Three things, every job, without asking
Quantities off the drawing, a programme that knows its own float, and a money position that reconciles. Drawn below from one sample job so the numbers tie out across all three — the same way they do on yours.

The gap
Your office work, lined up before you get to it.
It reads your drawings, specs, quotes, contracts and email, then lines up the work: quantities, submittals, RFIs, notice deadlines, draws. Every item shows the line it came from. Nothing moves money or goes out the door until you approve it. Built for specialty trades, residential and commercial GCs, public work, and developers.
Your morning
From bid notice to paid draw
One job record from the first bid notice to the last holdback release — set up for a trade shop or a full GC.
01
Find work
Public bid notices from Canada and the US. Check the fit, keep the bid documents, track addenda.
02
Quantities
Walls, rooms and doors measured from CAD PDFs. Door and finish schedules read for you. You approve before you issue.
03
Buyout
Level sub and supplier quotes side by side. Quote prices go straight into your own rate library.
04
Run the job
Submittal register built from the specs. RFIs drafted from email. Subs send insurance and submittals through a link. Critical path and delay notices tracked.
05
Get paid
Progress draws built from your estimate. Holdback tracked, invoices matched to POs, job cost and WIP ready for your bank.
Time and money
Hire first. Desk second. You keep the rest.
Price it against the hire, not against other software. Takeoff starts against an estimator at about $6k a month loaded. The full office — four roles, about $24k a month loaded — opens once your team runs jobs on it every day. Paying annually saves two months.

The three questions, answered in public
Where does my data live?
Your own tenant, row-level security on every table, drawings in a private bucket that no public URL reaches.

How quantities are built
Every number traces back to the drawing.
Quantities come from exact linework and schedule counts, and a person approves them. AI reads your documents and shows where each item came from — it never sets an order quantity or a price on its own.
