Switch from Smartsheet

It's 2024. Embrace Modern Solutions.

Moving from local spreadsheets to cloud-based spreadsheets has improved collaboration, but it still doesn't solve the need for automating proper workflows in construction. Stay ahead with cutting-edge project management software.

Why stick with outdated software in this modern age? Don't pay a percentage of your project value for legacy tools. Upgrade to solutions designed to accelerate your business efficiently and cost-effectively.

INGENIOUS.BUILD is the best project management tool for Real-Estate Development and Construction projects.

How does INGENIOUS stack up against Smartsheet?

There are 76 core processes in Construction and nearly 70 additional ancillary processes.

Smartsheet isn't tailored for the construction industry, leading to constant, time-consuming customization and a lack of automation.

Let’s see how INGENIOUS compares...

VS

Intuitive and simple, yet more powerful.

Specificity

Horizontal application not specific to construction.

Easy to get started quickly with optimized workflows.

Ramp Up

You will spend months or even years customizing to fit unique construction workflows.

Automatically covers every project participant.

Legal Basis

Fails to track each project participant's actions sufficiently.

Due to connected workflows, activities are fully automated.

Automation

Mostly manual processes.

At minimum, 2 hours a day, but up to 6 hours saved due to automation.

Productivity Gains


Only a few hours a week of time savings for the GC.

Easy to implement and promotes best practices.

Setup

Never ending.

Task Management

Feature available but designed solely for internal collaboration. Using it externally may risk your legal basis.
