What I build
Tools for the jobs nobody wants to do at 9pm.
Every shop is different, so nothing here is off-the-shelf. These are the kinds of tools I build. Yours gets shaped around the way you already quote, schedule and bill.

02Scheduling
Crew & job scheduling board
BeforeThe schedule lives on a whiteboard and in one person's head.
AfterOne shared board that crews check from their phones, so nobody has to call around.
03Field
Timecards & daily logs

AfterThe crew logs hours and notes from the jobsite. Payroll totals are ready when you are.
04Billing

06Closeout

// Don't see your headache here? That's what the audit is for.
How it works
Fix the two things costing you the most.
No giant software rollout. I find where the hours are actually going, then build tools to take the worst of it off your plate.
01
Audit
I map how a job moves through your business, from the first call to the final invoice.
- Talk with you and your team
- Walk through how work gets done now
- Find where time leaks out
02
Pick the targets
Together we choose the two biggest bottlenecks, especially tasks eating your highest-paid people's time.
- Owner, PM & estimator hours first
- Clear before-and-after goals
- No surprises on scope
03
Build & hand off
I build the tools, set them up, and show your team how to use them, then adjust once they're in real use.
- Built around your process
- Works on office and phone
- Tuned after real-world use
Who it's for
Built for contractors, not tech companies.
If your office runs on spreadsheets, paper and a lot of phone calls, you're who I work with. You don't need to know anything about software. You just need to know where your week goes.

01
You talk to the person building it.
No account managers or ticket queues. The person who audits your shop is the one who builds your tools.
02
Only what you actually need.
Big contractor software makes you change how you work to fit it. These tools fit how you already work.
03
Measured in hours saved.
We agree up front which tasks we're fixing, so you can see the time it gives back.
