Remote Site Management at Brookfield Residential
Challenge
Land development professionals are responsible for multiple project sites across large geographic areas, spending up to six hours a day on the road. Without being on site each day, decisions are delayed, issues are not identified early, and it negatively affects the project schedule.
The TraceAir Solution
Before TraceAir, Vice President of Land Development at Brookfield Residential, Gonzalo Rodriguez, spent hours driving each jobsite, tracking progress, and resolving issues on site. "I couldn't be as effective because I couldn't physically drive each jobsite as often as I needed to. Our projects suffered from things not getting done," he recalled.
Gonzalo and his team began using TraceAir to manage Brookfield Residential's portfolio of projects in the Bay Area. TraceAir's web-based software provides the ability to view high-resolution aerial images of each project from the office, home, or while traveling. Gonzalo was able to leverage technology to minimize long drives between job sites.
TraceAir's collaborative platform allows project teams to communicate information, plan sequencing, track material quantities and site balance, and prevent costly delays without being on site.
Using TraceAir, Gonzalo is able to access his projects from any location, saving hours on the road. TraceAir's easy-to-use, cloud-based software allows teams to communicate progress, resolve issues effectively, and keep projects on schedule.
With TraceAir, I've extended my ability to see our projects from the office, from home, or wherever I am.
