Buildots and Juneau Construction lead the way Large-scale University of Tennessee housing project optimized with Performance-Driven Construction Management
“Juneau constantly seeks to improve quality and efficiency to maximize the value we bring to our clients. With Buildots, we have exceptional control and visibility on large and complex projects like Hub Knoxville,” said Greg Cornwell, VP of Operations at Juneau Construction. This commitment to innovation and construction excellence is at the heart of the company's latest project: the expansive Hub Knoxville student housing development at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, spanning over 800,000 sq ft across three buildings.”
Integrating objective data and key performance metrics
To achieve these ambitious goals, Juneau Construction has adopted Buildots’ Performance-Driven Construction Management (PDCM) approach and implemented it using the Buildots platform. PDCM transforms construction management through a dynamic feedback loop where the project team continuously measures project progress & performance, analyzes the root causes of forecasted delays, and develops targeted mitigation plans. This iterative process involves executing the mitigation plans and meticulously tracking their impact. Critical performance indicators, such as Area Utilization, Percent Plan Complete (PPC), and Delay Forecasting, become invaluable tools for project managers. By leveraging these insights, Juneau's project teams can enhance schedule adherence and overall project efficiency, ensuring that each phase of the project is optimized and any issues are promptly addressed.
Advanced control over complex construction projects
The insights gained from Buildots' AI-driven analytics can be instrumental, especially in maintaining control over large, complex projects like Hub Knoxville, featuring nearly 600 units, 20,000 square feet of rooftop space, and almost 23,000 square feet of interior amenities. Managing such a multitude of moving parts is a significant challenge. Without clear, real-time insights from the site, issues can remain undetected until it's too late, causing cascading delays that disrupt the entire project timeline. According to industry data, 75% of construction projects are delayed by an average of 20%.
The key to reducing construction delays by up to 50%
This prevalent issue highlights the critical need for innovative solutions that can effectively mitigate delays and manage associated risks, such as inefficient use of physical resources on-site. By implementing Performance Driven Construction Management (PDCM) using Buildots’ AI-powered analytics, teams can reduce project delays by up to 50%. Greg Cornwell emphasized this benefit of Buildots, stating, “Buildots has significantly improved our insights into field execution, enhancing quality control and preventing delays.”
Buildots AI at One Park Tower in Miami
Following this shared success, Buildots technology is now set to be utilized in another significant Juneau project: the 299-unit, 33-story One Park Tower luxury condominium in North Miami. “We’re proud to partner with Juneau Construction and pleased to see how their use of Buildots and our Performance-Driven Construction Management (PDCM) method has minimized delays and boosted efficiency at Hub Knoxville,” concludes Aviv Leibovici, Buildots Co-founder and CPO. “We look forward to continuing our partnership, providing data-driven insights to guide major construction projects across the Southeast.”
