For commercial contractors, the stakes are high. Deadlines must be met and budgets kept. And the perfect storm of conditions work against them: multiple work locations, specific contract requirements, typically non-standardized processes and a large cast of owners, architects, subcontractors, suppliers and crews to communicate and collaborate with. If even one job is poorly handled, it can put a contractor’s reputation — and prospects for future work — in jeopardy.

In order to manage these challenges more effectively, you need the right tools. One of the keys to boosting construction efficiency and productivity is finding and using the right construction software. But in the vast landscape of software options, how do you know what you really need? What functionality is best and how will it be implemented? And how do you get your teams to adapt to and use the software? Poor technology decisions can create more headaches. This guide will help you understand how to make the right construction software decisions for your team and your business.
