In this episode of The ConTech Crew, the host Jeff Sample talks with Don Tiefenbrunn and Steve Botz from RMOne about why current ERPs overlook pre-construction needs and how RMOne was born out of real-world challenges faced by construction professionals. They explore the fundamental shift in how construction companies approach technology, starting with pre-construction.

Don Tiefenbrunn is a seasoned architect turned construction leader who co-founded RMOne after decades in the industry. His firsthand frustrations with fragmented data systems led him to build a unified ERP that starts at the very beginning: pre-construction. Steve Botz brings a tech-centric perspective, having worked in real estate and construction tech. He joined RMOne to help scale the solution and bring its grounded, craftsman-built approach to more companies.

Key Takeaways

  • Why pre-construction is the most overlooked yet critical phase in project planning.
  • How RMOne was built from scratch to solve real construction pain points.
  • What "eating your own dog food" looks like in construction tech.
  • The role of change management in rolling out new systems organization-wide.
  • How small to mid-sized contractors can benefit from affordable, scalable ERP solutions.
