The Challenge

Specialty contractors often face confusion on the jobsite and in the office because responsibilities aren’t clearly defined. When roles overlap or are vague, teams waste time clarifying who should do what. Meanwhile, project documents get scattered across emails, phones, and file shares, leading to missed updates and outdated info.

The Impact

This misalignment causes frequent delays and costly mistakes. Work may have to be redone or halted because someone didn’t get timely information or instructions. Admin effort spikes as office staff scramble to track down the right person or document. These problems slow projects, drain profits, and frustrate clients.

The Solution

Contractors need a straightforward way to establish clear role responsibilities and centralize access to project documents.

Define each role's tasks and responsibilities explicitly so teams know who handles what.
Link all critical project documents in one accessible hub so updates are visible to the right people.
Use a system that enforces role-based access, showing team members only relevant tasks and documents to reduce noise.
Communicate and train the team on these new role definitions and document practices.
Review and adjust roles and document links regularly as projects evolve.

Starting small is key. Taking one simple step toward clarity can stop the compounding confusion and wasted effort.
