How AC Scotland manages 50,000 construction drawings with Trimble ProjectSight

Advance Construction Scotland (AC Scotland), a leading civil engineering and groundworks specialist, transformed its document management by replacing manual Excel-based drawing registers with Trimble ProjectSight.

Managing approximately 50,000 construction drawings annually, the company adopted an AI-enabled construction management platform that automated document control, reduced human error and improved collaboration between office and field teams.

The solution's rapid implementation, intuitive interface and scalable workflows enabled AC Scotland to expand usage across the business while laying the groundwork for RFIs and additional project management processes.

Key Takeaways

• From days to minutes: Uploading a full project of 250 drawings used to take up to two days. With ProjectSight AI-driven workflows, it now takes under 5 to 10 minutes.

• Instant revision tracking: Instead of manually comparing sheets across two screens, the built-in PDF comparison tool overlays revisions and highlights changes in seconds.

• Rapid team adoption: Thanks to an incredibly clean and intuitive interface, a diverse team of 500 end-users—both digitally minded and tech-averse—were able to successfully get on board within just a few minutes.  

• Connected field operations: Site engineers can now view live drawings directly from their mobile phones, tablets or Trimble TSC710 controllers, ensuring everyone works from a single source of truth.
