Lahey Constructions, a top Tier 2 contractor in Australia, delivering high quality government projects, was looking to transform and significantly grow their business. They identified technology and specifically Aconex as a key solution to support that transformation through process and information management, reporting and control.
Inconsistent processes across projects
Lack of timely and accurate management reporting
Upstream and downstream collaboration with external stakeholders (Clients, Consultants and Program Managers)
Disparate software solutions and databases that were not integrated
Inefficient processes due to lack of tracking, transparency and automation
Standardization of project information and process management across the operations of the business
The efficiency Lahey has gained by using Aconex is making us hard to beat in competitive situations.
