Thanks to the great technology acceleration, construction is shifting toward adopting tech across our industry. The benefits of digital processes are plentiful, from increased collaboration and improved accuracy to more efficient workflows and increased profitability. Unfortunately, software fatigue is also emerging with this tech explosion. When construction teams are constantly required to learn and use many new applications, burnout, wasted time, and frustration ensues.
How will you choose the best for your business with so many systems on the market?

Talk to your Estimators and Project Managers to understand the business needs and pain points when shopping for innovative construction technology. Your needs as a CTO don’t always align with your team who will be using these systems. They will gravitate toward best-in-class solutions that meet their needs to increase efficiency and accuracy and minimize risk. As a CTO, you will benefit from consolidated solutions that streamline processes and centralize data. But what happens when the consolidated solutions are… subpar?
