$177 Billion. Every Single Year.
Not over a decade. Not across the world. Every single year, in the United States alone, the construction industry wastes $177 billion on rework, miscommunication, data gaps, and idle time. Most of it starts in the first hour of the workday.
The Cost of Flying Blind
Every dollar wasted started as a decision made without data. Here's where the money goes.
Building things twice because the first time was based on wrong information, old drawings, or miscommunication.
Crews standing around waiting for decisions, materials, inspections, or instructions that should have been ready at 6am.
Information that exists in someone's head, email, or text thread but never reaches the person who needs it.
Superintendents making 700 decisions per day based on gut feel because real-time data doesn't exist or isn't accessible.
The Return on POD

Decision Velocity
AI-powered insights put data behind every decision, eliminating phone calls and hallway conversations.
Idle Time Eliminated
Constraint removal, material tracking, and inspection readiness keep every trade productive from minute one.

“We tracked $2.3 million in preventable waste last quarter. Rework from wrong revisions. Crews standing idle waiting for decisions. Emergency material orders. POD showed us where the money was going — and we cut waste by 40% in the first 90 days.”
