One Platform, Endless Possibilities: Paragon Homes Success Story with Buildern
Company Name: Paragon Homes
Specialization: Custom design for residential family homes
Years of Operation: 13 years
Location: Toowoomba, QLD, Australia
The Key Challenge: Struggling with managing scattered project information across multiple apps, leading to confusion and lost clients.
The Result: Moving all their data to Buildern, Paragon Homes was able to draw a clear path for seamless communication between their team members and clients, resulting in better project management and increased customer satisfaction.
Paragon Homes has been among the leading custom home builders in Toowoomba, QLD, building residential family homes with a reputation for precision and quality for over 13 years.
However, as the company grew, so did the complexity of its operations. Managing projects across multiple platforms became time-consuming, leading to inefficiencies.
The Key Problem: Disconnected Systems Causing Confusion
Before Buildern, Paragon Homes explored several construction project management software options in hopes of streamlining their workflow. Despite the team’s commitment to improving their operational efficiency, each new software solution presented its own set of challenges.
“Finding a program that would take us from the start of an estimate through the handover with the warrant of keeping all the information in one place seemed impossible,” says the company’s director Steve Glover.
Some platforms offered flexible project scheduling capabilities but fell short in providing effective financial tools necessary for managing costs and budget.
Others had impressive design and visualization features but lacked the flexibility needed to accommodate the team’s work with clients and sub/vendors.
“We were using too many different apps, and some information would be updated in one app but not in the other, which would lead to confusion,” shared the team at Paragon Homes.
Each attempt to integrate these systems left Paragon Homes struggling with incomplete solutions, ultimately causing frustration and reverting them back to their established, still disjointed, processes.
The Impact: Centralized Information and Improved Workflow with Buildern
Implementing Buildern, the company experienced a significant shift in managing its projects. By consolidating all their data in one place, they now have complete control over every aspect of a project, from the initial estimation to winning the proposals and final project delivery.
“Buildern met the needs for some of the big-ticket items we were struggling with, and they’re looking at developing the additional features we want.”
Let’s further see what Buildern offers and how it can tackle construction project management challenges effectively.
