Grantlun got us to assess our entire operation (the good and the bad). So far we are having real in-depth conversations as we work through the workbooks and are optimistic we will see real improvement to our quality and bottom line. Great approach, great product and great people.
Grant Lungren’s extensive real world construction experience and technical insight have been an invaluable help to our organization. Grant has helped us streamline our operations and helped us to implement many time saving automated systems. With his help we have trimmed our workforce while growing our revenue. I would recommend Grantlun to anyone that is interested in having a knowledgeable no-nonsense party on their advisory board.
Grant Lungren has been a tremendous asset to our company. He has helped us establish and define our corporate structure as well as aided us in the implementation of business processes that have allowed our company to grow. I personally, rely on him for his knowledge and insight to our industry – someone that I can lean on. We were taught very well how to run the equipment and get the jobs done. We just weren’t taught how to run a business. That’s where Grant comes in!
Grant’s knowledge of systems and procedures and, more importantly, his ‘been there, done that’ experience has helped us navigate the many pitfalls inherent to a growing construction company. In addition, Grant’s many contacts and nationwide exposure allow us to ‘benchmark’ ourselves against similar companies. Grant’s most important contribution has been to help me meet the company’s goals while at the same time meeting my personal goals for a balanced and full life.
The Ironworks ECM platform provides contractors with the systems, data, and equipment intelligence needed to run their fleets like a job: with a plan, schedule, and budget for every machine.
Traditional equipment management methods are no longer enough in today’s construction industry, where equipment costs are up to 60% of total direct job costs and every bid must be razor-sharp. While competitors rely on basic spreadsheets and last year’s data, Ironworks subscribers gain access to insights about their own fleet, powered by AI and drawn from millions of data points. Ironworks isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a complete transformation in how construction companies manage their fleet assets.
