“I've tried several other tools before, but nothing has come close to this.”
Efficiency, control and professional deliveries
As an architectural and contracting company, Arkikad AS handles projects from concept to completion. Everyday life consists of everything from design and building applications to follow-up on the construction site. For general manager Stig Bjørnar Gundersen, it was crucial to find a tool that could provide better overview and reduce the time spent on calculations and project management without compromising quality.
With build my calc and my project, Arkikad has found just that.
“build's solutions, mycalc and myproject, have taken both calculation and project management to a new level for us. Now I can deliver serious, well-specified offers that customers give a lot of praise for and I have much better control over the projects along the way.” – Stig Bjørnar Gundersen, Managing Director, Arkikad AS
About Arkikad AS
Arkikad AS delivers a wide range of services within architecture, building applications, project management and contracting work. With experienced professionals and interdisciplinary expertise, they follow projects from planning to completion. Everyday life is busy and the tasks are many, from creating designs and managing construction projects to keeping track of finances, time spent and quality.
The challenge – Too much time spent in manual processes
Like many others in the industry, Arkikad previously used different systems and manual tools for calculation and follow-up. This led to a lot of duplication of work, little interaction between the office and the construction site, and challenges in keeping all project data up to date.
“I've tried several other tools before, but nothing has come close to this.” – Stig Bjørnar Gundersen
my calc and my project in interaction
By using both build my calc for calculation and my project for project management, Arkikad gained a comprehensive system for the entire value chain, from quotation basis to completed project.
With my calc , Stig and his team can create detailed quotes in record time. The price bank and templates make it easy to calculate costs accurately and professionally.
At the same time, my project provides a full overview of progress, checklists, deviations and documentation, both in the office and on the construction site.
“I save about 60% of the time I previously spent on calculations and follow-up on the construction site, while at the same time increasing quality.” – Stig Bjørnar Gundersen
The result: Faster, better and more professional
The results were immediate. Arkikad now experiences a much more efficient workflow, better documentation, and satisfied customers who notice the quality of the offerings.
“I can now deliver serious, well-specified offers that my customers praise a lot, and I have much better control over the projects along the way.” – Stig Bjørnar Gundersen.
Stig specifically highlights three reasons why build has been a success:
“There are three things that make the system so good:
Support and service are absolutely tremendous, it is easy to get help. The system is feature-rich and very user-friendly. I save both time and money, and the work becomes more professional.” – Stig Bjørnar Gundersen
Everyday life today: Full control from office to construction site
With the build solutions, Stig and the team have gained better structure at all levels.
Calculations , progress plans and documentation are stored in the cloud and can be retrieved on both PC and mobile, regardless of where they are located.
This provides security and predictability in the projects, and ensures that Arkikad can spend more time on what they do best: creating good buildings and satisfied customers.
“I would actually say that this is the most complete and user-friendly system on the market today.” – Stig Bjørnar Gundersen.
