How a Stockton Construction Company Cut RFI Turnaround Time and Kept Crews Connected

Case Study Overview

Industry Commercial Construction

Location Stockton, California

Company Size Approximately 60 employees (office and field)

Technology Environment

  • Microsoft 365
  • Project-management platform
  • Bluebeam Revu
  • AutoCAD
  • QuickBooks
  • Jobsite Wi-Fi
  • Mobile devices
  • VPN connectivity

The Challenge

A growing construction company’s biggest bottleneck was the gap between the office and the field.

Employees regularly reported:

  • Plans and RFIs crawled between the jobsite trailer and the office
  • Field crews fought spotty connectivity and slow file access
  • Answers that should take minutes took hours
  • Delays that cost money on tight project schedules

Management wanted a technology partner that could proactively manage their environment and specifically close the gap between office and field teams.

RJ PRO Tech Group Assessment

  • Mobile access
  • Jobsite connectivity
  • VPN performance
  • File synchronization
  • Project-management platform performance
  • Security and backups underneath these systems

The assessment identified exactly where communication was breaking down between the office and active jobsites.

Solution

24/7 Monitoring

Office systems, servers, and network devices were enrolled in continuous monitoring to catch problems before they slowed down projects.
