Dornan partners with Gather to deliver supply chain transparency across complex MEP projects

Dornan - A Turner Company, the Irish-headquartered engineering services specialist with over 1,350 employees across 10 offices throughout Ireland, the UK, Continental Europe and the Nordics, has partnered with Gather to transform hours visibility across their complex mechanical, electrical, piping, and instrumentation projects.

Dornan delivers intricate engineering solutions to demanding sectors, including semiconductor, lifesciences/biotech, and advanced technology facilities. As part of Turner Construction Company's expanded European capabilities, managing hours across its extensive supply chain requires absolute transparency and control.

The Gather construction record management system is helping Dornan capture comprehensive hours allocation records that provide complete supply chain transparency.

"We're helping Dornan capture detailed hours allocation data in real-time that enables better commercial decisions and more accurate change quantification. This level of visibility provides enormous benefit to both Dornan and their supply chain partners," comments Will Doyle, Gather CEO.

From Fragmented Hours To Commercial Clarity

Dornan's commercial teams were managing hours tracking across fragmented systems, creating an incomplete operational picture. Without detailed resource allocation information, it was difficult to understand true project hours, accurately quantify changes, or use historical data to estimate future work.

"We needed complete visibility of where hours were being allocated at the activity level," explains Sean Horan, Commercial Director UK. "Without detailed hours data from our supply chain, it was difficult to accurately price variations or use historical performance to improve our estimating."

Dornan recognised the need for a centralised platform that captures detailed hours allocation data in real-time. Gather transforms how supply chain teams collaborate through its intuitive cloud-based platform, creating a single source of truth for project delivery. Teams can quickly log resource deployment and hours breakdowns without administrative burden, feeding directly into accurate commercial tracking and planning processes.

Driving Data-Driven Decisions

With detailed hours visibility, Dornan can now quantify project changes accurately and make informed decisions based on real data rather than estimates. The platform provides activity-level hours breakdown that transforms how they approach project profitability.

"Gather gives us granular hours data that shows exactly how our supply chain is performing on each activity," said Sean Horan, Commercial Director UK. "We can now price variations with confidence and use real performance data to win future work. It's transformed our commercial approach from guesswork to data-driven decisions."

Ready To Transform Your Supply Chain Transparency?

If you're managing complex engineering services projects and need better supply chain transparency, Dornan's approach demonstrates what's possible with the right tools and systematic hours tracking. Whether you're working on semiconductor, lifesciences/biotech, or advanced technology projects, Gather helps teams capture the detailed data needed for commercial success.
