BC have provided collaboration services to Capita Symonds, one of the UK's largest and most diverse multidisciplinary consultancies operating in the AEC sector, since 2001.

BC forms the basis of a Project Extranet accessible to all parties within each project team. In addition, it can be used as an Information Management tool, taking information from individual sites to a central platform. This has significantly speeded up the mechanics of data transfer, allowing project team members to concentrate on core issues.

Due to the large number of technical drawings to be transferred, the integarted viewer software, allowing users to view, redline and print drawings and documents online, provides Capita Symonds with all the advantages of CAD software without individual users and clients installing the related software or having to download large CAD files.

Anders Naess acknowledges:

“On an average project, the time spent transferring drawings and reports to site has been reduced by two days. Contractors on site get the information they need faster, and the whole project is managed more effectively. We considered a number of software solutions, including iManage and Microsoft SharePoint, but staff at BCL understood the specific needs of the construction industry and could offer software specifically tailored to project management within this sector. ”
