A Plannerly Customer Case Study
5x Growth & 60% Faster Workflows
Find Out How reiSource Scaled Their VDC with Plannerly
From five tools to one platform.
A behind-the-scenes look at how this high-performing VDC team replaced fragmented tools, unified their workflows, and scaled faster with Plannerly.
Meet: reiSource
reiSource is a U.S.-based Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) consultancy that supports a range of general contractors, subcontractors, and owners in delivering high-quality, model-based workflows. With a commitment to proactive coordination and consistent delivery, the team leverages cutting-edge technology to reduce rework, improve handovers, and scale digital construction.
Christopher Allen
Senior VDC Engineer
With 15+ years of experience across architecture, surveying, and digital construction, Christopher brings serious know-how and just the right amount of nerdy excitement to every BIM/VDC challenge.
As Technologies Manager at reiSource, he’s the guy who connects the dots between high-end design, laser scanning, and actual buildable results. From photogrammetry to Python, Chris makes construction smarter—one scan, spec, and coordination session at a time.
Jonathan Griffiths
Senior VDC Engineer
With a Master’s in Architecture from UBC and years in the trenches as an architect, Jonathan now leads digital construction at reiSource – bridging the gap between design intent and site reality. He’s spent nearly a decade transforming complex builds into coordinated, clash-free masterpieces using BIM and fabrication workflows.
When he’s not wrangling models or streamlining site coordination, you’ll find him championing smarter, more collaborative ways to build. Expect sharp insights, a calm voice of reason, and maybe even a tip or two on how not to lose your mind in coordination meetings.
THE CHALLENGE
As their team and project load grew, reiSource faced increasing pressure to standardize how they planned, tracked, and delivered coordinated models. They were juggling five disconnected tools, tracking scope in spreadsheets, and losing time trying to verify model data manually—leading to inconsistencies, delays, and frustration across teams.
Before Plannerly, reiSource struggled with:
- Disconnected tools creating duplicate work and wasted time
- Inconsistent VDC expectations across teams and projects
- Unclear accountability and version control in documentation
- Reactive workflows that made coordination harder to manage at scale
THE IMPACT
Plannerly became the hub for reiSource’s VDC process—consolidating tools, aligning internal and external teams, and enabling consistent handovers. Instead of chasing down decisions or formatting docs from scratch, teams now rely on structured templates, dashboards, and automatic model checks to stay on track.
“What we used to do with five tools, we now do with one—and with more consistency.”
Christopher Allen, Co-founder, reiSource
Remarkable Results
Scope & Document Prep Time Cut by 75%
By centralizing workflows in Plannerly, reiSource reduced scope formatting from 8 hours to just 2.
“That’s a 75% time savings just on that task alone.”
Jonathan Griffiths
60% More Operational Efficiency
Model verification and scope tracking became structured, automated, and repeatable.
“Plannerly cut the time we spent tracking scope and verifying models by 60%.”
Jonathan Griffiths
5x Growth Without Chaos
With standard templates, dashboards, and automated checks, reiSource grew from 3 to 15 people—without compromising delivery quality.
“We’re not reinventing the wheel each time. It’s scalable and structured.”
