General contractors
Stop losing projects to slow bids and change-order chaos
A general contracting project involves a bid, a subcontractor team, a schedule, and inevitably a change order or three — and the paperwork for all of it usually lives in someone’s inbox. We connect the intake, the bid, and the change-order process so a project starts on an accurate scope and stays documented when that scope changes.

Where the work leaks out
- Bid requests that sit unread until close to the deadline
- Scope details lost between the walkthrough and the estimate
- Change orders handled by phone call with no written record
- Subcontractor scheduling that conflicts because nobody sees the whole calendar
- Client updates that only happen when the client asks
- Punch-list items that get missed at closeout
Not every inquiry is the same
Different work needs a different path
Routing rules are yours. We write them during design so each inquiry goes where it should.
New construction or major remodel
Larger scope, longer timeline, multiple subcontractor trades.
Bid or invitation-to-bid project
Formal submission process with drawings and a deadline.
Change order
A scope change mid-project that needs its own documentation and pricing.
Smaller renovation or repair
Faster-turnaround work, still needing a clear scope and schedule.
The connected process
From first inquiry to handoff
Each step feeds the next, so nothing gets re-typed and nothing waits on someone remembering.
Every step is configured to your process. We do not impose a workflow on your business.
Intake
What gets captured before anyone follows up
The questions are yours. We write them during design so the record is complete before your team spends time on it.
Photos, plans and documents attach to the same record, so nothing lives in a text thread or an inbox.
What stays human
We are not replacing judgement. Nothing here estimates a job, evaluates a site, prices work or decides what to bid.
- Pricing and scope decisions stay with your team
- Proposals wait for a person to approve them
- Anything urgent or unusual escalates immediately
- You approve every message before it goes live
Why it matters here
A verbal change order is a dispute waiting to happen
The gap between a phone-call scope change and a signed change order is where most contractor-client disputes start. Getting every change documented and approved in writing, on the same record as the original scope, is what keeps a project — and the relationship — defensible.
Built on what you already run
We connect the systems your team already works in rather than adding another place to check. If something you own genuinely cannot do the job, we will say so.
Examples, not requirements. Running something else? Ask us.
General Contracting: common questions
No, we connect to what you already run, whether that is Buildertrend, Procore, or a spreadsheet-based process.
Yes, change requests, approvals, and cost impact can be tracked on the project record instead of a phone call and a memory.
Trade scheduling can be tied to the project timeline so conflicts are visible before they happen.
Punch-list items can be tracked to completion instead of getting lost in a final walkthrough.
Most general contracting builds are live in 2 to 4 weeks.
