# Swinerton Uses PLOT on San Diego Project

PLOT published a case study on Swinerton’s use of its construction procurement software for San Diego State University’s Evolve student housing project in San Diego. The case reports estimated savings of 14–16 staff hours per week for a three-person team by coordinating procurement, submittals, deliveries, and schedule information in a shared workflow; these are company-published estimates, not independently verified results. The case study does not announce a solicitation, contract award, or funding opportunity.

- Construction teams at public universities and their contractors can assess whether shared procurement and schedule workflows address coordination issues on their own projects.
- Companies evaluating the software should treat the reported time savings as a case-study estimate and compare it with their own team’s baseline and workflow needs.
- Swinerton’s and subcontractor A.O. Reed & Co.’s comments highlight schedule visibility and subcontractor collaboration as practical considerations when evaluating construction procurement tools.

### Key Quotes
> PLOT gave us the visibility we needed without the complexity that slows adoption. It also provided a hub that encouraged subcontractor collaboration.
> — Monika Iannone, Project Executive at Swinerton

> I like it mostly because it allows you guys to update the schedule directly and more often, rather than me waiting for a monthly schedule update and then having to extract the info I need to update my big ugly Excel spreadsheet that just tries to do the same thing as PLOT.
> — Wes Hills, Project Manager at A.O. Reed & Co.
