O’Shea Builders

The Company: About O’Shea Builders

As a construction organization upheld by people focused values, O’Shea Builders is a leading commercial construction services provider headquartered in Springfield, Illinois. Established in 1900, the firm has expanded their service offering, growing to three key business areas, each run by specialized teams: Building Construction, Civil Construction, and Building Services.

The Situation: Document Management

Before the switch, O’Shea was running on 14 non-integrated business systems that didn’t talk to each other, creating redundant work and an overload of inefficiencies. Its project management tools that were adequate in their earlier years, could no longer keep pace with the growing volume of complex projects.

Document management added to the strain. With no consistent, universal format, files were being handled differently across teams. And because so much of the business still depended on manual processes and reporting, decisions took longer and operations had slowed down.

The Solution: CMiC Construction ERP

O’Shea replaced its 14 disconnected systems with CMiC Construction ERP’s single unified platform built specifically for construction. With everything in one place, teams no longer had to reenter data or reconcile information across applications.

Project managers gained more sophisticated tools to manage an increasingly complex project load. Automated workflows took over the manual reporting that had been slowing the business down, giving teams faster access to the information they needed.

The Results: CMiC Construction Implementation Benefits

With CMiC, O’Shea significantly accelerated their contract execution, with subcontract changes now completed in just 2.5 days. Office and field teams share real-time visibility into project data, which has improved risk management and made collaboration across teams far more effective.

Managers have also reclaimed their time. Instead of getting pulled into manual work, they now have the bandwidth to focus on priorities that move projects forward.
