Skyline Construction Reduces Punch Items by 25%
How a 40-person high-rise construction company unified project management and accounting into one platform — and delivered cleaner builds with fewer defects.
The Challenge
Skyline Construction built mid-rise residential and mixed-use buildings with projects ranging from $10M to $50M. Procore managed project schedules, RFIs, and submittals while Sage handled job costing, payroll, and accounting. Quality issues showed up at the punch list stage because inspections weren't tied to schedule milestones.
Superintendents documented quality issues in Procore, but the data never informed cost tracking in Sage. Rework costs were buried in general line items. The company couldn't trace which subcontractors or building phases generated the most defects, making it impossible to improve quality systematically.
- Quality inspections disconnected from project schedule
- Rework costs hidden in general job cost categories
- No way to track defects by subcontractor or phase
- Punch lists averaging 150+ items per project
The Solution
Skyline Construction migrated to Dewx over five weeks, connecting quality management directly to project schedules and cost tracking.
CX Hub — Quality Workflows
Phase-based inspection checklists triggered by schedule milestones with photo documentation and defect tracking.
OPS Hub — Job Cost Tracking
Rework costs tracked separately by trade and building phase with automated alerts when costs exceed thresholds.
Portal — Sub Coordination
Subcontractor portal for RFIs, submittals, defect notifications, and schedule updates.
Dew AI — Quality Insights
AI-analyzed defect patterns that identify recurring issues by trade, phase, and building section.

Tools consolidated into Dewx
Timeline
Migrated active projects from Procore with schedules, RFIs, and submittals.
Connected Sage job costing data to OPS Hub with rework cost separation by trade.
Launched phase-based inspection workflows and subcontractor coordination portal.
Punch lists reduced 25%; rework costs down 40% through early defect detection.
“We used to accept 150-item punch lists as normal. Now our supers catch issues during construction — not at the end. Punch lists are down 25%, rework costs dropped 40%, and we can finally see which trades need more oversight. That data alone is worth the switch.”
