Initial 90-day engagement, then monthly. Software subscriptions are paid directly by the client. Custom applications and major integrations are quoted separately.

Each proposal defines responsibilities, support availability and capacity limits. Field supervision and construction project delivery remain with your team. Results depend on your starting point, participation and implementation.

Your first 90 days

01 / Assess

Map the owner’s bottlenecks, agree on priorities and record baseline measures.

02 / Implement

Launch the agreed workflows, assign ownership and train the people using them.

03 / Improve

Review adoption, time saved and follow-through. Refine what works and set the next priorities.
