For builders
Find where AI saves time and protects margin in your contracting business
Custom builders, remodelers, and small developers. Between selections, change orders, draws, and subcontractors, the gap between a decision and the invoice is where margin disappears.
The gaps
Five operational gaps that cost builders margin
Change orders that never get written
The client asks on site, the superintendent says yes, the work gets done, and nothing reaches the contract.
Selections chased through text messages
The project blows past its allowances because the decision and the price live in different conversations.
Draw packages assembled by hand
Someone loses a day each month building what the bank needs from photos, invoices, spreadsheets, and memory.
Subcontractor invoices nobody has time to review
Duplicate charges and work already covered by the base contract get paid because no one has time to check every line.
The schedule that lives in one person's head
When the tile is late, the four trades behind it find out one phone call at a time.
The audit puts a dollar value on each gap using your numbers, ranks them by impact, and tells you where to start.
Proof
One number.
Avg per job in change-order work done but never billed, found across 93 jobs
This one's a pure gap: change orders approved and built on custom homes and remodels, but never tracked into the contract or the invoice. The audit finds your version of it.
What we build
Where the work goes.
Change-order capture
A photo and a field note become a priced change-order draft that is routed for review and approval while the details are still fresh.
Selections tracking
The allowance, client decision, and actual price stay connected, so an overage is visible when the selection is made instead of at closeout.
Draw-package assembly
Invoices, progress photos, and completion percentages are organized into the lender's required draw format without rebuilding the package from scratch each month.
FAQ
Straight answers.
We use Buildertrend or Procore. Does this replace it?
No. Those systems remain the project record. We connect the information they hold to decisions, photos, messages, and field activity that often happen outside their standard workflows.
Every one of our projects is custom. Does that prevent automation?
No. The build may be custom, but the way information is captured, approved, priced, scheduled, and billed still contains repeatable steps.
What happens if the audit finds that AI is not the right answer?
The audit says so. The roadmap identifies the process or system change that should come first, and you keep the roadmap either way.
