3 SIMPLE MOVES FOR GETTING
NEW CONSTRUCTION
SOFTWARE BUY-IN FROM THE
OFFICE
1. BE A CHAMPION
Ease the fear of a new
software rollout by being a
leader and providing support
Use on-site teams to show
their experience with the
software and to provide
support in the office
Updates on your mobile
device are important to
ensure the app is running as
smoothly and efficiently as
possible
Reach out to the vendor to
see which resources they
can provide you with to help
support your pitch
2. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS
Cost savings can come from
increased efficiency, less re-
work, cheaper materials and
labour, etc.
Try to understand how much
time you are currently
spending on each
specific task
Implementing a new software
can help reduce your
walkthrough time which
ultimately saves costs
Important base numbers
• How much time does the process
currently take?
• How much time do you think the
software will save you?
• How much does the software cost?
• What are the additional value-adds?
Such as free-setup, support, etc.
3. ESTABLISH CLEAR GOALS
Create a list of clearly defined
goals to help the rest of your
team visualize the software’s
rollout success
Test the software with a pilot
project before rolling it out to
the entire company
A test pilot will allow you to
evaluate the success of the
software and thus help you
integrate it within
your company
Important areas to measure
when test piloting your software
• Time saved
• Data and quantifiable information
• Communication with your team
• Reputation in the industry
