BuildRight Construction manages 400+ workers across 12 active project sites in the greater Chicago area. Last year they made the switch from traditional handheld radios to FellowConn. Here's what happened.
The Problem
With workers spread across multiple sites and floors, BuildRight's supervisors were spending significant time relaying messages between teams. Radio channels were congested. Important messages were missed. Safety incidents were occasionally misreported due to communication gaps.
The Solution
BuildRight deployed FellowConn to all 400+ workers in a single afternoon. Each project site got its own channel. Supervisors had a dedicated coordination channel. Safety incidents now get reported instantly to the right people.
- 2.3 hours saved per supervisor per day
- 47% reduction in missed messages
- Safety incident response time cut by 60%
- Eliminated $18,000/year in radio hardware costs
""I wish we had done this years ago. Our teams communicate better, faster, and safer. The ROI was immediate."
