Run the whole build in one place

From the first estimate to handover, every part of a job on the one project, in the order a build actually runs. It is on the network now. Set up a project and run it end to end from one place.

Estimating and takeoff

Priced quotes, cost-code estimates and takeoff runs

Price a job off the drawings, with the quantities read from the plans and lined up against your cost codes, so your estimate is ready to send. A unit rate is a planning figure, never a payment.

Schedule

Critical Path Method scheduler over the task network

Lay out the tasks and their dependencies and see the critical path, the float, and where a slip actually bites, so you know which dates are the ones to protect.

Variations

Guarded variation state machine with dual approval over 10%

Raise a variation, price it, and route it for a decision. A variation worth more than a tenth of the contract needs a second person to approve it, so a large change can never slip through on one signature.

Requests for information

RFI state machine (raise, answer, close)

Ask the question that is holding up the work, get it answered against the job, and keep the trail, so the reason a decision was made is never lost to a chat thread.

Daily logs and defects

Daily logs, progress photos and the defect / punch list

Log the day, attach the photos, and track the punch list to closed. When a defect is queried later, the record of what was found and fixed is right there on the job.

Claims and retention

Period status reports, retention releases and DLP windows

Draft a period progress report, track retention held against the job, and open the defects liability window. This models the state of a claim. It does not move money, and any release is authorised by a person.

Handover

The operations and maintenance handover binder

Assemble the operations and maintenance binder as the job finishes, so the client is handed a complete record instead of a folder of loose PDFs.

These capabilities are live on the network. They record and organise the state of a build. They do not move money, and the acts that a professional must sign, such as certifying a milestone or approving a large variation, stay with a person.
