Construction News Image
KOREC Group is expanding its operations with the launch of BuildingPoint UK and Ireland as it becomes the newest partner to join Trimble's BuildingPoint distribution network.

Through this new Trimble partnership, those that work within the construction industry, can now access a full Trimble digital construction portfolio of hardware and software, backed up by regional experts.

This will be delivered through a BuildingPoint team dedicated to bringing tried and tested workflows to the UK and Irish markets. These workflows have been developed to deliver increased productivity, schedule adherence and cost discipline through tighter coordination, improved project transparency and collaboration.

The £650,000 investment will be used to hire 10 new personnel and develop sales, with KOREC planning to expand the team to 25 new roles over the next three years.

The dedicated and experienced team will be looked after by Sam Hough (UK) and Kevin Colwell (Ireland) whilst a new BuildingPoint construction-focused website for the UK and Ireland has also been launched.

The offering will also include assistance with the adoption of digital workflows through a range of task-specific software and hardware solutions, from general setting-out tools to augmented and mixed reality technology, and robotics.

Alan Browne, Group Chief Executive of KOREC and EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Finalist 2022 said: "Over 70% of UK and Ireland construction projects run over time and over budget due to a number of factors including rework, barriers to stakeholder collaboration and challenges to onsite efficiency and productivity.

"The creation of BuildingPoint UK and Ireland is the next phase in our journey alongside Trimble, to help our partners in building construction to operate more safely, more quickly and more accurately whilst reducing costs and the impact on the environment."
