Our Recommendation

For most construction companies, we would start with Path A to establish credibility and showcase past work. The trigger for Path B is usually when managing client expectations across multiple projects becomes difficult, or when document exchange and progress updates are causing friction.

Why This Matters

Own your website and data
Avoid unnecessary platform lock-in
Build around your workflow
