20% More Efficient: A Construction Case Study by INGENIOUS.BUILD

At INGENIOUS.BUILD, we’re reimagining construction project management—empowering builders with a unified platform that connects every stakeholder, process, and decision. Our mission is simple: to help construction professionals streamline operations and scale confidently.

This is the story of how Client Construction, a lean, fast-growing general contracting firm, did just that—with measurable results.

Meet Client Construction

Founded in 2024 by Austin Bentley, Client Construction is a Nashville-based general contracting firm specializing in commercial builds—from tenant improvements to full ground-up facilities. With a background at a larger GC, Austin stepped out on his own to run projects solo, managing every aspect from budgets to subcontractors.

But starting a new business meant he needed a smarter, leaner way to run multiple jobs—without layering on tools or team members.

❌ The Challenge: Managing Growth Without Getting Buried in Tools

As a one-person operation with ambitions to grow, Austin needed a project management platform that would help him hit the ground running. His projects ranged from $250K to $500K, with plans to scale into $1M+ builds later that year.

Having used Procore in the past, he knew the pitfalls: complex workflows and billing-based pricing that made scaling painful.

What Austin really needed:

A centralized hub for RFIs, submittals, change orders, billing, and tracking
A flat, transparent pricing model
A platform that was easy to adopt and didn’t slow him down

💡 The Solution: Seamless Setup, Powerful Results

Austin discovered INGENIOUS.BUILD early on—and was drawn to its intuitive design and predictable pricing.

Implementation was quick and stress-free. With support from our Customer Success team, Austin was up and running fast.

“There was never any confusion around what was being presented—it was just a matter of getting personally familiar with the software,” he shared.

Unlike past experiences, this time the support was responsive and helpful. In just 4–5 months, Client Construction had fully integrated INGENIOUS.BUILD into its daily operations, managing every project start to finish.

🎯 The Results: 20% More Efficient and Ready to Grow

Austin estimates a 20% increase in overall efficiency—thanks to streamlined workflows, reduced admin burden, and easy access to critical information.

“With INGENIOUS.BUILD, I’ve got everything I need in one place—without paying for a bunch of things I don’t,” he explained. “It’s made me about 20% more efficient, and I don’t see how I could manage my projects without it.”

His favorite feature? The customizable dashboard that keeps everything important visible at a glance.

While he currently runs the platform solo, Austin plans to onboard subcontractors and clients in the near future to unlock even more value through collaboration.
