Three things it does, on made-up numbers

These are made-up examples: the names, addresses and dollar figures are invented, and each card says so. They show a drawing priced into an estimate, a question about a job answered from its records, and a weekly client update drafted for you. You check each one before it goes anywhere, and you send it.

Ask a question

Ask where the job’s at

A short answer from Pulse, with the records it used listed underneath so you can go and check them. If there's no record for something, the answer leaves it out.

Sample

“Where is the Example Road job up to, and is anything blocking us?”

The frame stage is complete and signed off, with lock-up tracking to 18 August ^[1]. One item is waiting on you: the kitchen variation of +$4,200 is drafted and sitting with the client for signature ^[2]. The open request for information on the balustrade detail was answered by the engineer on 2 July, so nothing there is blocking the next claim ^[3].

Weekly update · Example Road · week ending 4 July

Hi Sarah, A quick update on your build this week. The frame is up and has passed its check, so we are on track for lock-up by 18 August. Windows are booked in for the week after next. There is one thing for you: the kitchen change we discussed comes to an extra $4,200. I have sent it through for you to look over and sign when you are happy. Everything else is running to plan. I will send the next update this time next week. Thanks, Dan
