Transforming Hard Work into Smart Solutions

Growing a contracting business isn’t easy. Whether it’s finding new jobs, connecting with the right people, or trying to take on bigger projects, it can sometimes feel like an uphill battle.

For DFW Turf Solutions, a contractor based in North Texas, these challenges were part of everyday life—until they started using ConstructConnect® Project Intelligence (CCPI). This tool didn’t just help them improve; it completely changed how they worked.

The best part? The results aren’t out of reach. With the right tools and strategy, subcontractors across the construction industry can experience the same kind of success.

Common Problems Subcontractors Face

Before using CCPI, DFW Turf Solutions ran into the same challenges many subcontractors face:

Use of outdated, slow ways of sourcing new work.

The DFW Turf Solutions team used to drive to job sites and offices, just to learn about new projects. Sometimes this worked, but it wasted valuable time and wasn’t maintainable long-term.

Difficulty reaching the right people.

Trying to connect with the people who make project decisions felt like solving a puzzle without all of the pieces. Without knowing exactly who was in charge of a specific project or who held the plans, they missed important chances to build preconstruction partnerships.

Missed opportunities by not having visibility into private projects.

The DFW Turf Solutions team wasn’t missing out on projects because they weren’t qualified. Too often, they just weren’t aware of jobs that would be a good fit for their business—particularly private projects.

One Simple Tool Made a Big Difference

CCPI helps contractors overcome these roadblocks when building their businesses. With real-time info about projects, targeted filters, and contact details for key decision-makers on each project, DFW Turf Solutions was able to find the right projects and people—faster.

Their Network Grew Fast

“In a day, I can make 5-30 brand new contacts… I would’ve never even known those companies existed without ConstructConnect Project Intelligence.”

- Jerry Pyle, Commercial Design Representative, DFW Turf Solutions

With more time, the team could focus on building relationships, bidding on more of the right jobs, and doing quality work—without being slowed down by outdated ways of working.
