field surveys, and time-consuming reporting that forced staff to chase paperwork rather than manage projects.

Implementing e-Builder’s centralized document management, mobile site-survey app, and reporting module streamlined data capture and communication. The change cut a comprehensive utility outage report from 8–9 hours to 30 minutes, created an automated audit trail and version control, and freed project managers from administrative tasks so they can focus on jobsite oversight, schedule and quality.
