Construction managers and general contractors juggle multiple workflows across tracking project communication, coordination, documentation, and more. This can lead to operational inefficiencies and strained relationships with various stakeholders.

Roger addresses these issues by offering a centralized platform that streamlines project task execution and improves efficiency. Through a central, unified system, Roger allows users to create, prioritize, and execute on every management workflow.
“Using Roger, we can track project activities comprehensively. It ensures prompt completion and facilitates better project relationships,” said Elijah Zenger, co-founder and COO.

Roger bridges a communication breakdown in construction management by seamlessly integrating email and task management. While professionals frequently rely on project-related documentation solutions like Autodesk and Procore, there can be delays in manual, individual-dependent execution in the collaboration phase – namely through emails and meetings. The platform synchronizes email applications like Microsoft Outlook and Gmail with management tools like task boards, material trackers, and spreadsheets. This enables users to set deadlines, assign ownership, and categorize projects, resulting in better team performance and collaboration. Follow-up and task tracking expedite the flow of information, accelerate construction schedules, and yield superior project outcomes.

One key feature in Roger’s ecosystem is procurement. Procurement and maintaining detailed logs are vital aspects of construction management, and numerous professionals encounter challenges during manual data entry, monitoring lead times, and the administration of documentation.

Consequently, Roger offers a procurement system that addresses these challenges by automating data entry, integrating project timelines, and enabling email-based follow-up. The amalgamation of emails, tasks, and logs into a unified homepage streamlines responsibilities for project managers and engineers.

Roger uses artificial intelligence (AI) to improve construction workflows, enabling proactive organization by categorizing emails and transforming unstructured data into well-structured information. The firm also automates email drafting, saving time and effort in composing reminders while improving communication between managers and clients.

The platform recognizes the importance of effective communication and strong relationships in the construction industry. Responsive managers are pivotal in maintaining positive connections with trades, subcontractors, clients, and stakeholders. Roger’s email analysis emphasizes the necessity of prompt responses and follow-ups to ensure client satisfaction and confidence. The company’s commitment to establishing long-term relationships and efficient support is evident through its swift issue resolution, ensuring top-notch service for clients.

Roger goes the extra mile to train clients on good communication, teamwork, and data management. It believes in personal client engagements, such as offering onsite visits and software demonstrations. The firm assists clients in developing the habits required to succeed in the construction industry. The company acknowledges that nurturing these habits requires considerable time and dedication, and it invests in supporting clients to achieve their goals.

Miscommunication and mistakes cost the industry almost $500B annually. Every construction manager has missed emails or dropped tasks that amount to thousands in changes or rework. Roger began because of a single missed email, which led to a change order of nearly $200,000. The founders created Roger to help teams track the construction processes, providing better management of email communications and important tasks. The platform acts as a single place where managers can drop every responsibility and requirement – operating as a “second brain” for notification and execution.

The Roger Founders, who met at Stanford, have pulled together an amazing team with backgrounds at other wellknown startups like Meta and Box. “We possess a unique combination of construction expertise and technological acumen,” adds Zenger. His technology background, combined with the co-founder’s civil engineering expertise, ensures that Roger meets industry professionals’ expectations while harnessing the capabilities of top tech talent.

Roger is reshaping construction management through streamlined tasks, improved communication, and enhanced efficiency. Its commitment to meaningful partnerships, extensive knowledge in construction and technology, and usercentric design make it stand out and deliver superior project outcomes.
