High-Tech Innovation Raises the Industry Bar

摘要

Few firms in the risk-averse world of commercial contracting are willing to invest heavily in developing their own project-delivery software and even fewer opt to share those innovations with peers and competitors. But that is precisely what the leaders at PCL Construction Services Inc. decided to do with the company's new PartsLab software. It's a bold business strategy that is raising eyebrows across the industry. PartsLab is an Autodesk Revit add-in that PCL officials say will revolutionize the way the industry creates and manages construction documentation. The software is a native Autodesk Revit feature that is designed to improve collaboration among project teams and diminish downstream re-creation of models by field staff.
