In construction, rework isn’t just a minor inconvenience—it’s one of the biggest profit killers. Whether it’s a fixture placed two inches off, a finish miscommunication, or an outdated layout on-site, even small errors can have a ripple effect on schedules, budgets, and client satisfaction.
That’s why more contractors are turning to Digs—a collaborative platform built specifically for custom home builders—to keep everyone on the same page and prevent costly rework before it happens.
The Power of Real-Time Updates
Construction sites are dynamic environments. Materials are delivered, subs come and go, and design decisions evolve rapidly. Without a centralized, up-to-date source of truth, decisions get lost in text threads, calls, and outdated PDFs.
With Digs, builders can communicate changes instantly, update drawings and selections in real-time, and ensure that field teams, office staff, and homeowners are always aligned.
Chris Williams of Williams Contracting breaks it down simply:
For every project, there are 20–25 small but important field decisions that need real-time clarification—things like fixture placement, finish alignment, or layout adjustments. Before Digs, each of those could eat up one to two hours or more between phone calls, site visits, and updated drawings.
“Now, most of those conversations take five minutes. We can make the decision, document it, and move on.”
That adds up fast. Chris estimates that Digs saves his team 40 to 50 hours per project—time that can be reinvested into staying on schedule and getting the job done right the first time.
Catching Mistakes Before They Become Expensive
The value of real-time updates doesn’t stop in the field. For Moser Homes, Digs plays a key role in communicating with contractors or the team.
At the end of the pre-construction phase, Moser Homes conducts a full review in Digs—carefully walking through plans, specs, and selections. On average, they identify 4 to 7 mistakes or missing items per home that would have led to costly rework or delays.
“The information is at my fingertips,” says AJ Gavetti of Moser Homes.
“I can figure out any problem that arises because we’re tracking everything in Digs.”
By catching these issues early, AJ and his team save time, avoid miscommunication, and reduce the domino effect that one small oversight can have on framing, electrical, or finishes. The result? Smoother execution, faster builds, and reduced costs.
Why Contractors Are Making the Switch
Whether it’s making a quick layout decision on-site or preventing a selection error before the foundation is poured, Digs helps eliminate the guesswork and backtracking that plagues so many builds.
Builders love Digs because it:
- Streamlines real-time decision-making
- Reduces the need for repeated site visits and long email threads
- Gives field crews instant access to the latest plans and selections
- Catches issues early during pre-construction
- Helps ensure every project stays on track—and on budget
