A custom app for building contractors

Most trouble on a build starts small. A homeowner asks for a wider doorway, you agree on site, and nobody writes it down. Three weeks later the extra framing and the electrician’s second trip show up in your costs but not on the invoice. Receipts ride around in the truck console until the ink fades.

Then there is the paperwork you cannot skip. A sub’s insurance certificate expired last month. The inspector wants photos of the insulation before drywall goes up, and the drywall crew is already unloading. The client calls on Friday asking when the kitchen will be done, and the honest answer lives in four different notebooks.

With an app like SiteBook, you talk into your phone at the end of the day and it writes the daily log. Snap a lumber yard receipt and the cost lands on the right job. Describe a change in one sentence and it drafts the change order, which the client signs on their phone before the work starts.

It also watches the things you never have time to check. It warns when a job runs over budget or behind schedule, flags missing photos before an inspection, and reminds you when a sub’s license or insurance is about to lapse. Each week the client gets an update with photos, so the calls slow down.

It suits remodelers who run two or three kitchens at a time, general contractors juggling subs across several sites, and small builders who keep the books themselves at night. The office manager, the site lead and the owner all see the same job, on a phone in the truck or a computer at the desk.
