Ambitious student housing keeps project under control with RIB Project

"We only want to manage drawings digitally"

When the project manager from KPC started up the Nordbro project, he had no doubt that all drawings would be managed digitally.

"Administrative handling of printed drawings is very time-consuming and it is often associated with a high risk of error. I can't be sure if I have the latest drawing in my hand, which increases the risk. Therefore, we prefer to have all drawings available digitally in RIB Project. It's much easier to handle all drawings on one platform, ensuring that all parties have access to the latest versions. We only use printed copies for large overview drawings, which are utilized in the site office," says Mickael Gabriel Andersen, Project Manager at KPC.

An hour for registrations that used to take a whole day

The requirements for QA, supervision, safety, and the working environment have significantly increased. "We introduced RIB Capture to our subcontractors to provide better oversight and documentation of their QA for on-site work. Although setting up the lists for each company takes time initially, it ultimately frees up resources and reduces administrative work for everyone. For example, we now spend just one hour on registrations that used to take an entire day. Once the registrations are complete, they are synchronized with the site office. All documentation is consolidated with photos, registrations, and marked plans, allowing you to follow all checks at any time. This ensures a well-organized project," says Mickael Gabriel Andersen.

Digital management of the project creates value for all parties

KPC, one of Denmark's leading general contractors and project developers, is growing rapidly and generating great results, thanks to the fact that the company operates without major, costly errors on projects.

"The fact that we are in control of our projects has carried our development. If we can avoid mistakes, we will see progress on the bottom line," says Bo Knudsen, CEO of KPC. "Digital management of large and complex construction projects, in a system that is familiar to our partners, is one of the crucial parameters for achieving a smooth construction process and thus creating value for all parties involved," concludes Bo Knudsen.
