Today we are in conversation with Scott and Bob to tackle one of construction’s biggest pain points: inconsistent data and processes. From prefab to project closeout, they break down how standardization and the right tools can bring clarity, efficiency, and real results across any job size.
01:00 – Meet Scott & Bob
Industry experts from Trinity and Quickbase share their mission to unify construction data and operations.
03:12 – The Big Problem: Inconsistent Data & Processes
From field teams to executives, construction companies are plagued by fractured workflows and siloed tools.
06:25 – Small Projects, Big Blind Spots
How smaller jobs often fall through the cracks due to ad hoc tools like spreadsheets and emails.
08:45 – Why Standardization Isn’t Optional Anymore
If your teams manage projects differently, leadership loses the ability to assess performance across the board.
12:15 – Are All Construction Projects the Same? Not Quite.
Recognizing project-level variation without abandoning company-wide consistency is the sweet spot.
14:00 – Lean Lessons from Hockey
How teams can stay on track—even with changes—by sticking to shared systems and clear data tracking.
16:30 – Debunking 'We're Different': Standardization Is Always Possible
After working with hundreds of firms, Scott and Bob argue no contractor is too “unique” to benefit from process clarity.
20:00 – New Hires, Vacations & the Bus Factor
Why consistent workflows empower teams to pick up slack, even when key players are out.
22:30 – Lighthouse Electric: A Case Study in Connected Construction
Discover how one company used Quickbase to map everything—from prefab to procurement—into one system.
26:00 – Prototype, Don’t Perfect: Build Smarter, Not Slower
Quickbase enables rapid iteration and feedback-driven solutions rather than expensive “one-and-done” systems.
29:00 – The Four Pillars of Construction Process Success
Productivity, safety, quality, and service—how top teams prioritize all four through digital workflows.
33:00 – Forecasting with Data: From Tuggers to TrendlinesReal examples show how centralizing tool tracking improves budgeting, scheduling, and field coordination.
36:40 – Scalability Over Shiny Tools
Why small- to mid-sized firms should choose flexible platforms that grow with them—not bloated software suites.
38:30 – Integration Made Easy: Connecting with Any GC’s System
Quickbase can tie into nearly any project management tool, even when juggling multiple general contractors.
