How much does a system cost?
Nothing for the first 30 days: builders with five or more jobs get the whole office free, no card, with their open permits already in. After that you keep only the parts you used. Setup starts from $1,500, then $500 for each part you choose, and Care starts from $250 a month plus $20 a part. The smallest keep is $2,000 once and $270 a month; the whole office — all ten parts — comes to $6,500 to set up and $450 a month, and every $500 paid counts toward it. One part alone, such as the Permit Clock, is $500 once and $20 a month with no setup. Built-for-you work is paid in four 25% stages, each before it starts; the first pays for a clickable version of your own system, and your written approval of it becomes the scope. The twelve extras on the shelf — client portal, crew app, QuickBooks sync and the rest — are $500 each plus $20 a month; a new extra built for your company alone is priced at its size, $1,500, $2,500 or $4,000. Bigger companies — several locations, entities or departments — are quoted as one fixed price. After that, a monthly plan keeps it running, priced by what it includes rather than how many people use it: With all ten parts, Care is $450 a month (hosting, backups, security, bug fixes, next-business-day replies and up to 2 hours of changes), Grow is $850 (same-business-day replies, up to 6 hours of changes and a quarterly review) and Partner starts at $1,500 (up to 12 hours, a monthly planning call and 2-business-hour replies on urgent issues). Paying a year up front gets two months free.
Can I see it working before I pay?
Yes. The live demo on this site is a sample general contractor, Nouman GC, running on clearly marked sample data — not a screenshot or a video. Twelve stops walk through quotes on your limit, follow-ups, one page per job, change orders, receipts from the field, what a job left you, invoices, who owes you, sub payouts and who sees what. Type your company name and the screens carry it; the name stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere.
What happens after the call?
We set a 15-minute look on the phone, Tuesday to Friday at 8:30 AM or 5:30 PM Miami time, and I show you your own open permits already in your system. The free month starts there: 30 days, no card, and you send photos or voice notes instead of typing. On day 30 you keep the parts you used, or keep nothing and it goes read-only, with nothing deleted.
How long does it take to start?
The free month starts at your 15-minute look, with your open permits already in. Work built for your company alone is different: a core build takes roughly three weeks from an approved written scope. Larger systems take longer, and when they do, the timeline is written into the scope before work starts rather than discovered halfway through.
What does it actually do?
It is the back office for a general contractor, run on your rules: quotes priced within the limits you set and followed up on the days you pick, one page per job, extra work priced and signed before the crew starts, receipts and photos from the field landing on the right job, what every job left you after subs and materials, invoices and who owes you, and sub payouts ready for your OK. The office uses it on a computer and the crew on their phones, each in their own language, and your team sees the work without seeing your money.
Will it make decisions for me?
No. It won't make decisions for you — it only carries out yours. You write the rules: the price limit your team can quote up to, the days a quote gets followed up, what counts as needing your yes, and who sees what. The system follows them, and anything outside them comes to you.
Who is it for?
General contractors, residential and light commercial, and the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, concrete, drywall, framing and remodel companies that work alongside them, whose business has outgrown the spreadsheet and the WhatsApp group — from a crew of a handful of people to companies with several locations and departments. The systems are built for US trade contractors. English and Spanish are ready today, and any other language your crew speaks — Portuguese, Polish, Vietnamese, Arabic and others — is added as part of the setup, with right-to-left screens where the language needs them. Calls run Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 8 PM Miami time, and everything else happens over text, WhatsApp or email.
What if my crew speaks a language other than English or Spanish?
Then the system is set up in their language. The screens are built to be translated and each person picks their own language, so the office can work in English while a foreman reads the same job in Portuguese, Polish, Vietnamese or Arabic. English and Spanish are ready today; other languages are added during your setup and checked by a native speaker before your crew sees them, and right-to-left languages such as Arabic get proper right-to-left screens.
Do you only build for contractors?
Contractors are the focus, and the construction system is where most of the work goes. The same foundation already runs systems for dental and medical practices, restaurant groups, insurance agencies, gyms and multi-location franchises — all in the system library on sample data — and a business outside construction is welcome to write and ask.
Can it run a company with several branches?
Yes. Several locations, entities or departments can run on the same system, each with its own view and numbers and all of it rolled up for the owner — the multi-location franchise system in the library shows how that looks. A company that size is quoted as one fixed price after the call, and usually sits on the Partner plan, from $1,500 a month.
Who owns the system once it is built?
You do. On final payment the delivered system is yours to use in your business for good, and your data is yours — exportable at any time at no cost, including if you leave. It runs on infrastructure I maintain, which is what the monthly Care subscription pays for, so you never look after a server. Reusable framework components stay part of the practice and get reused across projects, the way any studio keeps its own toolkit.
