Summit Construction Cuts Project Delays by 30%
How a 35-employee general contractor replaced fragmented project and accounting tools with one platform — and delivered projects on schedule more consistently than ever.
The Challenge
Summit Construction managed 12 active residential and commercial projects simultaneously, but Buildertrend and Sage operated in separate universes. Project managers updated schedules in Buildertrend while the accounting team tracked budgets in Sage — and the two systems never synced.
Change orders got lost between systems, subcontractor scheduling conflicts weren't caught until crews showed up on the wrong day, and budget overruns weren't visible until month-end reconciliation — when it was too late to course-correct.
- Change orders lost between project management and accounting
- Subcontractor scheduling conflicts causing rework and delays
- Budget overruns only visible at month-end reconciliation
- Field teams relying on outdated printed schedules
The Solution
Summit Construction phased in Dewx over four weeks, starting with their two largest active projects and expanding to the full portfolio once the workflow was proven.
CX Hub — Project Scheduling
Gantt-style scheduling with dependency tracking, subcontractor coordination, and mobile field updates.
