Stop under-pricing
the long jobs.

Custom software and AI for specialty trades contractors. Bids that hold up, job costs you see while the work is happening, punch lists the foreman actually keeps current.

Where margin disappears

The losses you only see at closeout.

Every specialty contractor knows these patterns. The job that should have made 18 percent made 4. Nobody can say exactly where it went.

Saturday bids

Big bids take a Saturday because nobody trusts the historical labor numbers. The estimator is reconstructing them in Excel.

Labor underbid on long jobs

Six-month jobs eat the margin because the labor curve was straight-lined off a six-week reference.

Job costing is reactive

You find out the loss after closeout. By then the foreman is on the next site and the lesson is gone.

Punch lists on WhatsApp

Items live in screenshots and group threads. Half the punch is closed before anyone updates the record.

Foreman to office gap

The foreman runs the site from memory. The office runs from yesterday’s timesheet. They are not looking at the same job.

Callbacks fall in cracks

Service callbacks come in by phone, by text, by referral. Half get scheduled. The other half become reviews.

What we build for contractors

The operating layer between the office and the field.

We do not replace QuickBooks or your TPA. We build the layer above them that closes the bid-to-closeout loop, with tools the foreman actually wants to use on the iPad.

AI bid review copilot

A copilot that reviews your draft bid against your historical job-cost reality and flags where labor, materials, or scope is light.

  • Reads from your QuickBooks and Procore history
  • Flags long-job labor curve mismatches
  • Suggests change-order language for known edge cases

Real-time job costing

Crew time and material draws roll into a job-level P&L the office sees the same day, not at closeout.

  • Time entries from the foreman’s iPad land in costing
  • Material draws tagged at the job and phase
  • Alerts when actual labor crosses estimate threshold

On-site punch list

An iPad-first punch list with photo capture, owner sign-off, and an audit trail that survives the job closeout.

  • Designed for field, not for back office
  • Photo + voice note per item, queryable later
  • Generates the deficiency report at closeout

Callback handling voice agent

A voice agent that handles service callbacks, schedules the dispatch, and lands the ticket in your system without the office picking up.

  • English and Spanish by default
  • Calls the customer back if the dispatch slips
  • Hand-off to a human when the case is unusual

Change-order capture

A workflow that makes the change order easier to create than to skip, with photo evidence, scope language, and owner sign-off captured on site.

  • Templates by trade and common scenario
  • Pricing pulled from your historical labor
  • Lands in QuickBooks or your billing system

Foreman to office bridge

A daily handoff workflow that puts the foreman, the project manager, and the office on the same page without a 7am phone call.

  • End-of-day field summary, two minutes
  • Tomorrow’s plan and crew assignments
  • Auto-generated weekly job health report

Your ranges depend on starting baseline. The free assessment returns a range tied to your operation.

Stack we plug into

Coexists with the tools the office already trusts.

QuickBooks does not get replaced. Procore does not get migrated away from. We build the layer that fills the gaps between them.
