CONSTRUCTION PLATFORM
Milestones, photos, permits, crew. You cannot skip a stage.
The job management software a construction crew runs a build on: staged milestones, a photo required before you move on, permits and crew tracked against the job. Keep the tools you already run, like Buildertrend, and switch when you are ready. Included with every Command Center tier. Works for a remodel, a roof, a ground-up buildout, or a pool.
See it in action
The Blue Water Construction home shows 12 active jobs, $451,660 collected, and 11 draws due alongside the items needing attention. The office can open a job or draw from this overview before continuing the work in that record.
Inside Command Center
The stages
Staged milestones, and why you can't skip one
The stage list is configured to the build in front of you, whatever the trade. You can't close a stage without the photo that proves it was done. The exact stage list for a given trade, like the nine a pool build runs, lives on that trade's card.
Project Management
Full construction project tracking from contract to startup.
Required Photo Documentation
No phase closes without the photo record to back it up.
Crew Assignments
Who's on site, on which phase, tracked against the schedule.
A hard photo minimum, per stage
Each of the nine stages has its own minimum photo count, 18 in total, and the stage cannot advance without them. A build like a pool with its own detailed checklist, such as the required photo library on Pool Construction, layers the trade's own detail on top of that floor.
The Evidence
How does the photo record hold up if a customer disputes a repair?
A record that can't be quietly edited
Each jobsite photo gets a checksum: proof the file wasn't swapped later. SHA-256, so the proof holds up if it's ever questioned.
Permit & Compliance Tracking
Permits and compliance status tracked against every project, in real time.
Subcontractor Validation
License and insurance validation on every subcontractor before they're on site.
The Client View
What does the client see in the portal?
Site Plans
Site plans attached to the project, visible to everyone who needs them.
Material & Finish Selections
Customer selections captured and tied to the build, not a separate spreadsheet.
Client Portal
A client portal showing real project status, not a guess, not a phone tag.
GPS on the record
Where was each entry taken?
Every crew login and site visit is GPS-stamped, job-site photos and video carry a geofence check, and the site record shows where each entry was taken. The site record keeps the GPS stamp on the file, so where a photo was taken travels with it. When two saved sites are close enough that the phone's own GPS accuracy cannot tell them apart, the app declares the ambiguity and asks which one, rather than guessing and filing the photo to the wrong job.
GPS-stamped site records
Site survey and layout
Measure the site, mark the obstacles, place the plan.
Measure the site, mark the obstacles, and the layout engine places the plan; a geofence is set around the job. The same site survey and layout, home on Venue is available on the job. For aerial site capture, type an address and the aerial arrives already scaled, or paste a Google Maps screenshot or drop a file, then draw the usable area and the things that cannot be built on, and nothing is uploaded until you save; satellite imagery can be a season out of date, so anything the photo cannot confirm still needs the tape on site.
Site survey and layout
Photo Markup
Point at the problem, on the photo itself.
Draw an arrow, a callout, or a highlight right on the photo, so a crew member knows exactly what you mean, a homeowner can see exactly what was found, and a dated, marked-up photo backs up the record if it is ever disputed. The original photo is never touched: markup is stored separately and drawn on top, so the unmarked photo the camera actually captured is always there.
Arrows, shapes, and text
Point at the exact spot, circle it, or write a note directly on the photo.
Blur and redact
Blur a license plate or a face before sharing a photo with an insurer or using it as marketing, without touching the original.
The original stays intact
Markup is layered on at view time. What the camera actually saw is always recoverable.
Jobs & draws
From a signed contract to a draw schedule.
A contract becomes a numbered job
Turn a contract into a numbered job with site details, deposit and a schedule of phases and draws.
Hold, resume, close and warranty
Hold, resume and close jobs under a policy you set, and keep warranty records.
Draws, balances and accounting exports
Track draws, additions and balances per job and export for accounting; recording a payment is a record, not a card charge.
Price book options become change orders
Offer the customer priced options, and an approved option becomes a change order.
Field work
Change orders, daily logs and a phone that works offline.
Change orders with a drawn signature
A change order records the price, the approval it needs and the customer's drawn signature; this is not a third-party e-signature certificate.
Daily logs, work orders & selections
Keep daily logs, work orders, customer selections and notes on the job.
Field entries queue and replay
Crew entries made on a phone are queued and replayed when a connection returns; filing a stop does not close a phase or move money.
Route ordering, arrival and departure
Order the day's stops and record arrival and departure when route and location features are turned on.
Equipment & subcontracting
Vehicles, serials, bids and the truck.
Vehicles, tools and inspections
Assign vehicles and tools, run an inspection checklist, and a failed item can open a repair work order.
Equipment serials and crew performance
Track equipment serials and installs, and read technician and operating summaries.
General-contractor items and closeout
Track bids, items and closeout checks for a general-contract job.
Materials, budget and the truck
Track materials, budget, purchase orders and deliveries, and note what was used or missing from the truck.
Calculations & trades
Load calculations, roof take-offs and trade-specific records.
Load calculations and roof take-offs
Save an electrical load calculation, or trace roof planes to get area, squares and bundles; these are calculations from what you enter, not engineering sign-off or aerial data.
Trade-specific job records
Trade-specific records such as event run sheets, treatment details and inspections sit on the same job.
Spreadsheet import and support
Import customers from a spreadsheet and file support tickets; customer email needs the mail connection set up.

Works alongside the rest of the platform.
Construction hands off the finished build to Service for ongoing route work, and every jobsite photo is backed by the same Proof module that both platforms embed. See how the pieces fit together on the full platform overview, or read the full comparison against the old way of running a build.
