One slipped inspection should move the schedule, update the handover date and tell the affected trades — automatically. That cascade is the whole problem, and it is what we build for.
The flow
Before anything is designed we map this for your business specifically. The sequence below is the general shape of it — the version in your head, written down, is where a build actually starts.
Scope, allowances and price agreed, with the contract terms that will govern every change after it.
Tasks sequenced with dependencies — framing before inspection, inspection before drywall — and a handover date derived from the chain.
Subs booked against dates that depend on the tasks before them landing on time.
Third parties on their own calendar, whose availability you do not control.
Scope moves. Pricing, approval and schedule impact all have to move with it.
Punch list, documents, warranties, and a client who has been asking about the date for weeks.
Where it breaks
These are the patterns we see repeatedly in this work. We have not measured your operation, so there is no percentage attached to any of them — that number would be made up, and you would be right not to trust it.
5 failures across the 6 steps above — and 2 steps that hold fine without a system. Select a step to isolate it.
What we build
Every capability below is something we have shipped, not something we could imagine shipping.
Move one task and every dependent task moves with it, including the handover date. The chain is computed, not maintained by hand.
See what a proposed slip would do to the downstream chain and the handover date before accepting it.
What a three-day slip would cost, before anything moves. Eleven tasks, seven trades and the handover date are shown first — accepting is a separate decision.
When a date shifts, the system names exactly which trades are affected and notifies them — so the re-notification is not a thing someone has to remember.
One slipped inspection, six tasks moved, and the seven trades that need re-notifying — with the two already dispatched flagged for a phone call rather than an email.
Scheduled, tracked, and wired into the dependency chain, so a failed or delayed inspection propagates instead of sitting in someone's inbox.
Recording a failed inspection. The finding, the re-book date and every downstream date move in one action — including the handover the client has already been told.
Priced, approved and applied to both the contract value and the schedule in one action, with the history kept.
A change order priced and scheduled together. Approving it moves the contract value and the dependent tasks in one action, so the two cannot quietly disagree.
Progress, documents and outstanding items from the same database the office uses — not a status email someone had to write.
The client portal, signed in as the homeowner. It reads the same schedule the site office reads, so the date on it cannot drift from the date on the board.
Purpose-built demos, not client screenshots. Our clients haven't given permission to be named, so the companies, people and figures shown are invented. The capabilities are not.
These are systems we have actually connected in client builds. Anything with a documented API is workable — these are the ones already done.

A short call, no deck. We ask how the work moves through your business today and where it stalls, then send a written scope and a fixed price before anything is built. If we are not the right fit, we will say so on that call.
