Trophy – the victorious CORE Sytems team at the 2022 Tees Tech Awards .
FEATURE
in its infancy in terms of the age of the business , is one of the most digitally mature construction companies currently operating .
This maturity has led to the company achieving the highest accreditations and certifications . Most notable of these is the ISO9001 , passing the RISQS audit and gaining Elite CHAS accreditation – the latter being one of the most prestigious awards in construction .
Since adopting CORE , WOODSmith is delivering projects approximately 11 per cent faster and at seven per cent less cost .
The additional costs and delays potentially avoided due to improved risk management as a result of adopting CORE are unquantifiable , but are undoubtedly significant .
Gary Wood says : “ It ’ s thanks to our digital approach that we ’ ve been able to achieve this level of success . We ’ re very proud of our team ’ s achievements so far and look forward to continuing to expand our projects into the future .”
WOODSmith ’ s determination to be one step ahead of its competitors has been rewarded with a first-year annual turnover that comfortably exceeded an initial target of £ 500,000 . The company has recorded a £ 1.8m turnover and is on track for a £ 7m turnover for 2023 .
Gary adds : “ It ’ s been an entire team effort and the CORE System allows for effortless collaboration across the full
team , resulting in efficient completion of projects and our great work being recognised by clients , many of which become repeat clients .”
WOODSmith is currently working on expansive residential projects across the North-East and North Yorkshire . It ’ s not just focusing on residential work , however – it recently won impressive tender successes from clients including British Steel , Anglo American and Middlesbrough Railway Station .
The eye-catching successes continue to rack up for CORE as well . It won the Best Innovation Award at the 2022 Tees Tech Awards and it was that prize which recognised its impact on the industry , with WOODSmith being the case study that enabled the firm to demonstrate the system ’ s success .
Paul says : “ We ’ ve created a single source of truth , and it ’ s unique and exciting . The push now is to continue growing our client base .
“ All construction companies can benefit from technology , which can make the construction process safer , more efficient and more environmentally friendly .
“ WOODSmith has also adopted our new 3D scanning service , which is integrated with CORE , and the results are impressive .
“ CORE has provided WOODSmith with absolute control , informing decisions , driving contractual compliance and agreement and increasing productivity , delivery and efficiency .
“ It ’ s been a real pleasure to work with such a progressive , collaborative and innovative company .”
Paul and Gary ’ s collaborative efforts have seen both companies go from strength-to-strength , and they are reaping the rewards of pulling construction into the digital age .
While others may struggle to keep up with the new digital age of construction , WOODSmith and CORE Systems are paving the way for others to follow .
