Ways Excel Can Hinder
Your Construction Planning

The construction industry faces unique challenges that Excel can’t account for. According to research, 94% of spreadsheets contain errors. One small data entry could end up costing millions of dollars in extensive construction projects.

Excel spreadsheets don’t provide a full view of the project to accurately plan, manage, and schedule the work. If you’re still using Excel to plan your projects, consider the following ways Excel can hinder your construction planning.
