Embracing digital transformation at Blue Sky Building

Blue Sky Building adopted SymTerra on the UK House Project in London's West End, a meticulous restoration and modernisation of a Grade II listed building requiring precise coordination of resources, personnel, and information.

The construction teams at Blue Sky Building use SymTerra because it provides an excellent way to report and communicate on site. They can log progress and raise issues such as Health and Safety, programme, commercial, environmental, and document with pictures or video. The management team like SymTerra because it frees up project staff and gets boots on the ground rather than being in the site office completing daily paper work.

The project

The UK House Project in London's West End required meticulous restoration and modernisation of a Grade II listed building. The project's complex nature necessitated precise coordination of resources, personnel, and information.

Blue Sky Building adopted SymTerra as their digital communication tool, documenting the full project life cycle from preconstruction through to construction management and project management.

Meet George

George Palmer, Site Manager at Blue Sky Building, has decades of construction experience but was initially reluctant to adopt SymTerra after several digital tools had already been tried.

As George began using SymTerra, his initial hesitation gave way to increased engagement. He found the app straightforward and the user interface easy to use, which simplified his record-keeping and enhanced real-time communication with the office.
