Case Study: Natural History Museum achieves on-budget delivery and 24/7 project access with Viewpoint For Projects

Natural History Museum Using Viewpoint For Projects

Viewpoint, a Trimble company used by thousands of customers worldwide, supported the Natural History Museum’s Darwin Centre Phase 2 — a complex £78m, eight‑storey project housing millions of specimens and advanced laboratory facilities. With tight budget constraints driven by donor funding and a geographically dispersed delivery team, the museum needed a reliable way to manage large volumes of drawings, documents and photos and to control information flow across multiple stakeholders.

The museum implemented Viewpoint For Projects to provide a single, easy‑to‑use repository for documents, drawings, specifications and photos, with 24/7 access and off‑site upload capability. The system’s audit trail and centralized storage reduced administrative time, improved collaboration and generated measurable cost savings, helping the project stay on track and on budget.
