Shaub Construction: Changing Company Culture
Through Process Automation

Company Overview:

Shaub Construction is a leading construction firm that has seen significant transformation since the arrival of new leadership in 2016. Prior to this, the company was managing multimillion-dollar projects without the aid of project management software. This manual approach led to inefficiencies and challenges in various aspects of their operations, from handling subcontracts to budgeting and preconstruction.

Challenge:

When the new leadership team took the helm in 2016, they found that Shaub Construction was struggling with outdated and cumbersome processes. Subcontracts were managed in spreadsheets, budgets required extensive manual manipulation, and preconstruction was bogged down by the time-consuming task of collecting and analyzing multiple trade bids. “Our contracts were out of control,” Project Manager, Hamilton Brooks recalled. “We didn’t have a sophisticated system in place. It made preconstruction a lot more difficult and inefficient.” The lack of a streamlined system was not only time-consuming but also increased the risk of errors and miscommunications, hindering the company’s ability to deliver projects efficiently and effectively.

Solution:

To address these challenges, Shaub Construction implemented RedTeam as a fully integrated project management solution. This cloud-based platform transformed their approach to subcontracting, change orders, and reconciliation, streamlining tasks that previously took hours down to mere minutes. RedTeam centralized and made accessible everything from subcontractor communication to financial visibility, providing a comprehensive solution to their operational needs.
“RedTeam is a complete package. It’s changed our whole culture and how we operate. Everything we’re doing basically lives in RedTeam,” said Brooks. The platform’s robust features and user-friendly interface allowed the team to manage projects more efficiently and with greater precision. “RedTeam works like a well-designed clock,” they added. The seamless integration and automation capabilities of the system ensured that all aspects of project management were handled smoothly and consistently, leading to a more cohesive and productive company culture.

Results:

The implementation of RedTeam brought about several significant improvements for Shaub Construction:
  • Subcontract generation now happens in minutes, not hours: What used to be a lengthy and complex process has been streamlined, allowing project managers to generate and redact subcontracts quickly and accurately.
  • Financial data integrates cleanly with accounting software for Real-Time Accuracy: The seamless integration with their accounting software ensures that financial data is always up-to-date, providing real-time visibility and accuracy.
  • Project Managers Can Focus More Time on the Field and High-Value tasks: With the administrative workload significantly reduced, project managers can now spend more time on-site, where their expertise and value are most needed. This shift has led to better project oversight and more strategic decision-making.
“If you’re looking to overcome the challenges you currently have, it’s 100% worth your time to request a demo. You’ll see the value in being able to accomplish everything in one spot,” advised Brooks. The transformation brought about by RedTeam has not only improved operational efficiency but also enhanced the company’s ability to deliver high-quality projects and build stronger client relationships.

Conclusion

Shaub Construction’s journey is a powerful illustration of how process automation can change a company’s culture and operations for the better. By implementing RedTeam, they overcame the inefficiencies and challenges of manual processes, leading to faster project turnaround times, better financial management, and a more focused and productive team. Their experience highlights the importance of investing in the right technology to drive growth and maintain a competitive edge in the construction industry. For other companies facing similar challenges, Shaub Construction’s success with RedTeam serves as a compelling example of the transformative power of modern project management solutions.
