Most construction issues that owners face after project completion often stem from seemingly minor causes—but with significant impact. Engineering research shows that the majority of structural defects, such as cracks, leakages, or settlement, do not occur randomly. Rather, they result from incorrect decisions made during the early stages of execution or from poor coordination between the architectural, structural, and interior design disciplines.

When each discipline works in isolation, on-site conflicts inevitably arise—such as mismatched ceiling levels, service routes clashing with structural columns, or interior designs that require unplanned modifications to the structural framework. These types of errors lead to rework, project delays, and a noticeable increase in final project costs.

Additionally, neglecting soil investigation, using low-quality materials, or overlooking proper review of drawings opens the door to long-term problems that are difficult and costly to resolve later.

For this reason, modern engineering practices emphasize that early coordination among all disciplines—supported by effective engineering supervision throughout all execution stages—is the most critical factor in preventing errors and ensuring project quality and sustainability. Proper coordination does not merely solve problems; it prevents them from occurring in the first place.

By leveraging STACK’s open API, PCL is able to seamlessly integrate their existing workflow to produce better estimating data. Through the cloud-based platform, PCL will have unparalleled flexibility and accessible data, increasing the precision of estimates, minimizing manual processes.

The Advantages of Panalized Systems

A key decision criterion for PCL was based on the fact that STACK is built on a modern cloud technology platform which enables improved collaboration during the quantity takeoff process.

PCL is a powerhouse, consistently in Engineering News-Record’s Top 15 List and boasting a range of projects from San Diego Airport’s International Arrivals Terminal to Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles-based BMO stadium. The partnership between PCL and STACK marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for two of the most innovative companies in construction.
