Case Study: Wates achieves safer, on‑time project delivery and £40,000 savings with Viewpoint Field View

Wates Group Enhance Safety Procedures with Field View

Wates Group, one of the UK’s largest construction contractors, needed to pause work on projects like the £58.5m Nottingham City Hub when COVID-19 exposed fragmented safety and paperwork processes. With new Site Operating Procedures required and managers constantly shuttling between office and sites, the company needed a fast, reliable way to manage health and safety, track COVID impacts and resume work safely.

Wates deployed Viewpoint Field View within two days, using its cloud/offline platform for photo-tagged snags, customizable safety forms and real-time site diaries and notifications. The digital workflows restored project momentum, improved health and safety compliance, saved managers 2–3 hours a day, delivered the project on time and reduced costs by about £40,000.
