How construction firms operate
Construction sales span 6-18 months with owner, architect, GC, and PM stakeholders. Most firms use Procore, Buildertrend, or CoConstruct for project execution — they're weak on the sales and pre-construction side.
Common challenges we see
- Bid follow-up goes dark between RFP and award
- Stakeholder context (owner vs architect vs GC) is hard to track
- Change orders escape the customer record into email threads
- Referral sources (architects, past clients) aren't systematically maintained
- Estimate-to-sold data doesn't flow to the CRM cleanly
