Construction Dive Article: The do’s and don’ts of running a tech pilot

Excerpt: 

Construction has a reputation of being a Luddite industry. Extra costs and an aversion to risk-taking can make builders hesitant to try new technology.

But tales of success can be found, if one knows where to look.

Take, for example, Providence, Rhode Island-based Gilbane Building Co., which used New York City-based Trunk Tools to track 21,000 documents on a large stadium project in Wisconsin. The software saved Gilbane’s project team 20 to 40 minutes in travel and in searching for answers to each question, and more than $100,000 in avoided rework.

The firm thought the results were so successful, it went on to sign an enterprise agreement with Trunk Tools to roll out the tech nationally.
