Utilizing Gate Three, learn how to overcome productivity and interoperability challenges on construction projects.

1. INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY
WITH
INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

2. There are several industry players out there (GE is one, we
are one, Jay Z is definitely one) who believe that they can
be better at business software than the software
companies can be at ‘business’.
Geoff Smith, CEO

3. Gate Three tackles the fundamental obstacle to fact-based decision-making.
Accessibility and availability of quality information, which in the construction
industry is essential to project completion while data integrity critically serves
as legal evidence and protecting companies against claim.
Inefficiencies are evident among countless industries as workflow is contingent
upon interoperability of multiple data sources comprising of core, internally
developed programs; externally developed mobile applications and shrink-
wrapped software. The construction industry compounds its problems with its
reluctant adoption of technology.
However, when used effectively technology can deliver business with
company-wide decision-making capabilities, integrating structured to
unstructured sources of information so it can be harnessed for commercial gain.
WELCOME TO GATE THREE

4. OUR PEDIGREE
Over 60 years of proven success in the
construction industry
Completing CAD 3.4 Billion in
construction value annually
An additional CAD 6.6 Billion in backlog
Financially stable ownership structure
Proudly 50% employee-owned with over
1,800 employees

5. REAL TIME ERP DATA
ANYTIME, ANYWHERE FROM ANY DEVICE
Mobile user access to ERP and other back
office systems has become a core
requirement to operational efficiency and
deepening customer engagement.
Mobile apps have enabled organizational
transformation by accelerating decision
time.
Mobile accessibility can provide a
competitive differentiation.

6. DRIVING DIGITAL DATA
ENTERPRISE MOBILITY
Data needs to be ubiquitous for both
collaboration and fostering decision making.
Example:
 Cloud based applications (SaaS)
 Building Information Systems -(3D)
 Sensor technology (Telematics)
 Social applications

7. QUALITY DATA = QUALITY DECISION
Delivering completed
buildings shall no longer
present the same challenges
of a decade ago when
accessing data was
cumbersome to access from
a collection of bulky binders.
Today clients expect all
information be transferable
as well as encompass the
Building Information Model
(BIM) including ‘as built’
specifications.

8. EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION OPERATION
INTEROPERABILITY
In the US an estimated losses of $15.6 Billion per year are due to lack of
interoperability (NIST 2004).
"Interoperability is more than the automation of current work processes. That is,
more than just doing the same things that are done at present only faster.
Interoperable technologies and applications change work processes and the
relationships among project owners, clients, contractors and subcontractors.” (NRC
2009)
The construction industry has leveraged technological advancements to help
manage the workload. However 60% of the industry’s efforts remain lost to
inefficiencies.

9. CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTIVITY
Widespread use of interoperable technology is
still not easy. We need more effective interfacing
of stakeholders, processes and information.
Diverse stakeholders: Owners, Designers,
Builders, Suppliers, Manufacturers, Trades
Segregated processes: planning, financing, design,
engineering, procurement, construction,
operations, maintenance
Applications and technologies are rarely
integrated across all phases of a project

10. Allow “Best of Breed” software and collaboration tools
where needed, but manage the data end-to-end.
ENHANCING PRODUCTIVITY
Opportunity to capitalize on
Interoperability between, BIM, Facilities
Management and your construction
management system.

12. ENHANCED CONTROL
Gate Three enables control of every document,
dollar and process associated with a project.
All construction documents which may include
(and not limited to) Submissions, RFIs, Change
Orders are tracked and shared for all stakeholders
in accordance to a controlled Access Level.
Project workflows can are easily be configured.
Gate Three controls project budget by automating
commitments, changes and pay approval of POs,
time cards and invoices.

13. ENHANCED CONTROL
Control, customize and
automate workflow (SIs, RFIs,
Submissions, and more)
Improve quality and safety by
automating your QA/ QC
programs (or leverage ours)
Enable teams to collaborate on
critical construction-related
information and documents
Track project milestones and
LEED progress

14. MITIGATE RISK
Construction projects are riddled with
countless potential risks related to scope,
budget, schedule, safety and quality.
Gate Three mitigates risk with integrated
change control workflow; a clear view of
project budget details and key milestones.
Safety and quality are paramount as Gate
Three™ integrates your QA/QC programs with
the rest of your project.
