The construction sector is evolving rapidly. Pressure on deadlines, labor shortages, and the need to deliver better results faster... In this context, more and more companies are equipping themselves with digital tools to structure their project management. But one obstacle often comes up: implementation costs. Fortunately, grants exist to support this transition.
In this article, we explain why investing in management software has become a strategic opportunity — and how to get assistance to finance this digital shift.
Software like Civalgo allows you to plan more effectively, track your construction sites in real-time, and maximize profitability.
Thanks to available grants (covering up to 50% of costs), this investment becomes more accessible.
With help from experts like Hello Darwin, you can identify the right grant, build a strong application, and begin your transformation without carrying the burden alone.
Canada is facing an unprecedented housing crisis. The numbers are alarming: 3.5 million additional housing units need to be built by 2030.
This enormous pressure weighs on construction companies that must build faster and more efficiently while maintaining high quality standards. It's a massive challenge that calls traditional working methods into question in favor of more suitable tools.
That's not all. Our aging infrastructure is crying out for help. Overcrowded hospitals, outdated schools, transportation networks on the verge of saturation: the need for modernization is critical.
Projects are piling up, and construction companies find themselves on the front lines. The question is: how to manage this workload efficiently?
As if these challenges weren't enough, the sector faces an alarming labor shortage. This trend is expected to accelerate with a significant number of construction workers retiring by 2028. This critical situation puts enormous pressure on companies, forced to do more with less.
Companies that have digitized their project management observe productivity gains of up to 25% (Gartner study). Better team coordination, real-time site visualization, optimized resource use: digital tools transform chaotic days into smooth, predictable operations.
Automation reduces time-consuming tasks like data entry, coordination, or administrative tracking. Result: your teams can focus on what truly makes an impact.
AI is gradually transforming construction — but to fully benefit, you need to start structuring your data now.
It's simple: no reliable data, no useful recommendations. A tool like Civalgo allows you to collect, centralize, and organize all key information from your sites daily.
This field data will, in the future, enable AI to:
The sooner you structure your data, the sooner you can benefit from truly operational intelligence.
"It's too expensive!" That's often the first reaction to the idea of investing in management software. But have you calculated the cost of inaction? Between project delays, planning errors, and lost contracts to more agile competitors, it's an issue not to be overlooked.
Change is scary; it's human nature. Your teams are used to their methods, however imperfect. But unfortunately, the construction industry must adapt quickly to survive and thrive. The key is a smooth transition, with solid training and personalized support.
"My teams aren't ready for this." It's a legitimate concern, but not insurmountable. Modern solutions like Civalgo are designed to be intuitive and easy to use.
Good news: several grants exist to help construction companies modernize their tools. Some can cover up to 50% of costs related to implementing software like Civalgo.
But between criteria, programs, deadlines, and application preparation, it's not always simple to navigate. That's why specialized organizations like Hello Darwin support SMEs in their efforts.
