Jorge Monge Viquez, general manager at engineering
and project management firm MERIDIA, knows the
biggest enemies to productivity and profits —
rework, inefficiency and loss of resources — are
often caused by miscommunication during the
construction process.
Until recently, MERIDIA mainly relied on typical 2D
project drawings and images to provide a sense of the
space in which they worked.
But Viquez knew there was a better approach to
visualizing projects and bridging the physical distance
between the office and the field. He found that and
more through a Trimble cloud-based solution that
connects the field, office and other stakeholders
in powerful new ways.
Using Trimble's technology, MERIDIA was able to:
• Eliminate more than 50% of owner-driven
changes during construction, saving more
than 2% of the initial project budget.
• Avoid creating real-size mock-ups,
which typically cost over $10,000.
• Save more than $18,000 per person
per year on corporate travel.
• Reduce the need for on site presence and
joint face-to-face meetings, which also avoids
work-stop orders.
Now, we can ensure that all projects have a
single source of truth and strong coordination
among all key players' teams," Viquez said.
