JE Dunn Construction used Buildots on a high-rise residential project to move beyond basic quality checks and into a more comprehensive, data-driven management approach. Originally intended as a quality control measure, the platform evolved into a central tool for forecasting, streamlining communication with trade partners, and automating day-to-day supervision tasks.
Watch the video below to find out how Pat McNulty, Senior Project Manager at JE Dunn is using Buildots, and how the partnership has transformed JE Dunn's approach to project delivery.
An ongoing partnership
In addition to the project shown in the above video, JE Dunn has already implemented Buildots on various types of major projects, tracking over 3 million sqft of construction and transforming how it monitors progress, detects issues, and forecasts outcomes. Here are some of the main outcomes:
- Improved communication: Buildots acted as a bridge between JE Dunn and its trade partners, using graphical representations of on-site data to set clear, data-backed expectations.
- Delay mitigation: The Delay Forecast tool allowed project managers to identify potential bottlenecks early by comparing actual progress against the project schedule, enabling them to reallocate manpower before delays occurred.
- Streamlined workflows: By reconciling AI-identified “flags” directly in the Explorer tool, the team replaced fragmented, manual photo walkthroughs with a unified, objective process for resolving issues.
- Effective customer support: A strong partnership and early collaboration with Buildots' support team ensured the platform was customized to JE Dunn's specific project needs and could adapt to changes along the way.
“The Delay Forecast tool…allows us and our trade partner to get on a better page of expectation level. When we say we’re going to complete something, we actually are.”
