SL Yhtiöt

SL Yhtiöt, a real estate investment and development group, chose Builderhead to manage its development projects and owned property portfolio. Builderhead brings projects, documents, and properties into one system, making up-to-date information easily accessible across the organization.

Before implementing Builderhead, project documents and other important information were scattered across network drives, emails, and several separate project bank services. This became especially challenging in long zoning and development projects.

“Previously, important information was often scattered across network drives, emails, and various systems. In the worst cases, some of the information was only held by individual people, and finding it could take a lot of unnecessary time.”

An easy-to-use solution for property owners and developers

SL Yhtiöt approached Builderhead with a clear need. The goal was not simply to find a new document management solution for construction projects, but a comprehensive tool for managing the entire owned property portfolio.

The implementation process was straightforward. After the agreement was signed, a kick-off meeting was held, and the system was put into use immediately. The most significant task was finalizing SL Yhtiöt’s own internal process, with support from Builderhead.

“I believe I already said in the introductory meeting that we intended to use Builderhead more broadly than just for project management. We needed a practical tool for managing our owned property portfolio as well.”

All properties and projects in one place

Builderhead’s Properties feature directly addressed SL Yhtiöt’s needs. All projects related to an individual property can now be gathered under that property, including past, ongoing, and future renovation and refurbishment projects.

The key benefit is the availability of information across the organization. Once information has been added to Builderhead, it is available to everyone in an up-to-date format. In addition, the Builderhead also works on mobile, allowing plans and project information to be reviewed outside the office when needed.

“Each of us can now easily access up-to-date information about different projects in Builderhead. The information is no longer only in the project manager’s head or email.”

Collaboration with Builderhead has worked well. When SL Yhtiöt has raised development needs, the required feature has often already been under development or recently released.

“I can warmly recommend Builderhead to property owners, developers, and everyone involved in real estate development projects.”
