A general contractor running on spreadsheets. Bids are assembled by hand and every number is typed twice.
Every company on these pages is fictional — a drawing, not a client. Nothing here is a result or a number. Your shop gets the same drawing, computed from your own answers.

Three things that would run on their second brain
An agent reads, decides and drafts — and anything it sends passes the owner first. An automation moves and computes, on a schedule, and sends nothing.
AGENTBid-to-contract document set
One entry — the takeoff — becomes the proposal, the contract, the schedule of values and the change-order template, all in the company's own wording. The owner approves before anything goes to the client.

AUTOMATIONJob-cost numbers
Pulls every job's cost from the sheets and the books into one view, so estimated-versus-actual is read, not rebuilt.

AGENTSub-scheduling assistant
