Businesses supplying materials and services to general contractors can use this data to better understand when contractors need new resources, particularly by tracking major construction project milestones and analyzing construction activity. This allows suppliers to time their outreach effectively, ensuring it aligns with contractors’ needs. Additionally, by analyzing contractors’ growth patterns through construction analytics, material suppliers and service providers can identify those poised for expansion and target them accordingly. Subcontractors can also use this data to find general contractors they wish to collaborate with.
