Good Afternoon,
Are there any mechanical contractors or general contractors on this forum that use Asana to manage their workflows? If yes, would you be willing to speak with me? I want to better understand how I can leverage Asana for my business.
Thanks,
Joe
Hi,
I think you’ll have better luck talking to an Asana expert who knows a lot of different use cases and will tailor the answer to your needs! Have a look on iDO Tools - Improve Asana with our tools and automations to pick one.
We are a ~400 employee HVAC, Electric, and Plumbing trades company. We do New Construction work, Install/Replacement work, and Service work… both residential and commercial.
We use Asana in various ways in our company, so depending on what you’re considering I might be able to give some input/feedback based on our experience. That sound like what you’re looking for?
Yes! Would love to speak with you if you have availability.
We are a 35 employee company that focuses primarily steam/hydronic boilers.
We manage around 100 jobs at any given point in time.
We are using Asana currently but I believe we can be using it better.
Reached out to Asana consultants and have meetings setup for next week to review our setup.
That being said, I would love the opportunity to speak with someone like yourself to see how your team leverages Asana’s features and functionality for your operations.
Thanks so much,
Joe
hey I work as a contractor for a large firm. I am a specialist in foundations. I think that our company does use Asana in order to free up the workload and in general to help the contractors manage their time better. i feel like it helps people as well that are looking for general contractors to hire since they can get an answer faster and have their job done quicker. I find this very helpful as well since I am cable of managing my time better and I know for sure which projects I have at any given day. It also helps me keep my schedule as full or as light as I want it to be

I work as a consultant to a few regional contracting and service firms. Site, utility, and septic system services/contracting in specific. Employee count varies from 5-100 employee size with diversified contract/maintenance/service scopes.
Asana has been flexible enough to work for contracting/service teams regardless of their size. I would say the rollout for admin personnel is always smoother than field technicians. We have been somewhat successful in companywide rollouts, but the task-completion mentality for field technicians is very different for sequential projects (almost every task has a dependency) versus an agile professional environment.
We’ve experiemented with a two-perspective approach. One perspective is from business support function and the second from field operations (revenue-generating functions). Followed the Asana suggestion for executive buy-in>team leader buy-in>companywide buy-in.
A good strategy is to pick a single process and require everyone to coordinate using Asana and build from there. We found that individual stakeholders built out the rollout from there.
