Trimble Unity Construct
What is Trimble Unity Construct?
Trimble Unity Construct (TUC) is a web-based project management (WBPM) system which is used by the Illinois Tollway and its partners to manage the various construction and design projects that are currently being undertaken as part of the Tollway’s Move Illinois Program.
With Trimble Unity Construct, project participants can exchange project related information, manage supporting documentation, and create/track the completion of business processes and tasks while creating an auditable project record.
As part of the project record users will be asked to submit RFI’s, Drawing Packages, Submittals, and various other types of documents into Trimble Unity Construct where they can be tracked and reviewed for approval.
How can I get access to Trimble Unity Construct?
Access to Trimble Unity Construct is only available to vendors who have been awarded a planning, design, construction or construction management contract with the Illinois Tollway. As part of their preparation to do work with the Illinois Tollway, vendors will be requested to designate a list of potential Trimble Unity Construct users from their project team. Once those users have been trained, they will receive login credentials which will allow them to access Trimble Unity Construct and begin using the system to manage their project.
