PME Inc., one of EllisDon’s subsidiaries, has been committed to innovation and continuous improvement in the industrial construction sector. Recognizing the

industry-wide challenge of declining labor productivity, PME Inc. and EllisDon partnered with Crewscope to implement a new pilot program aimed at

enhancing worker engagement and efficiency.

The construction sector has grappled with a persistent labor shortage in recent years, leading to increased workloads and a decline in overall efficiency. PME

Inc. sought to address this challenge by identifying new methods to motivate and empower its workforce.

Crewscope, a leading productivity platform, was piloted with our crews working on the Capital Line South LRT Sewer relocation project in Edmonton in March

2023. The program focused on providing real-time feedback, establishing clear performance targets, and recognizing achievements with tangible rewards.

The implementation of Crewscope yielded significant improvements across key performance indicators. Based on the data pulled from Crewscope’s

project-specific database, EllisDon saw the following results:

· Enhanced Productivity: Labor productivity increased by approximately 8%, translating to substantial cost savings. The team estimated a total of 846 hours

saved. Based on a $100 fully burdened labour rate, this represents $84,600 in cost savings.

· Improved Schedule Forecasting: Crews achieved 100% accuracy in predicting project targets.

· Elevated Morale: Workers reported increased job satisfaction and a greater sense of ownership. The crew took initiative to follow up on deliveries to avoid

delays and ensure they met their targets.

· Exceptional ROI: The program delivered a tenfold return on investment.

The pilot program's success stemmed from several key factors:

· Empowerment: Crews were equipped with the tools and information necessary to take ownership of their work and make informed decisions.

· Transparency: Real-time feedback and clear targets fostered a sense of accountability and purpose.

· Recognition: The reward incentives motivated workers to meet their schedule milestones. The program issued $8,530 of rewards to the crew that were

redeemed for gift cards through Crewscope.

Following the success of the pilot program, EllisDon has expanded the use of Crewscope to other projects, including the Alberta Legislature Plaza and First

Nations Housing Projects. Both EllisDon and Crewscope are committed to leveraging innovative technologies to drive productivity and enhance overall

performance within the construction industry.
