What is it costing you

@constructionosa cosa.build

What is it costing you

@constructionosa cosa.build

What is it costing your schedules

@constructionosa cosa.build

15 Billion a year wasted

@constructionosa cosa.build

How Big is the Problem? Ops is hurting…….

@constructionosa cosa.build

~$1B ContractorAverage 16,200 RFIs/year

Reducing data entry & processing time saves money

Assume 30 minutes data entry / processing / interchange per RFI

Roughly 8,000 person hours processing RFIs alone

Approximately 4 FTEs in just data entry / re-entry

Think about the Risk of E&O & Mistakes
