Christian Thomas · Director and Founder

Christian Thomas was tired of subcontractors submitting O&M manuals in wildly different formats and detail levels, then chasing approvals through manual review cycles. He rebuilt the entire process in Morta — standardised templates, automated notifications, and direct export into CAFM systems.

Andy Boutle · Head of Digital Construction

When Andy Boutle moved from the UK to join ALEC in the Middle East, there were no standardised information management templates on the company’s management system. What started as a push to align with ISO 19650 turned into something much bigger — four departments, 20+ daily users, and use cases nobody saw coming.

William Baker Jones · Deputy Head of BIM & Digital Engineering

William Baker-Jones needed to validate 4.8 billion lines of IFC data across 404 models for a £2–3 billion naval infrastructure programme — and the traditional approach was taking 16 working days per cycle. By wiring Morta’s API into IFC Open Shell and Python, his team got it down to half a day.

Thibaud Guerrero & Euan Evans · Digital Construction & Information Management

On the Lower Thames Crossing, you cannot create a deliverable in Asite or ProjectWise unless you go through Morta. Thibaud Guerrero and Euan Evans built it that way deliberately — and then expanded brick by brick into consent tracking, procurement, temporary works, carbon management, and programme visualisation.

Helen Luhaäär · Data Analyst

No existing logistics software could handle what Helen Luhaäär needed: form-based booking with validation rules, 72-hour notice enforcement, connected gate and hoist schedules, and approval workflows with visible statuses. So she built the entire system herself in Morta.

Pawel Kudosz · Digital Information Specialist

Pawel Kudosz spent hours filtering Excel columns one by one, highlighting errors in yellow, and cross-referencing Uniclass tables by hand. He replaced the entire process with a single-click export from Revit into Morta’s pre-configured validation tables — where errors appear colour-coded the moment data lands.

Kasia Russek · Design Office Manager

Kasia Russek asked her document controllers how much time Morta saved them. The answer was two days a week each — 256 hours a month from just four people. She built the entire system single-handedly across 11 projects and 60 users.

James Franklin, Ashley Dawson & Thomas Crossley · Head of BIM & Digital Construction, IDP Lead & Senior BIM Manager

James Franklin had tried everything to make information delivery planning work at scale on custodial projects — including hiring Thomas Crossley’s identical twin brother. Ashley Dawson and Thomas built the Morta solution in six weeks flat, flipping the entire IDP process upside down.

Colin Bell & Thomas Crossley · Digital Construction Director & Senior BIM Manager

Colin Bell saw what Thomas Crossley had built on Kier’s prison programme and asked a bigger question: could the same approach work across every division, every region, every project in the business? The answer required enterprise templates, a controlled request process, and Microsoft Fabric pulling it all together.

Jamile Touma · Associate Director

Mace’s client-side reviewers were drowning in different CDEs — Viewpoint on one project, Aconex on another, Procore on a third. Jamile Touma built a single review platform in Morta that sits on top of all of them, without asking contractors to change a thing.

Glenn McCaffrey · Digital Construction Director

When Glenn McCaffrey joined McLaughlin & Harvey five years ago, the company didn’t fully understand information as an asset. He set out to change that — starting with people, not software.

Matthew Scard · Digital Lead

Matthew Scard inherited an information management challenge that most people would consider impossible: 112,760 rows of technical standards accumulated over decades, spread across a prison estate housing 90,000 people, with no consistent way to tell a contractor which rules actually applied to their building.

Samuel Soh & Mariano Amoedo · Digital Consultants

Samuel Soh and Mariano Amoedo were staring down 10,000 deliverables on a major subway extension when they realised Excel wasn’t going to survive the next design phase — so they built something that could.

Allan Binns · Director

Allan Binns spent three years wrestling with Building Safety Act compliance before landing on an approach that actually works in practice — one that puts evidence ownership back on designers and uses Morta to filter CDE files into regulation-specific views automatically.

Rob Jackson · Head of Information Management Services

When Rob Jackson joined RLB Digital in January to build their information management practice from scratch, he asked a question most people in the industry had stopped asking: why are we still treating connected workflows as a stack of disconnected Word documents?

James Bishop, Amrik Avila, Eve Bader & Javier Lopez · Digital Transformation Team

James Bishop believes digital transformation belongs to the people who actually deliver the work. At SES Engineering Services, his team of five built a governance hub that uses Morta to govern Morta — tracking deployment, training, user sentiment, and license activity as they roll the platform out as a mandatory standard across the business.

Mark Harrison & Josh Barnsley · Digital Construction Team

Mark Harrison started with five Morta licenses and no particular intention. Two years later, Sir Robert McAlpine has 78 hubs and 116 active users — and a three-stage governance process that turns every new idea into either a company-wide standard or a deliberate no.

Dexter Robinson · Senior Data Architect

Dexter Robinson needed to unify data scattered across multiple systems into a single, scalable foundation for Sphere Entertainment’s digital vision — one that could standardise inputs from various platforms, automate compliance checks, and give every stakeholder access to the same up-to-date information.

Jan Artemenko · Senior Associate

Jan Artemenko got approval to use Morta at 5pm on a Friday. By the following Monday, he had the core of a resource planning system operational. Two and a half weeks later, 450 people across Stantec’s Buildings division were using it daily.

Veronique Makhlouf & Megan Hughes · Digital Construction Coordinator & Manager

Veronique Makhlouf and Megan Hughes replaced siloed Excel systems with a web-based platform in Morta — linking ACC, Revizto, and SharePoint into a single source of truth for ISO 19650 compliance, TIDP submissions, and RFI management across diverse teams and regions.
