A client challenged AKS's fees on a completed project — claiming some of the work was unnecessary. AKS pulled the project record and found the real story: emails where they'd actively talked the client out of premature work, protecting the client's budget even when it meant less work for AKS. @Michelle Swartout Principal at AKS Engineering and Forestry: "We were able to show them why it was done, and prove we were looking out for their best interest throughout the project. Something that may have taken weeks to put together, we did in a few hours." Dispute resolved in AKS's favor. One project, one record — no chasing down five inboxes. What's sitting in your inbox that could settle a dispute in an afternoon instead of a month? #AECO #RiskManagement #ProjectDocumentation #Newforma

Over 120,000 projects. About 34 million emails. More than 300 million searchable files. That's the scale Derrick Nickerson, AIA says Stantec's Buildings practice manages in Newforma — and at that size, information doesn't just accumulate. As he puts it, it comes "at us from all different angles." Derrick Nickerson, Digital Practice Leader at Stantec Buildings: "Newforma is really the backbone of our project management system." The ROI, in his words: time savings of up to 20–40% — thousands of hours across thousands of projects. And he points to a quieter win that scales just as hard: at Stantec's volume, even a 1–2% cut in rework adds up to an enormous amount of time, and a very large dollar amount, saved. The other half is risk. With a built-in audit trail and one place to find any file, Derrick says the firm avoids the downstream problem nobody wants: "Without Newforma, there's a risk of not finding that particular file — and that could cause rework, additional issues, or potentially litigation." Thank you to Derrick and the Stantec team for sharing your story. #Newforma #AEC #AECO #ConstructionTechnology

Every firm believes their systems talk to each other. Most don't. A model in one platform. Approvals in email. Field data in a separate app. Change orders in yet another. Each system does its job — none of them talk to each other, and nobody owns the space in between. Take the 10-point Gap Check and score your firm: Connected, Fragmented but Functional, or Digital Islands. Five minutes. https://hubs.li/Q04tcPB40 #AEC #ProjectManagement #ConstructionTech #AECO

Construction doesn't have a data problem. It has a memory problem. The approval was given. The instruction was sent. The conversation happened. None of that's usually in question — what's in question is whether anyone can find it again, quickly and without relying on who happens to remember what. 11 questions worth asking yourself before someone else asks them for you. Score your firm: Defensible, Partially Provable, or Unproven. Take the Defensibility Audit: https://hubs.li/Q04tcGgN0 #AEC #ProjectManagement #ConstructionTech #RiskManagement
