Contractors, developers, engineers
Where they talk
- r/civilengineering
- r/Construction
- r/GeneralContractor
- r/Homebuilding
- r/Environmental_Careers
- r/ResearchAdmin
- r/nonprofit
- r/projectmanagement
Tools they use today
- DocuSign

Why those fall short

- Approvals and access not visible to field techs; office manager unaware
- No enforced deadlines or consequences; policies exist but are never reinforced
- no consequences; waivers always granted; policy not enforced
