Simplify Construction Workflows: Moving Beyond Spreadsheets with Purpose-Built Software

Recorded Date: October 16, 2025

Many contractors still rely on spreadsheets and manual processes to manage complex operations—but this approach often creates errors and inefficiencies. In this webinar, Geordan Skyles, Construction Manager at Granite, will join Reed Renfrow, Senior Product Marketing Manager at HCSS, to share how Granite transitioned from spreadsheets to a purpose-built solution, HeavyJob.

They will discuss the real challenges that led to change, how they evaluated and implemented new software, and the measurable benefits of streamlining workflows and improving collaboration. The session will also highlight lessons learned, common pitfalls to avoid, and how emerging technologies like AI may shape the future of construction project management.
