Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server later, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address — so starting one size below the estimate is normally the cheaper mistake.
Which tiers suit Construction Companies
Including the ones that do not, and why — that is usually the more useful half.
| Infrastructure | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server | Not this one | An ERP or practice-management system needs a database tuned to its own workload, which a shared platform will not allow. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Enough for a small team, though the working set of a records system tends to outgrow a modest instance quickly. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Guaranteed memory is what keeps the database in cache, which is the single biggest factor in how fast these systems feel. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | The usual answer: a records system rewards a large, uncontended memory pool and consistent disk latency. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For large deployments, or where the database and application tiers are virtualized onto one physical host. |

Construction in South Boston, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the large band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Contractors | 8 vCPU · 128 GB · 4000 GB | Dedicated Server | Drawings supersede constantly, and building to a revision that was withdrawn last week is expensive. |
| Civil Contractors | 16 vCPU · 196 GB · 4000 GB | Dedicated Server | Survey and machine-control data arrive from the field in large daily batches. |
| Electrical Contractors | 6 vCPU · 64 GB · 900 GB | VDS | Test certificates are the legal output of the work and have to be produced on demand long afterwards. |
| Plumbing Contractors | 8 vCPU · 64 GB · 800 GB | VDS | Emergency call-outs mean dispatch has to work at three in the morning as reliably as at midday. |
| HVAC Contractors | 12 vCPU · 96 GB · 800 GB | Dedicated Server | The first cold snap and the first heatwave generate a year's emergency calls in a fortnight. |
| Roofing Companies | 8 vCPU · 128 GB · 3000 GB | Dedicated Server | Drone surveys have replaced ladders, and they produce far more imagery than the old paperwork did. |
| Building Contractors | 8 vCPU · 128 GB · 1000 GB | Dedicated Server | Cost tracking against a live programme is the query that decides whether the job is profitable while it is sti... |
| Construction Management | 16 vCPU · 196 GB · 4000 GB | Dedicated Server | Managing several projects makes the cross-project rollup the heavy query rather than any single job. |
| BIM Services | 20 vCPU · 320 GB · 4000 GB | Bare Metal | Clash detection on a federated model is a heavy, memory-hungry run that people wait on. |
