Case Studies

OneTrack

Our client is one of the foremost experts on construction law, he has written books comparing construction law practice worldwide. His vision is to create a solution to ensure his large construction clients stay out of court and off the front page of newspapers (for the wrong reasons).

Problem: Large construction projects involve a huge array of stakeholders including 10 to 30 subcontractors. Each one has their own contract, with its own rules and criteria.

When an event occurs, something as mundane as a rainy day, this can mean each and every contractor gets an extension of time, but each contract stipulates a different time. It means that all the project plans, timeframes and costings need to be adjusted.

At the moment the primary supplier does not have a clear picture on which contracts are affected, which contractors are entitled to an extension, what the costs and timeframe changes are required to account for these. In fact as they work in different locations they may not be aware it was raining until the first claim is made, assuming the contractor remembers to claim. This is how big projects blow out and make headlines.

Solution: Redgum have been working with OneTrack to build a platform that brings all parties together on a single platform to collectively manage each project.

Redgum have translated the detailed concepts and workflows into a software solution that can adapt to the constraints of each contract in each scenario catered for in construction contracts worldwide.

RCAT is a remarkable platform and a prime example of translating highly complex and dense domain knowledge, the laws and regulations around Australia and distilling them down into easily accessed, digestible and actionable knowledge.

Problem: Most organisations, government departments and NGOs are blissfully unaware of the regulatory and legal risks they face utilizing their software systems. The first time most find out they are contravening a law is when they appear on the front page of a newspaper or get a court summons.

Solution: Redgum worked with the client’s domain experts to build a platform provides a simple set of Yes/No questions for the head of each department. The result is a clear and actionable report showing governance leads where to focus the risk mitigation efforts.

AtPace have spent many years proving and perfecting a series of processes and a discipline that enables large scale organisations to plan, manage and coordinate their workforce across their project portfolios.

Problem: Organisations have thousands of staff spread across hundreds of projects and no clear idea of who is assigned to what over the next 2 years.

Solution: Redgum have been helping AtPace translate their spreadsheet model into a software platform that enables project coordination teams and project managers to forward plan, request and allocate resources and then progressively adapt, reassessing needs, allocations and locking in a short-term window while enabling the long-term plan to remain agile as time progresses.
