PlanRadar Joins Forces With Axis To Elevate Construction Project Management

In a significant move within the construction and architectural industry, PlanRadar, a prominent provider of digital platforms for construction, real estate, and facilities management, has announced a strategic partnership with Axis Building Envelope. This collaboration is set to enhance the way Axis, an architectural and engineering firm known for its advanced waterproofing solutions, manages its residential and commercial building projects. David Homola, VP of Sales at PlanRadar, expressed enthusiasm about transforming Axis's service delivery through their digital tools.

Axis Building Envelope, headquartered in California, is renowned for its involvement in high-profile design and construction projects across various sectors including residential, commercial, and retail. The firm's commitment to design excellence, quality assurance, investigative services, and construction administration has established it as a leader in the field. Notably, Axis has contributed to the waterproofing design and quality control of the GENESIS Marina life sciences campus in the Bay Area.

However, Axis faced challenges in delivering client reports promptly, with turnaround times previously extending up to two months. This delay affected the firm’s responsiveness and efficiency in managing over 60 active construction sites.

PlanRadar's introduction has marked a significant improvement in Axis's operational capabilities. The platform's plan-based ticketing system allows for the generation of high-quality PDF reports within days instead of months. Real-time updates on project progress and issue resolution have enhanced oversight significantly. Additionally, customizable checklists have improved inspection management and team training.

Kevin Moultrie, Sr. Waterproofing Consultant at Axis, highlighted the efficiency gains from using PlanRadar, noting that what used to be an eight-hour inspection process is now reduced to five hours. This efficiency not only streamlines workflow but also ensures thoroughness and quality in project management.

The partnership has yielded remarkable outcomes for Axis:

• Report completion times reduced from up to 60 days to less than a week.
• Rapid creation of professional-quality PDF reports.
• Enhanced project oversight through real-time updates.
• Improved inspection management through custom checklists.
• Better team communication with detailed context for ticket resolution readily available.

Ongoing Developments

The successful rollout of PlanRadar has been crucial in supporting Axis's expansion efforts. By broadening collaboration with subcontractors and third-party participants within the PlanRadar environment, Axis is enhancing the speed and efficiency of issue resolution across various project locations.
