										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Parking Solution for Displaced Drivers During Construction</h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Property Owners, general contractors, and builders &amp; developers: do you have a property that is undergoing construction &amp; needs a parking solution for all your residents? If so, this case study on ParqEx providing a complete parking solution for displaced drivers during construction is the perfect read for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This massive project had two leading companies: Walsh Construction &amp; Fluor Corporation. Walsh Construction, one of the nation&#8217;s largest general contracting &amp; design-build companies, has been around since 1949 when it was incorporated in Chicago. Fluor Corporation, headquartered in Irving, TX, provides engineering, procurement &amp; construction services worldwide and has been doing so for over 100 years.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-98198"></span></p>
<h2></h2>
<h2><b>The Situation</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Walsh Construction and its joint venture partner Fluor Corporation, operating under the name Walsh-Fluor Design-Build Team, was the general contractor on the CTA&#8217;s Red-Purple modernization project. This project was no small feat! It ran through both the Uptown &amp; Edgewater neighborhoods of Chicago. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Red-Purple Reconstruction project had massive tasks on its hands. It needed first-off to enhance the rail line, drastically improving the efficiency of the CTA&#8217;s service and transit system. But, a big issue arose when the CTA &amp; Walsh-Fluor Design-Build Team recognized that they would be displacing hundreds of neighborhood parking spots during construction. Undoubtedly, the Walsh-Fluor Design-Build Team needed to develop a parking solution that would be convenient for all the neighborhood residents quickly.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>The Solution</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Walsh-Fluor team needed a parking solutions provider that could provide replacement parking to understandably frustrated residents seamlessly. This is where ParqEx joined the team! First, ParqEx sat down with the entire team &amp; got a firm understanding of the project&#8217;s logistics, the affected neighborhoods, and the scope of all the drivers and guests. Next, the ParqEx team needed to propose a solution that would resolve conflict for the entire duration of the construction project. Finally, after understanding all the demands &amp; requirements of the project, getting a firm idea of just how many residents would be displaced, and accounting for an estimate of additional guest parkers in the neighborhood, ParqEx proposed a solution that includes ParqEx&#8217;s proprietary technology, <a href="https://parqex.com/access-plus-app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Access +</a>, <a href="https://parqex.com/guestparq-private-guest-parking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GuestParq</a>, and <a href="https://parqex.com/private-parking-marketplace/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marketplace</a>.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Four parking locations were each set up with ParqEx&#8217;s Marketplace, where drivers could choose from their preferred parking location in the ParqEx mobile app &amp; reserve their spot. Every spot was set for $0, a ParqEx special just for Walsh-Fluor. ParqEx then implemented its GuestParq services, allowing all neighborhood residents to reserve visitor parking just as they would reserve their own on the <a href="https://app.parqex.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ParqEx mobile app</a>.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lastly, ParqEx provided the neighborhood residents with Access+ for the gated property, allowing all renters to access and operate the garage door or gate via the ParqEx Access+ app. This was also made available to approved visitors and guests.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even though ParqEx&#8217;s technology suite is very straightforward and user-friendly, the ParqEx team went the extra mile. It provided a detailed user guide for anyone needing some guidance. This user guide, video tutorial, FAQs, and quick-start guide were all included on a dedicated website specifically for Edgewater &amp; Uptown residents &amp; guests. All these informational tools benefitted all residential parkers, many of whom had never used a parking app before ParqEx!</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>The Result</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The result of ParqEx&#8217;s involvement in this project is easy to recognize. All residents and guests of the Edgewater &amp; Uptown neighborhoods in Chicago gained FREE secure parking during construction. Sure, the situation was not ideal for the residents of Edgewater &amp; Uptown, but the solution was quick and easy. It also saved some residents money as they no longer had to pay for their neighborhood parking during construction.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The overall result is 99.9% entry reliability, more than five thousand secure entries during construction, and $0 cost for all residents and guests. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our project had a unique parking situation that needed to be addressed, affecting hundreds of people in the neighborhoods. The ParqEx team put significant effort into understanding our situation and devised a custom solution to handle all aspects of parking. In addition, they provided adequate training and continued supporting my team when needed throughout the project!&#8221; Marcy O&#8217;Boyle Jensen (Communications Manager, Walsh-Fluor DBT)</span></p></blockquote>

