Quantapoint Helps WJE = Significantly=20 Reduce Project Cost and Time While = Improving=20 Quality

3D"" Wiss, Janney,=20 Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE) was asked = to=20 develop plans for repairs needed to an = historic=20 facade of one of New York City's largest = museums. There were minimal = existing=20 drawings so WJE had to survey and = document the=20 facade while minimizing disturbance to = the=20 structure and its landscaped = site.

According to=20 Timothy Allanbrook, a Senior Consultant = for WJE,=20 Quantapoint brought = many=20 benefits to the project. "Without their = services=20 we would have had to depend on the few = fragments=20 of historic drawings that we had been = able to=20 find. Without them we would have = needed at=20 least three times more = staff to=20 complete the assignment."
