So I've walked into the family business, HVAC contracting, with no experience in PM. We have no software besides quickbooks, meaning physical contract management, paper timecards, paper service tickets that aren't digitized, all that trash. I need to build a system that works for both the new construction side and the service side of the business. Thing is, I don't know where to start other than to ask those of you who are in construction or close enough for any suggestions. I can't really tell the difference between the wheat and the chaff other than Procore seems nice but costs 550 bucks a month which is a bit rich.

I'll answer in order: 1. There are three of us on the office side, we should be able to learn whatever system we choose in a reasonable amount of time. The field guys are definitely less IT savvy but the hope is that since they work in pairs they'll be able to help each other out and will only need to access a couple parts of the software anyway. 2. We're desperate to have better organization since we've lost money due to poor billing practices and missed contract renewals. 3. We have had quieter times, just getting out of one now, but waiting for another will probably make that period all the more painful if we leave money on the table again. 4. I feel like we're going to be a bit less carrot and a bit more stick with it, because this is all about discipline which has been lax. Could probably figure out some kind of gift to balance it though. 5. I'll ask some of our GC's what they use.
