Eric Wright Group: one delivery standard across every division

Eight divisions. Multiple sectors. One Group. When each division runs its own approach to progress reporting and quality management, the Group loses visibility and consistency suffers. Sablono gives Eric Wright a single structured delivery layer that works across residential, healthcare, education, water, and highways — without asking each division to start from scratch.

Why Group-wide consistency is harder to achieve than it should be

For a group the size and complexity of Eric Wright, the biggest opportunity isn't improving any one division — it's standardising the delivery layer across all of them. Maple Grove Developments, Applethwaite Homes, the core Construction division, and the specialist sector divisions each have their own programmes and project types, but the underlying need is the same: a consistent way to track progress, close quality loops, and produce evidence of delivery compliance that the Group can rely on regardless of which division is delivering.

What Sablono changes for Eric Wright

 Sablono is a construction execution and quality management platform. Site teams use it to track programme progress, log quality issues, and record sign-offs as work happens — building a structured delivery record automatically rather than through end-of-week reports that vary in format, frequency, and usefulness from division to division.

Foundation icon-1 Consistent progress tracking across eight divisions

Site teams across every Eric Wright division log activity against the programme in one structured system — replacing the end-of-week reports, spreadsheets, and phone calls that currently give the Group a fragmented and always-out-of-date picture of what's happening on the ground.

  • One standardised approach to progress reporting, applied across every division and sector
  • Group-level visibility without each division compiling separate updates
 
Foundation icon (2) Quality issues closed faster, across every project type

Whether the scheme is a residential development under Applethwaite, a healthcare facility under the Construction division, or a highways scheme, quality issues are logged, assigned, and tracked to close-out in one system — rather than sitting in division-specific spreadsheets or paper lists that don't surface until someone chases them.

  • Issues logged, owned, and closed out in one place regardless of division or sector
  • Consistent quality close-out process that doesn't vary with project type or team
 
Foundation icon (3) Delivery compliance evidence across sectors

Programme clients, public sector commissioners, and funders increasingly expect structured evidence of delivery quality and compliance — not just practical completion. Sablono produces that evidence automatically as site teams work, so it is ready when a client or commissioner asks for it rather than assembled after the fact.

  • Structured delivery record per scheme, ready for client or commissioner review
  • Consistent evidence format across residential, healthcare, education, water, and highways
 
Foundation icon (1) Replace division-by-division reporting with one Group standard

The current state — each division running its own reporting approach — makes it difficult for Group leadership to see across the portfolio without aggregating incompatible data. Sablono gives the Group one standard that every division works to, making cross-division visibility a byproduct of how projects are delivered rather than a separate reporting exercise.

  • Group leadership gets a live view across all divisions without manual aggregation
  • Reporting overhead reduced at division level, visibility increased at Group level
 

How Sablono Helps

Every division's supply chain, one platform
Connect site teams, subcontractors, and specialist trades across every Eric Wright division within a single structured system — progress visible from site to Group without manual translation between divisional reporting formats.

Group visibility without the aggregation overhead
Group and divisional leadership gets a live view of progress and quality across every active scheme — not a summary compiled from eight separate divisional reports. Issues surface as they happen, at the level that needs to act on them.
TrackTraceFlow LP (6)
Progress tracked against the programme, not just reported against it
Activity logged against the actual work sequence on every scheme, in real time — so delays and blockers are visible against the programme as they occur, across every division, not just the ones with the most disciplined reporting culture.
TrackTraceFlow LP (4)
Delivery evidence that works across every sector
Quality checks and sign-offs captured as work happens, building a structured compliance record that satisfies the requirements of residential purchasers, NHS commissioners, local authority clients, and utility operators — within the same platform, without separate processes for each sector.

FAQs

How does one platform work across such different project types — residential, healthcare, highways, water? The platform structures work around the programme and activity sequences relevant to each project type rather than applying a single template. Applethwaite residential schemes, Maple Grove commercial developments, and Construction division public sector projects each have their own programme structure within the same system — what's standardised is the way progress is tracked and quality is evidenced, not the specifics of each scheme.
Our divisions currently run their own systems and processes. How disruptive is a Group-wide rollout? Each division is onboarded in a planned sequence rather than all at once, so existing projects continue without interruption. The platform works alongside existing programme tools rather than replacing them — it sits at the site execution layer, capturing what's actually happening on the ground, rather than at the planning layer where each division may already have its own approach.
What does "delivery compliance evidence" actually mean for different sector clients?

It means different things by sector — for residential it might be a handover quality record, for healthcare it might be evidence of infection control compliance during construction, for highways it might be an as-built record for the commissioner. Sablono captures quality checks and sign-offs in a structured format that can be exported and presented to whichever client or commissioner is asking, without each site team having to maintain a separate documentation process.

How does Group leadership get visibility without creating more reporting work for divisions? Because every division logs progress and quality within the same platform, Group-level data is a byproduct of normal site activity rather than a separate reporting exercise. Division teams don't produce reports for Group — Group sees the same live data that division teams are already generating.
Does it work for the smaller specialist divisions as well as the larger ones? Yes. The platform scales to scheme size and complexity — a smaller water or highways project has the same structured delivery layer as a large residential development, just with a programme and activity list that reflects its actual scope. The consistency is in the approach, not in applying an enterprise-scale system to every project regardless of size.
How does this help with Group-level reporting to the board or senior leadership? Because every division operates within the same platform, Group leadership can see progress, quality status, and compliance evidence across the whole portfolio in one place — rather than waiting for divisional summaries that arrive on different cycles, in different formats, with different levels of detail.
