Why construction operators use the ltv:cac ratio.

Calculate the ratio of customer lifetime value to acquisition cost. Industry benchmark is 3:1 — below that, you're subsidizing growth; above 5:1, you're probably under-investing in acquisition.

Construction operators face thin margins, labor scarcity, and a software estate that rarely talks to itself. SAZ works with general contractors, builders, trades, and developers to modernize estimating, project controls, field ops, and back-office systems — and to embed AI where the gains are largest.
