Collaboration is the Key to Success in Construction Projects: Takenaka Corporation Harnesses the Power of Hubble

In construction, success depends on one thing — collaboration. When teams align, projects move with precision. When they don’t, the results are delays, cost overruns, and safety breaches. According to McKinsey & Company's report, Reinventing Construction: A Route to Higher Productivity, poor communication and coordination lead to productivity losses of up to 20% in large construction projects.

For semiconductor construction projects, where ultra-clean environments, critical path schedules, and multiple vendors converge, traditional paper-based workflows simply fall short. True efficiency comes from digital collaboration and integrated mobility tools that enable real-time data sharing and fast, informed decision-making across all stakeholders.

The Hubble Platform: Powering Semiconductor Project Excellence

The Hubble platform transforms how construction teams work together in semiconductor facility construction. It unites contractors, engineers, and project owners within a single cloud-based construction management ecosystem. Every drawing, inspection, checklist, and approval flows through one central hub — accessible anytime, anywhere.

By automating manual coordination and linking project data across departments, Hubble shortens decision times by as much as 40% and helps reduce total project costs by an average of 15%. Teams spend less time chasing updates and more time executing. Projects are delivered faster, safer, and more cost-effectively.

Takenaka Corporation: Fab12i P3 Semiconductor Expansion

Takenaka Corporation is a leading design-build contractor with proven expertise in semiconductor facility construction. The company delivers high-precision cleanrooms, controlled environments, and advanced infrastructure to meet the exacting standards of chip manufacturing. With deep technical capability and integrated project management, Takenaka ensures reliability, efficiency, and safety in every phase — from design to completion. Its track record across Asia positions it as a trusted partner for complex semiconductor developments.

We had the honour of supporting Takenaka Corporation in their massive undertaking in Singapore's semiconductor manufacturing sector. During our recent training session led by our Customer Success Manager, Ms. Priscilla Setiabudhi, the session focused on the power of the Hubble platform to streamline and optimise construction projects. Nearly 100 participants joined the session, each dedicated to improving communication and control in one of the region’s biggest advanced manufacturing projects.

For their project expansion of an advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility, the Fab12i P3, Takenaka have chosen the following solutions: 

• Hubble Workforce Management System – For real-time attendance tracking, manpower scheduling, security, and visitor tracking. 
• Hubble Safety Management System – For worksite safety with features like custom checklists, GPS tracking, and digital sign-offs. Takenaka has already conducted over 200 toolbox meetings and issued more than 100 electronic permit-to-work, reducing paper-based errors and response times.
• Hubble Quality Management System – For complete project quality control with digital defect tracking, mobile inspections, and consolidated quality data. This has enabled Takenaka’s managers to close up to 25% more quality issues per week compared to manual processes.

This collaboration underscores a growing industry trend. A 2023 report by Dodge Construction Network, Optimizing Digital Project Management for General Contractors, found that companies using integrated project management platforms experience 23% higher on-time completion rates.

Elevating Construction Standards

Modern semiconductor construction projects demand precision, agility, and transparency. The Hubble Platform delivers all three. It connects every stakeholder through a digital command center — ensuring that field operations align with management goals, while ensuring strict adherence to cleanroom, EHS, and compliance standards unique to the semiconductor industry.

It is important to note that collaboration is not just about teamwork; it is about using the right tools to make teamwork count. With Hubble, every project milestone becomes measurable, every safety incident traceable, and every cost controllable.
