Quick Navigation

General contractors, remodelers, and specialty trade builders handle complex budgets with dozens of moving parts. Yet, many builders only realize they lost money on a project months after the final walkthrough when all invoices finally trickle in.

Eliminating Change Order Creep

Verbal change orders are the number one cause of disputes and lost revenue in construction. A tailored contractor platform allows superintendents to create change order documents with photos, materials, and labor estimates directly from their phone, requiring a client's digital signature before a single nail is driven.

Real-Time Budget vs. Actual Monitoring

By linking timecard GPS punches, supplier invoices, and subcontractor draws to specific job phases, contractors get an instant visual dashboard showing whether a project is tracking under or over budget, enabling course corrections before margins evaporate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does job costing software track expenses in real time?

Foremen and project managers snap photos of receipts from lumber yards or supply houses on site, which are immediately tagged to specific cost codes (e.g., framing, plumbing, electrical).

Can clients digitally sign change orders on the job site?

Yes. When an unexpected issue arises, contractors generate a digital change order on their tablet, and the homeowner or client signs it on the spot before work proceeds.
