For more than 35 years G. Christianson Construction has been operating throughout the Mid-Willamette Valley of Oregon, USA. The personal relationships the company is able to build with clients, coupled with their sustainable building practices and materials has earned them a high amount of trust in their local community.

Yet as was the case for many businesses, the pandemic has taken its toll. For the construction industry that means there’s more work to be done. Great! While also dealing with higher costs for materials and resources. Not so great. It appeared that G. Christianson Construction needed to reevaluate their current resource management and project scheduling workflow.

Challenge

Whether it’s commercial buildings, interior home remodels, or their own custom built cabinets –  G. Christianson Construction adds their own unique spin and personal touch to every project in their diverse portfolio. That’s why at any given time they have multiple projects running simultaneously throughout Corvallis, Oregon and beyond. 

The past few years especially saw a steep increase in upcoming new projects. And with came the need to manage all the people, material, machinery, and subcontractors required to complete the work. As Owner, Carl Christianson put it:

Our solution

To tackle these problems, the superintendents took action. Having tried out Ganttic in 2018, they didn’t think the app was a perfect fit at the time. But some feature updates on our end, and the need for an improved workflow was enough to change their minds. Plus, as Superintendent Tanner Wood noted:

“Four years later, we came to realize that there’s no perfect solution. What we were using was so imperfect, we were comparing it to building a grand piano with a hatchet.”

Building their own solution

Ganttic’s customer support team worked closely with G. Christianson’s superintendents in the onboarding process. Doing so helped in recommending the best features and project scheduling techniques to better suit their specific workflow. 

Results:

Cost Savings
The material and attendance features have helped them save 4% on their overall project cost. Today, they have organized records on labor and vendor attendance and material expenditures, providing clear visibility of payables and receivables.

Project Visibility
The entire team gets visibility on the progress of various projects; it has solved the problem of project delays by saving us almost 506 days.

Task and chat features let the team members communicate with one click. People can be held accountable easily, and it increases transparency across teams.
