Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Virtual CTO services for construction companies

What is a Virtual CTO and how does it work for construction companies?

A Virtual CTO provides senior technology leadership and strategic guidance on a part-time or project basis rather than as a full-time employee. We work with your construction business regularly to develop technology strategy, guide major decisions, oversee IT teams, and ensure technology supports your project delivery and business objectives. You get executive-level construction technology expertise without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.

How much does Virtual CTO service cost?

Virtual CTO pricing depends on the level of engagement required and complexity of your construction business. Costs typically range from £2,000-£8,000 per month depending on time commitment and scope. This represents significant savings compared to a full-time CTO salary (typically £80,000-£150,000+ annually plus benefits).
