The Hidden Problem
Most construction companies don’t adopt Make because they want automation.
They adopt it because:
- RFIs are slow
- Approvals get stuck
- Teams rely on manual follow-ups
- Data is scattered across systems
Where It Breaks
When they try to implement automation:
- Costs become unpredictable (“credit drain”)
- Workflows become too complex
- Errors break critical processes
- Teams stop trusting the system
So instead of solving operational problems…
It creates new ones
What This Looks Like in Construction
This isn’t abstract it shows up directly on projects:
- RFIs sit waiting because routing isn’t enforced
- Change orders require manual coordination
- Site teams don’t use the system consistently
- Finance data lags behind project reality
And the result:
Delays, rework, and margin loss
The Solution: Automation Built for Construction Workflows
We didn’t just “fix Make”
We rebuilt it around how construction teams actually operate.
What We Changed (Automation Layer)
1. RFI & Approval Automation
- RFIs auto-routed to the right stakeholder
- Escalations triggered if delayed
No more chasing responses
2. Cost & Credit Optimization
- Reduced unnecessary operations
- Rebuilt workflows into efficient logic
Lower automation costs as projects scale
3. Field-Friendly Experience
- Removed need to interact with Make UI
- Simple dashboards for site teams
Higher adoption across crews
4. Bulletproof Workflows
- Error handling + retry systems
- Fail-safe alerts for critical issues
No more silent failures during live projects
5. Real Time Data Sync
- Clean integration with project + financial tools
- No duplicate entry or lag
Accurate project visibility at all times
What It Looks Like on a Live Project
Before:
- PMs chasing RFIs manually
- Delayed approvals holding up work
- Finance always behind reality
- Automation unreliable
After:
- RFIs move automatically
- Approvals happen faster
- Systems stay in sync
- Workflows run without intervention
The Outcome
Faster project cycles
Reduced admin workload
Improved team adoption
More predictable operations
