Doing more in construction with less is not just an advantage—it’s a necessity. Projects are growing in complexity, labor is scarce, and the margin for error continues to shrink. That’s why contractors use purpose-built construction productivity software to streamline operations and improve outcomes.
MSUITE serves MEP contractors and industrial fabricators, offering a cloud-based suite of tools that connects your BIM team, shop operations, and field teams. This helps you deliver prefabricated construction projects faster, safer, and more confidently.
Why Productivity Still Lags in Construction
Despite technological advancements, the construction industry continues to face persistent productivity challenges. Recent data highlights the urgency for transformation:
- Global Output vs. Workforce Constraints: In 2023, the construction sector added $13 trillion to the global economy. This is 7% of the total global output.
- The industry faces a tight labor market for key roles like engineers and project managers. This raises concerns about meeting future demand without significant improvements in productivity. McKinsey & Company
- A 2023 study by FMI showed a change in how the industry sees itself. Only 23% of people said they noticed productivity improvements. This is down from 57% in 2012. This decline underscores the growing concern over efficiency in construction operations.
These findings emphasize the need for integrated solutions to address inefficiencies. Tools like MSUITE’s construction productivity software can help improve workflows. They enhance teamwork and boost productivity in the industry.
What Is MSUITE?
MSUITE is a cloud-based software platform that brings real-time visibility and automation to your prefabrication workflows. It includes:
- MSUITE BIM – A plug-in for Autodesk Revit that automates hanger placement, spool creation, and sheet generation
- MSUITE FAB is a solution for fabrication and field operations. It connects the shop and job site. It offers real-time progress tracking, barcoded spools, and mobile field tools.
- MSUITE Hangers is a strong modeling tool. It places hangers dynamically and adjusts to changes in real time. This works for both simple and multi-tier systems.
This connected platform ensures everyone—from VDC designers to welders to field foremen—can stay aligned with one source of truth, all while giving key decision makers rich data on how to improve production.
Automate BIM Modeling & Hanger Placement for Increasing Construction Productivity
A large portion of construction inefficiency starts in the model. Manual detailing of spools and hangers slows teams down and introduces errors that snowball across the project lifecycle.
MSUITE BIM, paired with MSUITE Hangers, enables faster, smarter modeling:
- Automatically place hangers while routing MEP systems
- Adjust hangers in real time as model changes occur
- Define rules for system-specific hanger spacing and placement
- Support multi-tier trapeze configurations with auto-added beam clamps
This BIM automation reduces modeling time and sets downstream fabrication and field crews up for success.
Fabrication & Field Tracking in One Solution
MSUITE FAB makes the shop and jobsite digital. It tracks spools from when they leave the model to when someone installs them in the field.
Unlike siloed solutions, MSUITE integrates field and shop workflows into one platform:
- Scan and track every spool with barcodes
- Monitor fabrication stages like cutting, welding, and QA
- Assign tasks to specific stations and measure time spent
- Capture field installation progress via mobile or tablet devices
- Track material deliveries and inventory in real-time
Field reporting is part of MSUITE FAB. This means your team does not need many apps to see the full picture. It’s all unified.
Proven Benefits for MEP Contractors & Fabricators
Contractors using MSUITE report:
- Up to 40% faster spool generation times
- 25–30% improvements in shop productivity
- Fewer RFIs and rework because of real-time visibility.
Digital workflows improve quality, reduce errors, and help teams hit aggressive schedules more consistently.
These benefits extend across the office, shop, and field—driving holistic gains in productivity and profitability.
Powering Prefabrication Workflows at Scale
MSUITE is built from the ground up to support prefabrication—a proven strategy for reducing risk and accelerating construction.
Whether you’re managing hundreds of spools or coordinating installation across multiple sites, MSUITE enables:
- Accurate support system layout across entire projects
- Consistent spool generation and sheet creation
- Real-time fabrication and field insights
- Easy coordination between VDC, project managers, and superintendents
Unsurprisingly, MSUITE is the tool for leading contractors delivering data centers, hospitals, manufacturing plants, and large-scale commercial projects.
Best of Breed Ecosystem for Increasing Construction Productivity
MSUITE fits into your existing tech stack. It integrates seamlessly with:
- Autodesk® Revit® design automation
- PypeServer, TigerStop, Vernon, and Kentucky Gauge for CAD-to-machine automation
- Accounting software like QuickBooks and Viewpoint Vista for cost control
- Cloud collaboration tools and file formats, including PCF, CSV, XLSX, PDF, and more
By eliminating data silos and reducing manual entry, MSUITE helps you move faster with less risk.
Real-World Results: MLP Case Study
When Arizona-based BIM consultant MLP implemented MSUITE, they saw measurable results:
- 30% improvement in productivity
- 50% reduction in spool sheet generation time
- Real-time collaboration across BIM, fabrication, and field crews
“MSUITE gave us transparency across the shop and field that we never had before,” said MLP’s VDC Manager. “Now, we’re making faster decisions with real-time data.”
