Linarc April Newsletter: Product Updates and Insights

📢 April CEO Message 🚀🏗️

Spring has sprung, and as we step into Q2, it’s time to double down on transparency, accountability, and efficiency.

In today’s fast-paced construction landscape, refining workflows, improving communication, and keeping projects on schedule isn’t optional—it’s essential. At Linarc, we’re dedicated to helping general contractors and trade contractors streamline operations with innovative tools that simplify project management and enhance collaboration across teams.

This month, we’re rolling out several powerful enhancements to reporting, feeds, media management, and cost tracking—and we’re excited to showcase them at the AGC Annual Convention in Columbus, OH, April 8-10. If you’re attending, stop by Booth #550 to say hello!

With our latest updates, you can generate shareable, customizable reports in seconds, sync media albums across teams for seamless progress tracking, and gain complete control over Time & Material (T&M) costs and change orders to prevent budget overruns and disputes. These enhancements are designed to keep your projects on track and your teams aligned—from the field to the office.

At Linarc, we’re constantly evolving to give you more control, more clarity, and fewer headaches. Your time should be spent building, not buried in paperwork. Whether it’s streamlining reports, tracking costs, or keeping everyone on the same page, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Here’s to a productive and successful quarter ahead!

With appreciation,
