Mechanical Contractor Finds a Single Source of Truth with WFM

Wearing an orange vest and hardhat with stickers, a project manager with his back to the camera looks out on a project site with mountains in the distance.

The Challenge

Team-Focused Mechanical Contractor Seeks Communication

‍
A full mechanical contractor, Legacy Mechanical provides sheet metal, plumbing and pipefitting services to the Denver, Colo. area, working on complex commercial and industrial projects as well as hospitals and schools. As a mechanical contractor with three separate trades underneath, attention to detail and team building are key to success.

Casey Corbin, Project Manager, Legacy Mechanical says, “We are constantly trying to stay at the forefront of new technologies coming out. If you’re not staying up to date on technology, you’re falling behind in the industry. We’ve implemented LaborChart for that purpose.”

Since 2004, LMI has been dedicated to precision and consistency with a focus on constant improvement. This includes deciding on the best software for their organization. Without a cohesive form of communication, field and office resources found it challenging to share key information in a timely manner and keep tracking of scheduling. Forecasting was another pain point, especially for project managers like Casey Corbin, who oversees many complicated jobs across the organization. Many superintendents resorted to paper tablets or spreadsheets for scheduling, but the lack of a single source of truth was difficult.

Casey Corbin, Project Manager, Legacy Mechanical says, “As we’re using LaborChart, we can have real-time data where everybody can open it up and see on the app or on the computer where we’re at on any given project.”

The Solution

Real-Time Data, Real Teams, Real Results with Workforce Management

‍With the goal of a smooth manpower curve in mind, LMI sought out a cutting-edge approach to managing their workforce while improving team-building at the same time. LaborChart was the answer they were looking for. LMI has seen improvement across the board not only in their data and certification tracking, but also in their practice of workforce management as a whole. Fully integrated with Procore as well as Vista, LMI is able to have visibility into the full scope of their projects, from project management to labor scheduling and everything in between.

Casey Corbin, Project Manager, Legacy Mechanical says, “At Legacy Mechanical, workforce management means a steady manpower curve. We’re trying to flatten out the peaks and valleys of ramping up on a project and trying to plan for the next project — the boom and bust that is naturally part of the construction industry and any trade.”
