The Challenge: Compliance Visibility Across a Multi-Project Portfolio
Hunter Roberts, a national heavy highway and civil construction contractor, managed dozens of projects simultaneously across multiple states. Each project had its own safety team, its own workflows, and its own definition of "compliance." Executive leadership struggled to answer a basic question: which projects were truly compliant, and which ones were at risk?
Paper-based documentation and siloed project systems made portfolio-wide compliance audits nearly impossible. Delays went undetected until they became critical.
The Solution: Unified Compliance Intelligence Across the Portfolio
Hunter Roberts implemented BiltOn to create a single source of truth for safety and compliance data across all active projects. Every project's pre-shift plan completion, orientation status, credential verification, and observation close-out time rolled up into a portfolio-wide executive dashboard.
For the first time, safety leadership could see which projects were lagging and intervene before compliance became a problem.
The Results: Better Compliance, Faster Issue Resolution
Within six months:
- Pre-shift plan completion rates increased from 67% to 98% across the portfolio
- Observation close-out time (TTR) dropped from 9 days to 4.2 days on average
- Compliance audits went from quarterly to real-time
- Executive leadership had visibility into which subcontractors and projects needed additional support
One particular project had a pattern of incomplete pre-shifts that BiltOn's dashboards flagged in real time. Safety leadership was able to identify the root cause (new crew rotation) and provide targeted retraining before an incident occurred.
Key Learnings: Real-Time Compliance as a Competitive Advantage
For Hunter Roberts, the shift from reactive compliance audits to real-time compliance intelligence changed how they compete:
1. Risk Visibility: Portfolio-wide dashboards show exactly which projects are at risk and which ones are performing well.
2. Faster Interventions: Instead of quarterly audits, leadership can see compliance gaps in real time and provide support to struggling projects.
3. Carrier Recognition: Insurance carriers increasingly reward contractors who can present verified, real-time compliance data. Hunter Roberts' proactive approach translated into more favorable renewal terms and potential for premium reductions.
“The difference between knowing you're compliant and being able to prove it in real time is everything. BiltOn gave us that proof.
