Extra work that never gets billed
A change gets agreed to in the field, nobody writes it up, and the money is gone by closeout.
FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS & BUILDERS
Get every change order signed and billed.
Bids, schedules, daily logs, subcontractor paperwork, change orders and pay applications all in one place. We build custom software that keeps jobs on schedule, gets you paid for the extra work, and keeps clients in the loop without extra phone calls.
Founder-led software team based in Atlanta, working with companies nationwide.
WHERE TIME GOES
The work is on the job site. The paperwork shouldn't hold it up.
Subcontractor paperwork chased by hand
Insurance certificates expire and lien waivers go missing until a payment is held up or an owner asks.
Clients calling for updates
Owners and homeowners call the office to ask what happened this week, because the daily logs never leave the trailer.
WHAT WE BUILD
Software designed around how your team works.
Not another subscription you bend your company around. We start with the workflow that costs you the most time and expand from there, working alongside the estimating and accounting software you already use.
- Bid and estimate tracking from invite to won or lost
- Project schedules with milestones everyone can see
- Daily logs with photos, filed from the field by phone
- Subcontractor insurance certificates and lien waivers tracked automatically
- Change orders clients approve from their phone, carried onto the next pay application
- Pay applications, draw requests and retainage in one view
- Weekly client updates, review requests and referral follow-ups
- Getting found when people ask AI assistants for a contractor nearby

Common questions
Do we have to replace our estimating or accounting software?
Not necessarily. We start by learning what you use today. Usually we build around your estimating, scheduling and accounting tools and connect the gaps between them; sometimes it makes sense to replace one piece. We will tell you which makes sense on the call.
Can our supers and subs use it from the job site?
Yes. Field screens are designed for a phone: supers can file daily logs with photos, and subcontractors can upload insurance certificates and lien waivers from a link without needing a login.
What does a project cost?
Most companies start with a $3,500 workflow audit (credited toward the build), then fix one workflow, typically $25K to $50K. Connected platforms run $50K to $100K. A useful comparison is the hours your office spends each week re-typing, chasing and searching; we can work through that estimate together on the call. Scope and price are confirmed after discovery.
How long does it take?
Most focused projects take about 6 to 8 weeks. We build in stages, so your team sees and tests working software along the way, and we confirm the timeline after the discovery call.
Who owns the software?
You do. When the project is done, you own the code and the system we build for you.
What happens after launch?
Every project includes 90 days of fixes at no charge. After that, you can choose a monthly care plan, starting at $600 a month, covering hosting, monitoring, updates, fixes and small changes. Or get help as needed at $150 an hour. Bigger additions are scoped as their own small projects.
What happens on the call?
A free 30-minute phone call about how your team works today and where it gets stuck. Afterward we send you a short written summary of what we heard and what fixing it could look like, whether or not we work together. If custom software isn't the right fit, we'll say so.
