Laing O'Rourke, one of the UK’s leading constructors, has selected Asta Powerproject as its primary project planning software tool.

Laing O'Rourke typically undertakes work on 40-45 large-scale, multi-million pound projects at any given time. Due to the size and complexity of its developments, Laing O'Rourke has used project management software since its conception. It recently took the decision to undertake an internal evaluation of the key players in the project management market and to standardise on one software solution.

We have also been able to work with the Professional Services Division on specific features, customising the solution to our precise requirements.

"With approximately 130 planners in our organisation, it is vital that up-to-date project information is both constantly available and easily accessible. We evaluated each of the main project management solutions in terms of functionality, support and value for money over a three year period”, comments Andrew Anderson, Head of Planning and Resourcing, Laing O'Rourke.

“We judged Asta Powerproject to be the best product on the market and we will be using it on all future projects. ”

Laing O'Rourke will utilise Asta Powerproject on all future projects that it undertakes, unless otherwise requested by its client.

Asta’s technical support helpdesk has been very responsive

Anderson continues, “Asta’s technical support helpdesk has been very responsive. We have also been able to work with the Professional Services Division on specific features, customising the solution to our precise requirements.”
