ClearTech Engineered Solutions<\/a> in Dublin wins 50% more jobs with enhanced estimation efficiency, as traditional operations give way to technology-driven and environmentally sustainable models<\/h2>\n

CEO Feargal Cleary started ClearTech Engineered Solutions in Dublin, Ireland, in 2010, during a major industry downturn.<\/p>\n

Cleary knew that the traditional operations and models in design and construction would soon give way to technology-driven<\/a> and environmentally sustainable models that would require leaner operations.<\/p>\n

While large companies cut budgets to steady their businesses, Cleary aimed to build something more flexible \u2013 the first concrete post-tensioning service in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Post-tensioning is the process of casting concrete with steel cables in ducts, then tensioning the cables to compress the cured concrete. The resulting slab has the compressed strength of concrete and the tensile strength of steel.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, what we do is we reduce the concrete depth, reduce the reinforcement, and this gives the client a sustainable solution over the lifetime of their building,\u201d Cleary said.<\/p>\n

ClearTech\u2019s post-tensioning process has benefits for the environment and the company\u2019s balance sheet \u2014 it uses less concrete and earns tax incentives and rebates by lowering environmental impact.<\/p>\n

With a decade of delivering major projects, ClearTech remains a niche contracting business, with just 20 full-time employees.<\/p>\n

ClearTech\u2019s team attracts many clients, thanks to its lean approach, which became possible when it implemented Bluebeam Revu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Digitalising estimation<\/h3>\n

In 2018, ClearTech\u2019s reputation led to more tender estimation requests than ever. Everyone was using PDFs for releasing design information, but there was no easy way to quantify material measurements digitally.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the ClearTech team was still using A3 and A1 prints, often losing half a day waiting for designs from the printers, only to spend hours marking and measuring drawings by hand. This time-intensive process was also prone to errors, resulting in inaccurate estimations and rework. ClearTech needed to speed up its estimation process.<\/p>\n

The team at Powergreen Software<\/a> introduced ClearTech to Bluebeam Revu and trained the team on doing digital estimations with its automatic measurements and exportable metadata.<\/p>\n

The results were immediate \u2013 the printing budget was cut by two-thirds, saving thousands of euros. And since proposals weren\u2019t trapped in administration, there was more time to look at new projects.<\/p>\n

ClearTech then started using Revu elsewhere. Now, everything happens in Revu at ClearTech before going on a jobsite.<\/p>\n

Because Revu is at the centre of ClearTech\u2019s data operations, it\u2019s also used for the company\u2019s QA\/QC processes \u2014 partially for its own record-keeping but also in fulfilment of the Building Control Amendment Regulations (BCAR), which require tracking materials used in building and renovations.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the advantage of better communication. \u201cThe other companies that we work with, they use Bluebeam<\/a> as well,\u201d said Thiago Tamm, a ClearTech structural engineer.<\/p>\n

Cutting waste, saving money, winning business<\/h3>\n

Since ClearTech implemented Revu, it has cut waste, improved record-keeping and communication and increased transparency.<\/p>\n

ClearTech has also won an additional 50% of projects and has gone on to complete work for clients such as Salesforce, Facebook and Amazon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to be a leading light in the industry,\u201d Cleary said, \u201cand we’re pushing the likes of Bluebeam to demonstrate there is an opportunity for innovation in the industry here in Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n
