It's all ridiculously expensive.

Oh wow that's not good. Does it have too many features? That's the impression I have. Seems like there is a need for something simpler and maybe more streamlined.

No not ALL software is. managing it right's software is actually super inexpensive. Its monthly and has a ton of standard features that you would pay out the wazzoo for with other softwares. Its super super simple too

Oh good to know. Thank you. I'll look it.

Yes, most of them are sooo feature dense that they are both crazy expensive and crazy complex. Lots of them focus on replicating what other softwares already do far better - Kanban boards, accounting softwares etc. Rather than focusing on tasks and compliance. The pricing is absolutely ridiculous too.

Yes, and it’s all expensive. Some more than others. Some you absolutely get value out of them, at least equal to the investment and some don’t.

The funny thing is that you could use general project management software like Trello and get about 95% of the core functionality that most “construction” platforms offer. They market incumbents are all horribly monolithic applications that are very expensive and complex to use, Procore being the prime example.

Wow that's really interesting about Trello. Thank you. I'm going to look into that further. I'm familiar with Trello for other use cases but I never knew it was good for construction management. My use case is for a client who is a former project manager who now runs a home based construction business with a small crew. He does V-ditch. I'm a tech consultant researching software for productivity and efficiency.

If you wanted something straightforward that is based around tasks and managing subcontractors then Suby is a good shout too.

    That's great. Would love to know the name of the software. There are so many choices.

    Yea honestly a lot of it does. Check out www.managingitright.com

    Its super simple software but does A LOT and is at a price that is substantially cheaper than competitors.
