In this promotional case‑study video, William Doyle MRICS explains how Costain, a Tier‑1 UK contractor, uses the Gather platform to enforce consistency across dozens of subcontractor packages on large infrastructure programmes such as the A12 upgrade and the Gatwick Station redevelopment. By collaborating with Costain’s PMO and commercial teams, Gather was configured to capture every required NEC‑compliant record—scope wording, activities, events, resources—in real time and through a single, standardized workflow. The result was daily, auditable reporting from every subcontractor, cutting reporting time by almost 40 % while delivering a clear, actionable picture for leadership. The video closes with a call‑to‑action inviting viewers to book a demo of Gather for their own supply‑chain projects.

Tier 1 contractors like Costain don't leave consistency to chance. It's part of their DNA, and it's how they deliver some of the UK's most complex infrastructure programmes. On the A12 upgrade and the Gatwick Station redevelopment, it meant every subcontractor working to the same playbook from day one. Gather was a huge part of that, turning hundreds of records into one clear, consistent picture that leadership could act on. There were multiple subcontractor packages, each with their own teams, scopes, and reporting style. Every single record had to match the same high bar. It had to be auditable, consistent, and accurate. Costain chose Gather to make consistency a given. Working with Costain's PMO and commercial teams, we mapped out exactly what needed capturing under NEC, right down to the scope wording for the subcontractors. Then we configured Gather so that every package would follow the same workflow, from access process, activities, events, and resources. They were all captured in real time, not days later. From day dot, the impact was obvious. There was consistent daily reporting from every subcontractor, and reporting time was cut by nearly 40%. Quick to deploy, simple to adopt, and part of how Costain delivers today. Big projects don't slow down for messy records, and neither should you. Gather gives you the consistency, clarity, and confidence to keep things moving. Book your demo now to see it in action across your supply chain.
