GHD evaluated the cases fairly based on the careful and phenomenal documents that were created, took care of, and archived in ProjectWise EADOC. By leveraging this project data, GHD worked out a time expansion of 107 work days, to which the proprietor and contractor agreed.

GHD made use of ProjectWise EADOC to efficiently manage the project's 262 submittals, 76 RFIs, 36 design clarification memos, 163 records associated with the design clarifications, 711 contractor day-to-day production records, 553 day-to-day construction quality control records, and 32 adjustment required notifications. ProjectWise EADOC's paper module managed all project illustrations, requirements, construction pictures, archaeological, ecological, and UXO (unexploded statute) tracking reports. GHD estimates that ProjectWise EADOC conserved its submittal and RFI manager approximately 400 resource hours, and significantly enhanced effectiveness for the entire project team.
