ConTech Isn’t the Answer—Here’s What Is
Project information is your competitive edge
Hi ,
Construction is hard enough—your technology shouldn’t make it harder.
Studies show that 52% of construction rework is caused by poor data and miscommunication.
Yet, for most contractors, the tech and software they invest seems to create more headaches than results.
Why?
While we all understand that people run projects—information determines performance and results. The companies winning today aren’t just adding more software; they’re optimizing their project information to improve operations, create efficiencies, and drive profits.
Technology isn’t the answer—good project information is. Reliable and trustworthy information.
We're seeing this shift take place in real-time with our clients that are seeing the best results:
Eliminating soul-crushing manual data entry work.
Accelerating critical business processes like T&M tag processing and client invoicing.
Having project visibility and insights to avoid surprises.
For me, the most profound statement made during the recent MEP Innovation Keynote Panel:
"After losing $1.5M on a project that we thought we were doing well on, we started taking project information seriously. We haven't lost money on a project since."
This echos what I've been hearing from construction leaders:
They know what they want - they just don't know how to get there.
At Aedo, we know how to "get there".
Project Information Operations.
We’re cutting through the noise to bring you clear, real-world examples of how contractors are optimizing project information operations—moving from frustration to clarity—and measurable results (i.e. more profit).
Excited to be on this journey with you!
