Enhancing Commercial Defensibility and Efficiency

P1 Contractors, a leading landscape construction and maintenance company based in Edinburgh, Scotland, has always sought innovative ways to stay ahead in their industry.

Serving a wide array of public sector clients across Scotland and northern England since 1977, the firm has developed a strong portfolio of services, within the landscape construction & maintenance sector. To keep pace with the modern demands of project management and efficient documentation, P1 Contractors adopted SymTerra.

“We have been looking for platform for some years now to try and digitise our business and get accurate information from site to the office in real time. The other platforms we looked at either didn’t fit with what we do or were that expensive we couldn’t justify the costs. SymTerra has been fantastic for us a business and the flow of information from site to office has improved tenfold. Having all the information in one place for each contract is already proving invaluable and allowing us to record our work is compliant with ease.”

The challenge

Managing multiple projects concurrently across various locations presented P1 Contractors with a crucial challenge. Thorough and timely documentation in real-time is indispensable and traditional methods of documentation, often paper-based and time-consuming, were falling short of the growing needs of the company.

The introduction of SymTerra marked a significant milestone for P1 Contractors. The user-friendly interface and features allowed the teams to document their projects in a more efficient and comprehensive manner. This, in turn, strengthened their projects commercial defensibility.

Emphasising the quick adoption by teams, P1 Contractors noted an immediate increase in the speed and efficiency of evidencing their works. With SymTerra, teams could quickly capture and record all necessary details of their projects, providing a robust and accessible work records.

“With previous systems, we took photos on one platform and allocated the activity to the engineer on another for comments from site. We would then have to merge the data on to a word document copying text and adding photos to share with the client or other teams. This was time consuming and meant we'd have to limit or loose data, photos or miss information. With SymTerra, all info/photos are in one place to view/document making data sharing simple without having to transfer from multiple systems.”
