The Chandos Canmore project was two months behind schedule, incurring $500 per day in damages. They were using a paper-based system for pull planning, which was time-consuming and inefficient.
Canadian-based Chandos decided to try Hoylu for Construction, a cloud-based pull planning tool. Hoylu is simple to use and it can be accessed from anywhere. This made it ideal for Chandos, which has a workforce that is spread out across multiple locations.
After two pull planning sessions in Hoylu, the Godland project is back on schedule.

Construction projects are complex and demanding. They typically involve a large number of people and organizations, each with their own unique goals and objectives.

One of the tools that Chandos uses is Hoylu for Construction. Hoylu is cloud-based pull planning software that has helped Chandos:
When Chandos General Superintendent John Kyle realized one of his projects was falling behind schedule, he brought in Hoylu. The project is a 2-building condo development in Canmore, Alberta. Delays, including team transitions, weather, and a complex scope of work, set the team behind.
“It was a huge amount of detail and to phase it correctly to be the most efficient, we really had to work out a lot of details.
“The collaboration that Hoylu offers really allows us to maximize the flow of work, maximize production from every trade, and get back on track. The end result is a clear road map that everyone can look at, agree to, and be accountable.”
—John Kyle | Superintendent | Chandos
Within three weeks of using Hoylu, the team was able to regain two months on the schedule by reorganizing, sitting down with trades, and effectively pull planning.
