96% OF CONTRACTORS FAIL BEFORE YEAR 10.

SUBCONTRACTOR COORDINATION CHAOS

• • 54% of contractors blame delays on poor sub coordination. 70% say poor jobsite coordination causes cost overruns and schedule blowouts. A typical project manager negotiates with 30-40 subs across a couple dozen trades — all through phone calls, texts, and emails.
• • "Ask any contractor about their worst day and you will hear about a scheduling disaster — subs showing up with no materials, concrete trucks arriving before forms are ready, critical path delays cascading into weeks of setbacks."
• • 35% of construction professionals time is spent on non-productive activities. Over 14 hours per week wasted on looking for project information, resolving conflicts, and managing rework.
• • When office teams, field crews, and subs operate from different versions of the schedule, communication breaks down. Subcontractors live in the chaos between jobsite expectations and crew availability.

For general contractors juggling 2-8 active projects with subs who never answer their phones

PROCORE COSTS $60,000/YEAR. YOU DO $3.7 MILLION.

• • Procore starts at $4,500-$10,000 a year for small contractors with most paying $20,000-$60,000 a year. Revenue-based pricing means costs scale with success. "Procore was overkill for our team." "If you are a small account, you might not get the same attention as enterprise clients paying $50K per year."
• • Buildertrend ranges from $199-$900 a month with $400-$1,500 onboarding costs and $39 per user beyond 3. "It is a hard product to learn and there is like 10 times more clicking than there needs to be." Pricing nearly doubles after the introductory period.
• • Data lock-in traps small GCs. "Once information is inside their system, retrieving it later is a massive challenge. There is no simple or bulk way to download years worth of files, photos, and customer information."
• • 70% of contractors have no formal technology roadmap. Most firms allocate only 1-5% of revenue to technology. The payback period for enterprise tools often exceeds 24 months — a lifetime for a small GC.

For small general contractors caught between enterprise software they cannot afford and spreadsheets they have outgrown

$177 BILLION IN REWORK. 48% FROM MISCOMMUNICATION.

• • 30% of all work on construction sites is rework. Poor communication and bad project data cause 48% of it. That is $177 billion a year in wasted labor, materials, and time across the US construction industry.
• • 82% of contractors face payment waits over 30 days. Subcontractors wait 56 days on average. A $3.7 million revenue GC billing $300,000 a month with a 47-day collection cycle has $470,000 outstanding at any time.
• • 96% of construction companies fail before year 10. The primary driver is cash flow — long payment cycles, low margins, and slow collections. Every dollar lost to rework and communication failures is a dollar closer to insolvency.
• • 5.5 hours per week per person spent just looking for project data. When information lives in email threads, text messages, and filing cabinets, finding it becomes a full-time job.
