Contractors and Construction Managers

"In our experience, close cooperation among all members of the supply chain is an absolute necessity for success. By bringing Tekla's BIM solution together with Vela Systems field software, Skanska has brought new efficiencies to production management. Vela Systems mobile field software is the vital glue that binds this solution together."

David Campbell, Vice President
Skanska USA Building

"Destiny USA is a model for green construction. We've embraced a paperless process for this job, and Vela Systems is playing a large role in that effort. Not only has Vela Systems been able to substantially reduce the amount of paper we use on site, but it has also significantly sped up project delivery by reducing communication delays between what's happening in the field and what's being managed in the office."

Brian Watson, Project Manager
Cianbro Companies

"Vela's solutions immediately expedited work at Canyon Ranch, leading us not only to use it on our other Miami projects, but to bring the building owners and architects into the system. Taking notes with a pencil and marking up plans in the field, then retyping these and distributing the information to all involved is labor-intensive and causes delays. With Vela Systems, everyone gets the information they need in near real-time, reducing work-hours and costs, while increasing our ability to manage project details for greater work quality."
Brad Meltzer, President
KM-Plaza

"By using Vela Systems software for construction, punch, and owner walkthroughs, CMC compressed the project timeline, improved visibility into quality of the work, and provided a very high level of professionalism during the process. Our customers were very impressed. Vela Systems software saved me 4-8 hours each week.
I would recommend it highly."
Rick Pena, Project Manager
CMC Group, Inc.

"Vela Systems, in sync with Prolog Software, will have huge monetary ramifications at Tocci, with savings in the millions."

John Tocci, CEO
Tocci Building Corporation

"Vela Systems has quickly become one of our most valuable technological tools, along with Timberline® and Primavera®. Its benefits are multifaceted, and they allow our teams to manage projects and service our clients more effectively."

Peter Campot, CEO
William A. Berry & Son, Inc.

"Our early experience with Vela Systems clearly demonstrated that we can save time and money and deliver a higher level of quality by using their mobile field software. For that reason, we have decided to expand our use of Vela Systems to more of our building construction projects across the country."

Robert Neumann, CIO
Suffolk Construction

"With Vela systems, our superintendent could mark the exact location of a work item or issue on a structural drawing with a pushpin and add text, a photograph and audio. Timely, concise information could be readily transferred from the field to the owner, the architect and subcontractors in a manner that could be clearly understood so issues could be quickly resolved. Vela enabled our staff to cut the amount of time it takes to bring an issue to the attention of the responsible parties and get it turned around. The superintendent liked how Vela allowed him to prepare punch lists, work lists and to-do lists without typing. It improved his productivity and increased accuracy by eliminating redundant data input."

Jeff Brown, Project Manager
Hensel Phelps

Architects and Engineers

"The electronic flow of information really streamlines the construction process. However, the real value was the consistency of the entire process. We were able to achieve consistency of reporting that everyone from the owner to the construction manager could understand easily and quickly."

Don Ghent, Principal
Gensler

"With Vela Systems software, we are able to improve the efficiency of the CA process, establish documentation consistency across our many projects and offices, be more responsive to our clients, and reduce our risk profile. It has been a very worthwhile investment."

Sherri Gutierrez, Vice President
Arquitectonica

"I used Vela Systems worklist and punchlist modules and would strongly recommend them. As an architect, accuracy and efficiency are very important to me. Vela helps on both fronts. For example, instead of handwriting my notes and retyping them in the office I could leverage the software for issue creation and then sign off. I saved 4 hours a week in paper 'shuffling' and retyping during the work to complete the punch process. Vela's FileSync technology also saved me trips back to the office - my plans were right there for me on the tablet. Last but not least, Vela's great customer service made me feel like I was working with a partner on the job."

Troy Depieza, Architect
Elkus-Manfredi

Owners and Developers

"We chose Vela to help accelerate the completion of the project while maintaining a worldclass level of quality. Streamlining our processes and completing jobs faster helps us compete in the market."

Justin Murphy, Senior Project Manager
Charleville Development

"By using Vela Systems we were able to automate our due diligence activities and save time during our deal evaluation. It's a new and better way of working."

Justin Murphy, Senior Project Manager
Landmark Residential

"Vela Systems has enabled the New Boston teams to assess inspection progress in real time, generate accurate cost and analytical reports automatically, drive corporate best practices and inspection protocols, and perform due diligence in less time. With Vela's fast-to-learn and easy-to-use software, New Boston has enhanced visibility into the quality-related risks of potential acquisitions, to help prevent overpayment. Vela has changed the game in real estate due diligence."

Mark Runde, Vice President
New Boston Fund, Inc.

"We're able to better manage our punch lists and synchronize our work so we can get through the jobs more effectively and more efficiently," said FECR Senior Vice President Philip C. Dahan. "Opera Tower is about to be home to hundreds of new residents and we are eager to deliver their homes on time and with the best customer service. Vela helps facilitate that for us."

Philip C. Daha, Senior Vice President
Florida East Coast Realty, Inc.
