General contractors and construction

Your finished projects show how the work really got built.

RFIs, change orders, drawing revisions, approvals and the email threads around them. Years of completed projects record how real problems on site were answered. We find out whether yours could qualify.

Why general contractors

The plan always changes. Your records show why.

No project is built exactly as drawn. A question comes in from site, someone answers it, a drawing gets revised, a change order is priced and approved, and the schedule moves. Contractors keep that trail because disputes and payments depend on it. A finished project that kept the reasons behind each decision, not only the final drawing, shows how experienced people solve problems that never appear in a manual.

Could your records qualify?

  • Can you open a project from five years ago and still see its RFIs, change orders and revisions?
  • Does a change order record why the change happened, not only the price?
  • Have you completed dozens of projects over the years, not one or two?
  • Are these your company's own records, not only the owner's or architect's documents?

If most answers are yes, it is worth a conversation. These are the same things we ask on the first call. Estimates are fine, no files needed.

Your records stay yours. Identifying details are removed before anything is shared, and nothing is included without your approval. How it works →
