“I think [HeadsUp] has streamlined much of what we used to do through excel and hard copy faxing. As a management tool, [HeadsUp] gives us better access to more information quicker.  In some instances we have converted in-progress projects to [HeadsUp] because the scheduling, with our templates, is significantly easier. By adding the [use of] RFIs in HeadsUp, things do not get lost or forgotten. It also creates a history that is helpful in answering some of the 'after the fact' questions when it comes to production timing.“ Thomas E. Koontz, President, Superior Construction LLC

“I like the system and appreciate the excellent customer service. I certainly feel that [HeadsUp is] looking out for our best interests and pays attention to us personally. I don’t feel like an account number in my correspondence with [HeadsUp.]” Klaine Tanner, Project Manager, Superior Construction LLC
