Staalbouw Utrecht

Staalbouw Utrecht is a steel construction company that undertakes a wide range of projects, spanning from large-scale steel constructions to more intricate work, including steel frames and stairs incorporating materials like wood or glass. Founded in 2014 by Paul van Galen, the company now boasts a core team of 7 permanent employees with the flexibility to expand as needed. Prior to implementing ConstruSteel, the company had been using another software package, but it became apparent that this software wasn’t fully aligned with the specific needs of Staalbouw Utrecht’s steel construction processes. As a result, director Paul van Galen made the decision to transition to ConstruSteel, a specialized software package tailored to the steel construction industry.

Paul van Galen explains, “The previous software we utilized failed to fully satisfy our requirements, making the transition to ConstruSteel the logical choice for us. Notably, ConstruSteel offers a far superior calculation functionality and seamlessly integrates CE compliance for EN-1090 directly into the system. Subsequently, we enhanced our utilization of ConstruSteel by integrating The Digital Workshop app. This innovative tool has proven to be a significant time-saving asset in our job preparation and production workflows.”

Workshop personnel are promptly informed of any changes

At Staalbouw Utrecht, the benefits of utilizing digital working drawings and accessing real-time information via tablets are readily apparent in daily operations. Paul van Galen elaborates, “Accessing drawings and instructions on tablets is not only convenient but also allows for quick and seamless modifications. This ensures that all team members consistently have access to the latest drawings, greatly enhancing the working experience for both workshop and office colleagues. The immediate positive feedback was remarkable! Additionally, this approach translates into significant time and cost savings by substantially reducing paperwork, minimizing workflow disruptions, eliminating unnecessary consultations, streamlining the search for relevant drawings, and preventing expenses associated with outdated documentation.”

ConstruSteel: the cornerstone of the production process

Staalbouw Utrecht uses different functionalities of ConstruSteel. Paul van Galen is satisfied with what ConstruSteel offers: “the consultants and support team at ConstruSteel consistently listen to my feedback. I appreciate collaborating with a software provider committed to ongoing innovation and enhancing its solutions.”

ConstruSteel has emerged as an indispensable element in the operational and production workflows of Staalbouw Utrecht. According to Paul van Galen, “Excel is a thing of the past for us. ConstruSteel has seamlessly integrated into our production process, becoming the backbone. We have no desire to revert to anything else.”
