EcoWorld keeps £52M project on track with early risk detection
Key results
Greater visibility
Saw detailed pace and progress for each activity.
Quality control
Improved quality control thanks to Buildots' platform.
9 weeks ahead
Watertight milestone reached ahead of schedule.
EcoWorld London deployed Buildots on the £52M Aberfeldy Village development in East London, covering 223 apartments across two residential blocks and 1,500 sqm of commercial space. Faced with delays threatening the critical ‘watertight' milestone, the team used Buildots’ data-driven insights to identify risks early and take corrective action.
Challenge
EcoWorld saw the need for better visibility and quality control in securing the ‘watertight’ milestone as it has a huge impact on the project delivery timeline. Unfortunately, the subcontractor fitting the windows was falling behind schedule, triggering a domino effect on other activities and potentially causing major delays.
“Buildots tracked issues, helping us secure critical milestones (in this case watertightness), so that the rest of the project could move forward. The beauty of Buildots is information management.”
Chris Brotherhood, Senior Project Manager | EcoWorld London
Solution and results
Buildots provided early warning to EcoWorld about the deviation from the schedule based on solid data helping to de-risk achieving the critical milestone. When it became clear why the subcontractor was falling behind, they initiated a more structured process and increased labor and run rate. As a result, the ‘watertight' milestone was achieved ahead of schedule.
The subcontractor increased labor to stay on the critical path, finishing 9 weeks ahead of schedule on a 65 week program.
