Business challenges

Reporting was ad hoc, time consuming and not 100% up to date
Errors in naming, numbering and documentation caused delays and could lead to an imperfect document register provided to their client
Lack of a secure central platform on which to collaborate
Needed to meet BIM level 2 compliance and make it easier to manage model reviews

Aconex is one of the top construction management systems in terms of reporting.
