Congratulations to Procore’s client Finton Associates for their recent recognition in the Los Angeles Times (June 12, 2008).
The LA Times story outlines how Finton Associates is able to keep busy building multiple 20,000 square foot plus custom homes, even in a down market that is making it tough for many U.S. home builders to get by. In fact, Finton Associates President John Finton notes that business at the top-end is not letting up at all:
“Builder John Finton, who is overseeing construction of the 32,000 square-foot house on Sunset Boulevard for businessman C. Frederick Wehba Sr. and his wife, Susan, said he knows of at least 20 20,000-plus square-foot homes under construction or about to break ground in what he called the “platinum triangle” of wealthy areas in Los Angeles County: Beverly Hills, Bel-Air and Holmby Hills.”
Finton Associates is a long-time user of Procore, having brought its first projects onto the system in 2004. Now the company uses Procore on large custom home projects (including the Wehba Residence mentioned in the article) in both the United States and Mexico, and has standardized its operations around using Procore’s construction software for the information flow associated with building mega-mansions.
Finton Associates takes advantages of many of Procore’s features. Daily logs and communications for multiple jobs are all tracked through Procore’s construction project management software, and the document archive functionality of Procore has made it possible for Finton Associates to retrieve vital emails and RFIs on jobs where historical information was needed.
Procore’s ability to store and share digital photos makes it easier for Finton Associates to update home owners on job progress, particularly when the job site is in a location that is remote from members of the project team. Several of Finton Associates’ clients are having homes built in the Loreto Bay development in Mexico, and Procore usage is particularly important on those jobs.
