Generic IT Costs Builders More Than They Realize
85% of construction firms say technology issues impact their ability to deliver projects
efficiently. Here’s what’s really going on, and what top performers do differently.

Your Systems Don't Talk to Each Other
The average construction firm uses 12+ software systems that don’t communicate. Plans live on one desktop, change orders in someone’s email, financials in another system entirely. The result? Manual data entry, version confusion, and mistakes that cost real money on real projects.
52% of all rework in construction is caused by miscommunication and poor data management. That’s not a technology problem. It’s a technology integration problem.
The Real Cost
$31 billion in annual rework. And that’s just the documented number. How much is falling through the cracks on your projects?
What We See
PMs keeping shadow spreadsheets “just in case.” Field crews emailing photos to the wrong address. Estimators working from outdated plans because nobody updated the shared drive.
You're Paying for Software Nobody Uses Properly
Here’s the stat that should keep every contractor up at night: companies that fully optimize their construction technology see 82% project performance improvement and 77% higher margins, compared to just 31% for “light adopters.”

The 85% Solution
You don’t need to adopt every new tool. You need to use 85% of what you already have. Properly configured, properly trained, properly supported.
Your Current MSP Doesn't Speak Construction
Construction IT is fundamentally different: multisite operations, field connectivity, large file handling, specialized software, strict compliance requirements, and crews who need things to work the first time.
The Translation Tax
Every time you explain your business to your IT provider, you’re paying a tax. Time spent educating them is time not spent building.
What Changes
When your IT partner already understands construction, conversations start at the solution, not the problem explanation.
The Contractors Who Are Winning All Share These Three Things
Research from Procore, Dodge, and Placer Solutions consistently shows the
same pattern among high performing construction companies.
Dedicated Technology Strategy
One third of the top 400 US contractors now have dedicated data and innovation departments. They treat technology as a competitive advantage, not a cost center.
