Staalbouw Utrecht

Staalbouw Utrecht is a 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: “The software package we used before adopting ConstruSteel couldn’t fully meet our requirements. Therefore, choosing ConstruSteel was the logical next step for us. For instance, the calculation module in ConstruSteel is significantly more advanced. Additionally, CE compliance for EN-1090 is integrated directly into the software. Shortly after, we expanded our usage of ConstruSteel by incorporating The Digital Workshop app. This innovative solution has been a tremendous time-saver in our Job preparation and production processes.”

Changes are immediately known in the workshop

At Staalbouw Utrecht, the advantages of digital working drawings and real-time information displayed on tablets are evident in daily operations. “Accessing working drawings and instructions via tablets is convenient, and modifications can be swiftly and easily implemented. This ensures that everyone consistently has the latest and most up-to-date drawings, significantly enhancing the working experience for our colleagues in the workshop and the office. The positive response was immediate! Furthermore, it translates into considerable time and cost savings, as it reduces paperwork substantially. This minimizes disruptions in the workflow, eliminates unnecessary consultations, eradicates the need to search for the right drawings, and prevents costs associated with outdated drawings,” explains Paul van Galen.

ConstruSteel: The key element in the production process

Staalbouw Utrecht uses different modules of ConstruSteel. Paul van Galen is satisfied with ConstruSteel, and also likes to think along with me about how it can be even better. “The consultants and support staff of ConstruSteel always take my comments to heart. I like the idea that we are working with a software supplier that is continuously working on innovations and is always thinking about how it can be even better for steel building and construction companies.”

ConstruSteel has now become a crucial component in the management and production processes of Staalbouw Utrecht. Paul van Galen: “We no longer need Excel, we have put that out the door for good. ConstruSteel is now the common thread in our production process. We can’t and don’t want anything else anymore”.
