BuildRight Construction is a regional general contractor specializing in commercial and institutional projects ranging from $2M to $25M. Like many construction firms, they struggled with the gap between field operations and financial reporting.
Project managers were making decisions based on cost reports that were weeks old. By the time budget overruns were identified, it was too late to take corrective action. The company averaged 12% cost overruns across their project portfolio.
After implementing GURU's Project Operations & Construction Control module, BuildRight achieved real-time visibility into project costs for the first time. Committed costs (including approved subcontracts and POs) were tracked alongside actual costs, giving project managers an accurate picture of projected final costs.
Within the first year, BuildRight reduced project cost overruns from 12% to 3%, recovering their implementation investment in the first quarter. Field reporting went from paper-based to fully digital, with daily logs, safety reports, and progress photos captured via mobile devices.
