Industry Trends Lunch - Navigating GC Tech Stacks: Practical Strategies for Specialty Contractors & GCs

Description

Technology is transforming how construction projects are managed—but for specialty contractors, navigating the many different technology platforms required by General Contractors can be overwhelming, inefficient, and costly.

This Industry Trends Lunch will bring together General Contractors and Specialty Contractors for a practical, strategy-driven discussion on how GC technology stacks impact project execution—and how teams on both sides can work more effectively within them.

Rather than debating which software is “best,” this conversation will focus on real-world strategies for managing multiple platforms, avoiding common pitfalls, and improving collaboration across project teams.

Attendees will hear directly from experienced GCs and specialty contractors as they break down:

• How GC tech stacks typically function
• The most common challenges specialty contractors face
• Where GCs may unintentionally create friction
• Practical ways to reduce inefficiencies and improve outcomes

The session will include a moderated panel discussion and interactive dialogue, highlighting top strategies and lessons learned from the field.
