Our story

Built from inside the problem.

CNB Connect didn't start as a consulting idea. It started on job sites and in estimating offices, fixing the same problems over and over for one company.

Most companies don't lack effort. They lack a system that matches how the work really happens.

For more than ten years, Charles Black worked inside commercial construction: estimating bids, managing projects, running safety programs and keeping the technology going. The same pattern showed up everywhere. Good people working long hours, with the important information scattered across spreadsheets, inboxes and one or two people's memories.

Software vendors promised to fix it. Usually the field ended up doing extra data entry, the office kept re-typing, and the new tool was quietly abandoned.

So he started building fixes himself, from the inside, with the people who'd use them.

How it came together

The path to CNB Connect

On the job

Learning where work breaks

Preconstruction, bid days, ground-up project management and safety oversight. Seeing first-hand how an estimate turns into a job and where the handoffs fall apart.

Building fixes

Tools the crews actually used

Timekeeping and employee data (TimeX), mobile safety and QC reporting, field reports and onboarding. Designed with foremen, not just for the office.

Running the change

Projects that had to land

Microsoft 365 administration, new-division setup, process rollouts and owner-directed initiatives across a company of more than 110 employees, with a $100M+ annual bid pipeline.

Adding AI carefully

Automation with a person in charge

AI phone intake, lead routing and automated follow-ups, always with a clear handoff to a real person.

Today

CNB Connect opens its doors

The same approach, offered to other construction and field-service companies. CNB Connect is part of Crosspointe Solutions, Inc., based in Atlanta, Georgia.