			<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Small builders are facing many challenges. They have to compete with larger companies with a lot of financial power and resources. Even though the number of small builders is increasing, the competition is only getting more complex.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the past, it was a challenge for small builders to compete with established builders. The new technology has changed this scenario. With 3D printing and many other technologies in the construction industry, small builders can now create custom-made houses and buildings.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction software is useful when you have to manage the entire construction process. It helps create a digital blueprint of the building and all the necessary drawings.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These construction tools can help with estimating, scheduling, and planning tasks. The software helps you design and manage a project from start to finish by taking care of details such as site management, cost control, and job costing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is important to note that not all construction software is the same. Some programs have more features than others, while some are more user-friendly than others. It is crucial to find out what kind of features you need before deciding which program you want to use.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With that in mind, if you want to know more about how you can benefit from investing in construction software, even as a small builder, then this article is for you.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-98180"></span></p>
<h2></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">1) Streamlines your processes and operations</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most significant reasons you should be using tools like </span><a href="https://www.bluebeam.com/solutions/design-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">design software for contractors</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for your construction projects is how much it streamlines your operations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction software can help small-scale builders streamline processes, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. This software is best for small builders who have to deal with a lot of paperwork and need to keep track of different projects.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It automates the entire process from estimating, bidding, scheduling, procurement, and management.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can even use other software to automate other aspects of working your construction business outside of your construction projects directly. For example, you can invest in </span><a href="https://parqex.com/builders-developers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">parking management software</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> if your team always finds it difficult to manage parking issues in your office. Gain a valuable asset and earn revenue with </span><a href="https://parqex.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ParqEx</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. That way you can focus your workforce on more intensive things for your projects with the help of construction software.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">2) Saves Valuable Time</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction software can save valuable time for small builders.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can use it to manage the entire project and ensure everything is on schedule. It has become a necessary tool for small builders who are short on time and resources. It is a must-have for small builders looking to compete with larger companies. It would be best if you had it because construction software can help you increase your efficiency and reduce your costs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Again, streamlined processes and operations mean more time to do things that are more meaningful for your business and your life outside of work.</span></p>
<h2></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">3) Project Management</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another way for construction software to aid your projects is by helping you manage them and allowing you to keep track of their progress.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It can provide you with a better understanding of the project and help you manage your resources, materials, and staff.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction software is a comprehensive solution that helps construction companies to plan, track and control projects. It provides a single source of information accessible to all the stakeholders in the company. Therefore, talking to the right playmakers in the project is more accessible.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">4) Easy to Use</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the challenges of incorporating new tools into any workplace is the learning curve that comes with it. However, a lot of construction software knows how tough that can be, so they make it easy to use and intuitive. It can help them avoid mistakes and save time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction software is a tool that helps builders with their work by making it easier and more efficient. This software benefits companies with small teams, which means it’s perfect for small builders. Construction software can save builders time by avoiding mistakes and helping them keep track of construction projects in the long term.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">5) Organizes documents</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Construction software is a type of software that can help small builders organize documents. Contractors can also use it to plan and manage their projects. It can be an excellent tool for small builders looking to start their own businesses. With this tool, they will be able to create a company profile, set up their own business, and generate invoices when they need to get paid for the work that they have done.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It can organize documents and ensure everything is in order, which is very important for a small business like a construction company.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some add-ons even help you access critical documents from anywhere at any time with the help of cloud storage. Therefore, it adds to the convenience of the entire process.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr />
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Understandably, small construction companies and builders are hesitant to take on additional expenses when they don’t need them. However, the presence of construction software can make a huge difference in how fast a project finishes, how efficient your team can be, and how well you can acquire clients. Therefore, consider construction software if you’re considering investing in anything else as a small builder.</span></p>
