The foreman can see the rough-in is behind. The homeowner just sees a mess.
On a build site, progress is physical - you can touch the framing, hear the concrete curing. But none of that is legible to the homeowner checking in, the architect reviewing milestones, or the inspector verifying compliance. The information is all there. It just reads differently depending on who's looking.
The client calls every other day asking what's happening. Meanwhile you're on-site actually doing the work.
Between the site and the client, between trades that share walls but not vocabulary, between the foreman who thinks in phases and the homeowner who thinks in rooms - every boundary is a translation. And on a build site, you don't have time to be a translator.
Quote and scope
The homeowner's vision becomes a structured project. Both sides can see it - the homeowner sees rooms and finishes, the foreman sees phases and dependencies.
Between trades
The plumber's rough-in is the tiler's starting point. Dependencies keep the sequence legible across trades without the foreman mediating every handoff.
Progress without the phone call
Site photos, completed phases, and timeline updates. The homeowner sees their home taking shape without calling to ask.
Handover
Photos, warranty docs, and inspection records. Everything that lived in the foreman's head is now findable by anyone who needs it.
Phase-based workflow
Quote, procurement, demolition, build, finishing, handover. Your columns match the job.Site photos on tasks

Communication in context
Questions between trades, updates for the homeowner - all on the task, not in separate group chats.Phases have dates, and delays show themselves.
Every build phase has a deadline. Approaching and overdue items surface automatically - the foreman catches the slip before the homeowner notices.
Every trade knows their scope, and sees the full picture.
Assign tasks to crew members and subcontractors. Each person sees their own work front and center - but the full board is always one tap away. No silos between trades.
Group by room or by trade.
Bundle tasks into containers - "Kitchen", "Bathroom", "Electrical". The homeowner reads by room. The electrician reads by trade. Same project, both make sense.
Critical path visible, not buried in the foreman's head.
Flag what blocks everything else. Critical items get visual urgency across the board - the crew sees the sequence, the homeowner sees what matters.
Works from the job site
Snap a photo, update a task, move on. Everything works on your phone - no laptop, no office required.
Trades-friendly simplicity
No learning curve to speak of. If you can use a messaging app, you can use this.
The homeowner stops calling
They see progress as it happens. The update phone calls disappear because the information is already there.
