Look at what our customers are saying about Basepin!
“It’s just a tremendous collaborative tool,” says Andrew Clapham, Vulcan’s senior director of construction. “We’re finding that Basepin is saving us time, and obviously, dollars. The biggest cost savings come in the form of streamlined problem solving. We have been able to ensure that the work we’re doing, we only have to do it once,” Clapham says.

“Tim Luke's CITEBuild and its Basepin MEPS Coordination provide an invaluable service to any construction project. Once launched, Basepin allows the construction team to coordinate some of the most expensive and technical work on a construction project and, in doing so, saves the project substantial time and money. Problems are solved though communications before materials are ordered; RFI's are a thing of the past in the Basepin world saving untold hours and dollars. The best part of the Basepin system is its simplicity: find an issue, log it, the team coordinates a solution and the issue is closed. In addition to the technical side of Basepin and CITEBuild, Tim Luke provides the knowledge and guidance to get any team through the MEPS Coordination process. From years of MEP experience on the contracting side, Tim is able to work side-by-side with and speak the language of designers, developers, contractors and engineers to help the team find the most appropriate solutions to their challenges. I would strongly recommend CITEBuild, Basepin and Tim Luke for MEPS Coordination services on any project.” February 3, 2009

Basepin’s organized, user friendly format enables enhances project coordination among many varying building professionals and provides a comprehensive historic record of decision making throughout the design process so resolutions are tracked accordingly and all parties can see the evolution and rationale of design choices. Basepin also allows a very streamlined process for transitioning into the asset management phase of a development since coordination of documents and happens in real time and teams aren’t scrambling at the end of the project to gather close out documents for the property managers.
Basepin forces teams to engage in an integrated manner, many issues are resolved at the design table and not through costly change orders in the field. Also, since issues are resolved in weekly meeting in real time using on-line meeting software like GoToMeeting, there is a significant reduction in the number of RFIs that generated for a typically project. This cuts down on construction administration costs and allows the design teams to focus their attention on quality control in the field where it should be.
Basepin file manager and on-line meeting links have significantly cut down travel time for team members. This improved style of management has made me a more efficient and more productive project manager and this adds value to my company’s bottom line.
Basepin staff has been extraordinarily helpful in assisting with the transition to this style of project management and understanding the unique features of this software tool. Basepin tutorials are simple and easy to understand from a user standpoint and the knowledgeable staff adds case studies and relevant stories to provide users with a strong background of why this system is important and how it can save your company time and money.

"I’ve found that I can use the basepin issue tracker on any size job to keep an accurate list of problems associated to the construction documents. My associates and I are able to communicate and track these problems without time consuming phone calls or individual emails that need to be stored. The best part is that at anytime I can receive a complete categorized listing of every problem, resolution, and current status that I can forward to my clients for review. And because these issues are tracked with individual numbers that link back to identically tagged blocks in the drawing, anyone can easily find the locations of the problems in the cad drawings we produce."
Mark H. Palmer, Project Manager/President, Cad Piping Services Inc.
I have enjoyed using Basepin on the United Hospital project. I have recommended it on other projects that I am participating in and will continue doing so. This is a great tool to help contractors stay on track and get there issues resolved. It has been great working with Basepin and I can’t wait to use you on the next job.
Brian Muggy, Mechanical CAD Detailer, Midwest Mechanical Contractors, Inc.
We used Basepin for our final punchlists for finished spaces and it saves us lots of time in transmitting notes and comments to the contractor. We only had to enter an item once while we were on site, saving hours of office time translating notes. It was a huge help!

We utilized the Basepin management system for coordination of MEP systems on the United Hospital Center in Bridgeport, WV. This is a great way for coordination team to organize and track issues, particularly for a large hospital project. Also, Basepin is a good tool to help the detailers remain accountable to each other, and for the manager to track progress and maintain the sign off schedule. I would highly recommend that projects with complex MEP systems use the Basepin management system.
