Our take

The construction industry in general has been slow to adopt digital transformation. Much administration and decision making depends on excel spreadsheets and disparate databases, with substantial room for error - error that costs the construction industry at large nearly $90B annually. That tech-reluctant tide is beginning to slowly turn, thanks to the promise of cutting down on error costs - with a helping nudge from the pandemic period of remote working.

Which means that construction tech platform Join has a more willing market to play for than in previous years. Join provides a decision making platform that helps project leaders track and manage decisions in a collaborative way, as well as more accurately and efficiently run costing on them before they’re made.

It’s a David and Goliath set-up for Join, though, as incumbent giants Autodesk and Procore still dominate the scene. Join will be hoping that its collaborative focus chimes more closely with emerging, collaborative business models in the construction sector. If that’s the case, Join could siphon off some major business - to date, the company already boasts a strong customer base that includes Clark construction, DPR Construction, and McCarthy.
