Days of subcontractor delays avoided
GTM Sud-Ouest TP GC consortium, a subsidiary of VINCI Construction, and SOCOTRAP joined forces with Buildots to enhance efficiency in delivering a part of the new assembly line for a global pioneer in the aerospace sector in Toulouse.
Challenge
The project came with several unique challenges. As a top-tier aerospace company, the highest standards for quality and execution were required, emphasizing the mission-critical nature of the work.This required meticulous documentation and transparent reporting on completed work, especially when modifications were made.
Secondly, delays in assembly line construction can be especially difficult, as every lost day means postponing opening and delaying production. Avoiding this was crucial.
“For me the top benefit of Buildots is taking back control of construction delivery and helping us make the right decisions at the right time, always with the same objective in mind – to deliver the project on time.”
Brice Boncheau, Project Director | GTM SUD-OUEST TP GC
Solution and results
Buildots supported GTM Sud-Ouest TP GC and SOCOTRAP by delivering:
- Delay forecasting and accurate production rate analysis: This helped the consortium shift from a reactive approach to proactive management by identifying issues before they derailed the project. Each subcontractor saved two to three days of planning.
- Detection of issues and errors, and changes to sequences, cadences and due dates: It's estimated that the partners avoided one to two major critical situations each week through early detection.
- Streamlined monitoring and reporting: The Explorer feature immediately reduced the number of site visits to two per day. Over the six-month duration of the project, the team estimates that they reduced time spent on manual data collection by about 66%.
“It shows subcontractors where they can improve. With one click, we can see what they've done and what they can achieve. This ultimately speeds up the start of activities and work sequences significantly.”
Yvan Niederhoffer, Construction Engineer | SOCOTRAP
