The Role of Technology in Construction

Gregory Gorman and Jeff Robertson, senior consultants at Ascent Consulting, unpack the pros and cons of integrating construction software into your business. Together Gregory and Jeff answer the question: Is construction software all it’s cracked up to be?  They caution that there is no easy button when it comes to construction software. It’s important to consider the return on investment when it comes to costs and implementation, including training your teams to use the newly adopted software. A lack of understanding about the effort required to effectively implement new technology can lead companies to bite off more than they can chew. Companies can end up paying for software without taking advantage of all its features. Gregory and Jeff dig into how to choose the right software for your company. Procore, for example, is best for medium to large-sized general contractors. Once you nail down the most appropriate software, the added value can be tremendous. Gregory and Jeff reflect on how new technology has changed the game, making data instantly available to teams in the field and in the office simultaneously.
