Construction has been riding a growth wave, forecasted to hit $1.27 trillion by 2025 and holding a 4.4% CAGR through 2029 (GlobeNewswire). With growth, every contractor needs one thing: coordination. But the reality check is rising costs, tariffs, delays, and investor jitters are slowing momentum. Projects don’t fail because people don’t work hard, they fail because communication breaks down. Misaligned specs, delayed updates, or version confusion between the office and the field can cost contractors millions in rework, delays, and lost opportunities.
That’s where STACK Build & Operate comes in, keeping your projects moving at pace, even when the market doesn’t. By giving your team a single source of truth for project documents, workflows, and updates, STACK eliminates silos and ensures that what’s decided in the office is executed in the field.
Why Now?
- The market may be cooling, but digital-first efficiency is ramping up, especially with massive infrastructure programs like IIJA and IRA fueling long-term opportunities (Deloitte).
- Firms that streamline workflows across office and field are positioned to outpace competitors.
- STACK Build & Operate is your built-in solution for real-time clarity, tighter handoffs, and faster workflows.
The STACK Advantage
Challenge | STACK Gives You… | Why It Matters Now |
|---|---|---|
Office ↔ Field Disconnect | Real-time document access, streamlined workflows, intuitive hand-offs | With $2 trillion spent in 2024 and moderated growth ahead, efficiency is non-negotiable (Deloitte) |
Workflow Bottlenecks | Instant issue tracking, daily reports, workflow templates | Faster throughput keeps teams ahead, even in the face of rising input costs and delays (BusinessWire) |
Labor & Talent Gaps | Smooth onboarding, fewer manual hand-offs, digital clarity | Tech-driven efficiency is critical to overcoming shortages and staying profitable (Deloitte) |
What Contractors Are Saying
![“The management of our work before the use of [STACK Build & Operate] was mainly the problem that we had of distributing documents between the office and the site since the field managers are not on the site every day. This part, with this software, solved a lot of problems since the documentation was done instantly as soon as the required documents were submitted to the website to share the documents.” -Construction RDJ](https://www.stackct.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/BLOG_Field-Office_Flow_Quote2-1024x492.png.webp)
NEW: STACK Makes Coordination Even Smarter
- Smarter Data, Cleaner Views: Old takeoff data was limited. Now, STACK brings over real data so you can tap on items for info and toggle takeoff layers on or off to cut the visual clutter.
- Connected Takeoffs and Annotations: Takeoff names and annotations now transfer automatically. Plus, STACK creates special “STACK Takeoffs” layers that you can rename, share, and toggle across multiple pages.
- Next Up - Filters for Precision: Coming soon, you will be able to filter by annotations, takeoff types, tags, and labels so you see exactly the data you need, when you need it.
- Stronger Permissions, Seamless Access: A new permission in STACK Takeoff & Estimating (“grant access to transfer full project data”) ensures only authorized users can transfer data. And because authorization is retained between Build & Operate and Takeoff & Estimating, you won’t be stuck re-logging in.
The Bottom Line
If you’re looking to close the gap between what happens in the back office and the job site, STACK Build & Operate is your solution. And now it’s even more powerful, helping you cut clutter, control data, and keep your teams connected like never before. See what STACK can do for your teams today!
