Various stakeholders in the construction industry can greatly benefit from the insights provided by construction data. Material and service suppliers can use this data to effectively target general contractors by tracking key milestones, such as the start of major projects, allowing them to time their outreach when contractors need new resources. This ensures their approach is both timely and relevant. Additionally, by analyzing business patterns, suppliers can identify contractors with growth potential and focus their efforts on them for future opportunities. Subcontractors can also leverage this information to reach out to general contractors they wish to collaborate with on specific projects. Furthermore, real estate developers, property owners, and others seeking contractors can use detailed construction analytics to evaluate the expertise and quality of potential contractors and subcontractors before making their selections.
