Bad data. Duplicates. Data silos. Whether you’re a roofing or drywall contractor, you’ve probably experienced garbage-in, garbage-out. We can all agree there is a huge need for contractors to clean up and integrate the data they use when bidding. Nobody wants to create more data entry errors that get duplicated and replicated again and again.
As someone who started out in construction as a plasterer in the late 1980s, I know that data management isn’t likely to be a top priority for most contractors. You’re busy trying to find, bid, and win construction projects. It’s easier to push time-consuming and tedious data management down the road as a nice-to-have solution.
