Overview

Sherburne County, Minnesota has long been a leader in leveraging technology to improve infrastructure project delivery. For over a decade, the County has successfully utilized the OneOffice platform for construction management, supporting construction administration workflows and contractor coordination.

Challenge

Despite having a centralized system for construction administration, the County still relied on separate tools, spreadsheets, and programs to manage other phases of their capital improvement projects—especially budgeting, planning, and early-stage tracking. This approach created inefficiencies, duplicated data entry, and limited visibility across departments.

Solution

To address these challenges, Sherburne County recently expanded their use of OneOffice by implementing the Capital Improvement Planning (CIP) module. This addition allowed the County to consolidate: Budgeting, Project Planning, Project Tracking and Project Mapping into a single, centralized platform that remains automatically in sync with the existing Construction Management module.

Results

With both CIP and Construction Management fully integrated in OneOffice, Sherburne County can now:

Dynamically track capital projects from conception through construction

Eliminate redundant data entry and reduce administrative workload

Simplify workflows and task management for county staff

Improve accountability and oversight with centralized data and progress reporting

Minimize siloed systems, replacing spreadsheets and standalone tools with one unified solution

Impact

The integrated OneOffice environment has resulted in more efficient planning, faster decision-making, and a clear line of sight into project performance—from high-level capital budgeting down to day-to-day construction activities.

Sherburne County’s move to consolidate their project lifecycle under OneOffice showcases a strategic investment in technology that enhances transparency, coordination, and long-term infrastructure planning.
