In construction, success depends on coordination. Dozens of moving parts — permits, schedules, contractors, inspections — must align perfectly for projects to stay on track. But most tools only manage one piece of the process, not the whole picture.
That’s where Smartsheet for construction comes in. When configured intentionally, it can become the blueprint for how organizations run, connecting people, data, and decisions across every phase of work.
At Smartsheet ENGAGE 2025, we shared how that vision comes to life. Our breakout session, Operational Excellence in Construction: Turning Process Into Profit, explored how companies are using Smartsheet to simplify complex workflows, support business frameworks, and create transparency at scale.
A real-world example: E-Plan Exam’s connected operations
At our breakout session, we were joined by E-Plan Exam, a leader in building code reviews and municipal plan review services. Their team combines deep technical expertise with a passion for community improvement, helping architects, engineers, and municipalities navigate the complexities of code compliance while keeping safety at the forefront.
E-Plan Exam’s approach to operational efficiency made for a powerful case study. By bringing Smartsheet into their daily processes, they strengthened collaboration, improved visibility, and aligned their work with the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) framework. The result? A smoother experience for clients and a stronger foundation for future growth.
DA Mattox, President of E-Plan Exam, shared insights from that journey, highlighting how technology supports not just project delivery but an entire organization’s mission.
The 10xViz team behind the solution
Our session also featured three of 10xViz’s own experts who brought different perspectives on what it takes to design and implement meaningful Smartsheet solutions:
- Jennifer Jones, Founder and CEO of 10xViz, started this company with a simple goal: help people stop drowning in data and start moving forward. She’s built one of the most skilled and sought-after teams in the Smartsheet ecosystem, known for creating solutions that make work easier, faster, and more connected.
- Dustin Wise, our Director of Solution Innovation, draws on more than 16 years of experience in engineering, operations, and leadership. He helps organizations rethink how they use Smartsheet to eliminate friction, automate workflows, and free teams to focus on higher-value work.
- Paul Newcome, our Senior Solution Architect and Integrator, brings unmatched technical knowledge and community expertise. As the No. 1 contributor to the Smartsheet Online Community with more than 36,000 posts, he’s helped thousands of users solve complex challenges and unlock new ways to work.
Together with E-Plan Exam, we showed how construction organizations can align people, process, and technology to build smarter operations from the ground up.
Lessons learned at Smartsheet ENGAGE 2025
Our session at Smartsheet ENGAGE was designed for anyone ready to see Smartsheet in action, not just as a project tracker but as a dynamic operational platform. Attendees got to see firsthand how to:
- Connect intake, scheduling, and delivery to improve visibility and accountability
- Support organizational frameworks like EOS within Smartsheet
- Apply best practices that make complex construction operations simpler to manage
- Explore premium apps and advanced tips you can implement right away
Ultimately, we showed attendees that — through Smartsheet — they can quickly create and scale construction operations, whether it’s managing field operations, overseeing compliance, or leading digital transformation across teams.
For E-Plan Exam, the results spoke for themselves:
- 2-week onboarding timelines (down from 3 months)
- Full EOS alignment + operational dashboards in every team leader’s hands
- 15-day review guarantee still 100% intact
- Scaled from 164 to 400+ monthly projects without adding chaos
Turning process into profit
Our message at Smartsheet ENGAGE 2025? Digital transformation in construction operations doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch. It’s about optimizing what’s already working and connecting what isn’t. Smartsheet for construction gives teams a flexible foundation that scales as they grow, helping them deliver consistent results, strengthen collaboration, and keep every stakeholder aligned.
Through our session, we showed how that transformation looks in the real world — and how 10xViz partners with organizations to make it achievable.
