Aeion Construction for Specialty Trade Contractors
Specialty trade contractors — HVAC, electrical, plumbing, steel, concrete, roofing, mechanical — have different operational needs than GCs. Focus is on per-trade efficiency: technician dispatch, fleet management, parts inventory, multi-job-per-day scheduling, customer service, per-call profitability. ServiceTitan / Buildertrend / Jobber dominate this space at $300-1500/user/month. Aeion Construction + Fleet + Inventory + Customer Service delivers the complete operational platform. Walkthroughs for HVAC service, electrical install, plumbing residential, steel erection.
How Specialty Trade Differs From GC Work
A general contractor manages the overall project — coordinating multiple subcontractors across long-duration jobs that run months to years, with cost coding, scheduling, and compliance tracked per project. A specialty trade contractor operates on entirely different rhythms. You execute a specific trade — HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and the rest — sometimes as a sub to a GC, sometimes direct-to-customer. Your technicians run multiple jobs per day, you track profitability per call, you manage a fleet of service trucks, you dispatch per-tech, you run customer-service workflows, and you carry parts inventory as both warehouse stock and truck stock. Above all, you serve repeat customers, not just new construction.
