"Morta has helped us with our checking and reporting, pulling together dashboards and giving us proper optics on what we’re doing. It’s no longer subjective—it’s the truth as to where we are."
- Glenn McCaffrey, Digital Construction Director @ McLaughlin & Harvey
The results
• Increased Transparency: Integration with tools like Power BI and Solibri provided a clear, objective view of project data and progress. • Improved Efficiency: Automation of data validation and reporting significantly reduced manual effort and errors. • Enhanced Collaboration: A unified platform enabled better coordination between supply chain partners. • Alignment with Standards: Processes were aligned with ISO 19650, ensuring compliance with digital deliverable requirements.
The problem
• Legacy Processes: Transitioning from siloed, traditional methods to a standardised workflow was challenging. • Skill Development: Upskilling staff to handle new types of information, including 3D geometry and alphanumerical data, was necessary to meet modern standards. • Client Expectations: Increasing demands for digital deliverables such as COBie data and record issue models required a more robust system. • Consistency Across Projects: Ensuring uniform standards and workflows across diverse projects was a major challenge.
The solution
• Standardization Through Morta: Developed information management templates—including BIM execution plans, exchange information requirements, and production methods—that were rolled out across all projects. • Streamlined Information Delivery Planning: Automated the TIDP and MIDP processes to aggregate data from supply chain partners into a centralised platform for real-time tracking and reporting. • Real-Time Dashboards: Built dashboards using Morta and Power BI to visualise project progress, track compliance, and identify bottlenecks. • Live Data Reporting for Asset Registers: Enabled dynamic management of asset registers, allowing subcontractors to directly populate data and reduce manual reconciliation errors. • COBie Compliance Checks: Leveraged Morta alongside Solibri to validate asset data, ensuring adherence to COBie standards and project requirements.
The implementation
McLaughlin & Harvey implemented these solutions by integrating standardised templates into Morta across all projects. They automated data validation and reporting, built real-time dashboards, and enabled live data updates to provide objective insights into project performance. Moving forward, the team plans to expand Morta’s use for additional workflows to capture more comprehensive project data and further enhance decision-making.
