Branco Enterprises Selects Submittal Exchange for FEMA Projects
Midwest General Contractor streamlines administration for construction of school district's storm shelters.
CHICAGO, Sept. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Textura Corporation (NYSE: TXTR), the leading provider of collaboration solutions for the construction industry, announced that Branco Enterprises, a leading Midwest construction services provider headquartered in Neosho, Missouri, recently selected Submittal Exchange to implement an easier way to manage their construction administration for the Neosho School District's FEMA storm shelter projects. The district's projects include a high school shelter transformed into a gymnasium and an elementary shelter transformed into locker room space.
"Submittal Exchange will streamline the collaboration process and make our teams more efficient for these important federally supported safe room projects," said Chase Foster, Project Manager for Branco. "With a live feed of documentation, the entire administration process is easier."
Continued Foster, "There's a lot of value in providing all parties access to information online and it puts accountability where it should be at any given point in the process. Having a project directory in the same location as all the documentation will allow us to clarify information so much easier and quicker than when we tracked everything through spreadsheets and email."
The Submittal Exchange® solution helps architects ensure their construction projects stay on budget and on schedule by streamlining communication and automating the approval process. Submittal Exchange connects the entire project team, including architects, engineers and contractors in a secure, online system, providing increased transparency, consistency and accountability, resulting in fewer delays and lower project costs.
"Applying accountability across project teams has a significant impact on increasing consistency and ensuring that construction administration will not be a factor in creating project delays or other issues," said Patrick Allin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Textura Corporation. "Branco Enterprises has recognized the need to streamline their processes, especially when working on federally funded projects, and we're happy to provide the tools to help them do so."
"Once customized to the project, Submittal Exchange is incredibly simple and easy to navigate. It makes the whole process easier," concluded Foster.
