# Relationship & Influence

Understanding Who Influences Decisions in Construction Projects

Relationship & Influence is a Baucore function that analyzes stakeholder involvement, engagement patterns, and historical project interactions to make influence paths visible within construction sales projects.

## The Problem

In construction sales, a single person rarely makes the decision. Architects specify products, engineers approve them, contractors influence them, distributors order them, and owners or developers validate them. Most sales teams lack a structured way to understand who influences outcomes in a specific project.

Unclear decision-making structures within projects

Confusion between formal roles and real influence

Engaging the wrong stakeholders at the wrong time

Losing influence when projects move between phases

Relying on assumptions instead of verified relationships

## THE SOLUTION

Relationship & Influence Analysis turns fragmented stakeholder information into clear, project-specific influence insight. Baucore connects stakeholders to projects, tracks their involvement across phases, and analyzes engagement patterns over time. You see who matters, when they matter, and how influence shifts as a project progresses. Baucore treats relationships as dynamic elements of project execution, not static contacts.

## Showcase

### Stakeholder involvement tracking

Records which architects, engineers, contractors, owners, and other participants are connected to a project

### Role vs. influence visibility

Differentiates between formal roles and actual influence based on engagement and interaction history.

### Engagement pattern analysis

Analyzes how frequently and in which context stakeholders interact with the project.

### Cross-project relationship context

Connects stakeholder behavior across multiple projects to reveal recurring influence patterns.

### Phase-dependent influence insight

Makes visible how influence changes between design, bidding, value engineering, and execution phases.
