Construction is not an easy field. Projects are super long-term, budgets are huge, and they keep changing, so it’s super important to have clear systems for planning, budgeting, and visualizing all ongoing projects https://hacker9.com/selecting-a-reliable-erp-solution-provid... . On top of that, there are permits, land issues, and all that stuff that takes forever to sort before you can even start building.
