There was a time for on-premise preconstruction software – and that time was 1995. Now, with geographically distributed and remote teams, a faster pace, and cutthroat competition, the desktop software that served you in the past is holding you back from future success.
Challenges with Using On-Premise Desktop Construction Technology
Even if you’ve been using your existing software for years, the fact is it’s costing you more than you might realize. From maintenance fees to rework due to file corruption problems, from IT infrastructure requirements to the opportunity costs of jobs your team never had a chance to bid, on-premise solutions present many more pitfalls than benefits in today’s construction landscape.

Aside from adding minor annoyances to your team’s day-to-day, there’s a bigger-picture loss here. You’re paying staff for potentially hours’ worth of rework, and that’s time they aren’t spending seeking out new work and bidding on other jobs – jobs that could have added to your profits.

Data Storage Decisions
When cloud storage is not an option, it’s up to your organization to figure out where to keep your data – from project plans and specs to past proposals and everything else. On-premise servers are expensive and require expert IT staff to maintain, and they can fail. If you have servers on-site, you&rsqu
