Who's Here

Construction technology professionals, project managers, and contractors evaluating technology. Many are in operational roles looking for practical solutions. Value field-proven tools over theoretical benefits.

Common Mistakes on r/ConstructionTech

Avoid these pitfalls that get marketers banned or ignored.

Not understanding job site realities

Construction sites are tough environments. Technology that works in offices may fail in the field.

Instead

Show field readiness: "Ruggedized for job sites. Works offline. Dust/weather resistant."

Ignoring adoption barriers

Construction is traditional. Technology adoption requires overcoming significant cultural resistance.

Instead

Address adoption: "Easy training. Works with current processes. Doesn't require crews to change how they work."

Overcomplicating for frontline workers

Crew members need simple tools. Complex interfaces fail on job sites.

Instead

Simplicity focus: "Designed for field workers. Three taps to complete. No training required."

Not addressing integration with existing systems

Construction companies have established workflows and systems. Standalone tools add friction.

Instead

Show integration: "Works with Procore, Bluebeam, and major ERP systems. API for custom connections."

Ignoring safety and compliance

Safety is paramount in construction. Technology must support, not complicate, safety requirements.

Instead

Address safety: "Supports safety documentation. Incident tracking built-in. OSHA-compliant reporting."
