LONDON, May 28 /PRNewswire/ --
- Contractor Extends Technology Partnership Established in 2001
New build, refurbishment and fit-out contractor Interior Services Group
plc (ISG) has signed a new three-year corporate deal with BIW Technologies
(BIW) to use its Software-as-a-Service construction collaboration platform.
ISG operates in the UK, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and first used
the BIW system on a multi-million pound project for a City of London law firm
in 2001, signing its first corporate deal with BIW in November that year.
ISG is currently using the BIW platform to support over 200 project-based
staff on more than 20 projects. These range from the fit-out of the new
Eurostar terminal at St Pancras International Station for London &
Continental Railways to a GBP100m new build development in the Spitalfields
area of the City of London.
Previous ISG projects undertaken with BIW include the refurbishment of
the Brunswick retail and commercial centre in Bloomsbury for Allied London
Properties, the GBP32m revamp of Doncaster Racecourse for Arena Leisure, and
the Norton Rose fit-out at 3 More London Riverside.
"Our strategy has been to integrate the communication power of web-based
technologies into our customer service," says ISG director Chris Bock. "As
managers of the construction process, we look to simplify project complexity
for property owners, occupiers and developers, and BIW is the ideal platform
to support this."
"We are happy with the level of service and functionality BIW delivers,"
adds ISG's quality systems manager Adrienne Matheson. "Feedback from users is
highly positive, with many project and financial managers now dependent on it
for the successful running of their projects due to its immediacy,
accessibility and audit trail of documents and processes such as RFIs,
instructions and change orders. We continue to increase BIW use among our
projects."
ISG's estimators use the BIW platform to distribute information to
sub-contractors when the company is bidding for new work. ISG has also worked
with developer clients, tailoring BIW's security options to make some project
information available to potential tenants.
