A leading general contractor broke ground on the construction of a major public high school campus, a large-scale build involving 75 subcontracting companies and nearly 1,000 workers, sequenced around a campus that stayed active with students and staff throughout much of the work.
Education construction runs on a different clock than most jobsites. Access has to respect the school day and the academic calendar, contractors and vendors need to be clearly distinguishable from students and staff, and the public owner needs reporting it can bring to the school board and the community, not just to the project team. Getting that right meant knowing exactly who was on site, which trades were active, and how the work was progressing, every day, without disrupting the campus around it.
The team needed to:
With a community and a school board both counting on the outcome, informal tracking was never going to be enough.
The contractor selected Sitemetric to give the project a record of workforce activity it could stand behind, in front of the school board as much as the project team, combining connected hardware at site entry points, real-time data and reporting, and expert onsite staffing to manage access as workers arrived on site.
Attendance, credentials, employer information, and trade data were captured at every entry point, with badges clearly distinguishing contractors and vendors from students and staff, and escort protocols in place for student- and staff-occupied areas. The result was a consistent, real-time account of who was on site and what work was happening, on a campus that never fully cleared out for construction.
With Sitemetric in place, the project team replaced manual tracking and fragmented processes with one connected system built to hold up to school board and public scrutiny. Across more than 258,000 hours of construction activity and counting, the public owner has a record of the build it can point to, on a campus that kept operating throughout.
Education construction doesn't get an empty jobsite. With badges that clearly separated contractors and vendors from students and staff, and escort protocols active in occupied areas across 913 unique workers, the project team kept construction activity accounted for without construction becoming a daily disruption to campus life.
Automated manpower and labor hour reporting gave the public owner a consistent, ongoing account of the build, ready for board and community review, not just a snapshot at each milestone. With 32,516 worker-days logged and more than 258,000 total hours captured to date, the project record is detailed enough to stand behind at any point in the build.
Project teams could see who was on site, which companies and trades were active, and how labor was distributed across every phase and work area of the campus, updated continuously as the build moved around the rhythm of the school day. As the build scaled, that visibility scaled with it.
