Vendors
Jamestown Development.
• Trying to coordinate work between 3 GC’s
How could new Technology for Construction solve.
• JMW introduced the iPad and Apps
Advancing Professional Construction and Program Management Worldwide
Background (JMW workflows)
iPad Program Developed To:
1. Reduce time walking back
and forth to view plans
2. Reduce time it takes to
document safety items
3. Reduce time to take and send
photos
4. Reduce amount of time for
punch list sign off

PlanGrid (Jamestown)
Advancing Professional Construction and Program Management Worldwide
“On a project with the size and scope of Ponce City Market, clear
communication and coordination is paramount. J.M. Wilkerson’s introduction
of Plan Grid to the project allowed for updates to be shared across multiple
general contractors, ownership and design professionals instantly – allowing
for better version control and clearer communication across all of the teams.
This shared information included not only changes to the plans, but answers
to RFI’s, punch lists, and countless other coordination issues. Beyond the
utility in the field during the construction process, Plan Grid has also helped
our on-site engineering and property management teams to be able to
access everything they needed in order to learn about the building, because
the most recent versions of all plans, specifications, and submittals are all
organized and housed in one place.”
Annie Evans
Vice President Development & Construction
Jamestown, L.P.
PlanGrid (J.M. Wilkerson)
“I think Plangrid benefits me most of all because of being able to check previous
versions. It is also particularly quick about sending screen snapshots of
whatever detail you are talking about.
Even if a sub had a breakdown and did not use the latest set on PlanGrid, we
can always drop back and point out how it was available to them even if it
wasn’t sent directly to them and part of their contract.
No arguments over cost about fixing. This is on top of most subs using it and
not having a problem about previous sets of drawings. Version control is the
chief advantage of the PlanGrid program.”

What Can Apps Do?
Advancing Professional Construction and Program Management Worldwide
Uses for Tablets on Projects
How to use New Technology to Streamline Jobsite Information Work Flows:
• Replacing paper plans and specs with electronic documents that authorized team members can access from any device;
• Reducing the need for IT support and computing hardware at jobsite trailers;
• Speeding up the submission and approval of change requests, invoices and other field-generated documents;
• Real-time linking of job financial and operational data, allowing managers to react to potential problems before they become real losses;
• Eliminating the need for multiple trips between jobsites and the office to deliver, gather or process information.

J.M. Wilkerson ROI (Photos)
Main Item Focused on is Time Savings for Superintendents
• 10 hours per week per Supervisor ($34 ph average)
• 10 hours x $34 ph = $340 labor hours
• 18 Supers x $340= $6,120 labor hours
• $6,120 x 52 weeks = $318,240
What can a Superintendent Find in 10 Extra Hours on a Project?
• Processes tracked
• Progress photos, daily reports, viewing drawings, email
