My father in law worked as a project manager for a locally big construction firm. Back in the 90s/00s they were basically sitting in a room with as many phones and fax machines as they could handle, with binders and Rolodexes of subcontractors spread around the tables.

Bid adjustments were a huge thing they had to optimize for and it created Seinfeld worthy situations.
