Giving an inch, taking a foot

The work got built. The invoice never caught up.

What's actually happening

One extra, from the ask to the invoice. The branch underneath is where the money goes.

DAY 3 · 10 AM She comes out mid-build Could we run the wall two courses higher.
DAY 3 · 10:02 AM Foreman says yes Because it genuinely is no problem.
DAY 3 · THE SPLIT It gets built Four hours and three pallets.
DAY 31 Someone remembers Three weeks after the invoice went.
DAY 31 Nobody raises it Now it would feel like an ambush.
DAY 3 Nothing gets written down No price, no record, no timestamp.
DAY 10 The invoice comes off the contract The wall got taller. The invoice did not.

Then the job ends, the invoice gets written from the contract, and nobody remembers the wall got taller. Or someone remembers, but it is three weeks later and raising it now feels like an ambush.

What it costs you

Your best-margin work, built for nothing.

The machine is already there. The crew is already paid for.

4 hrs And three pallets, on one verbal yes in a back garden.
$1,500 A typical extra, at your highest margin, never invoiced.
3 a season A number most owners never see, because it appears nowhere.

How we fix it

Same ask, same foreman. The approval happens before the wall does.

DAY 3 · 10 AM She comes out mid-build Same ask, still a good sign.
DAY 3 · 10:01 AM Foreman opens the form On site, on his phone.
DAY 3 · THE SPLIT Price comes off your rate card No guessing, no accidental discount.
DAY 10 The invoice is already right Nobody has to remember anything.
DAY 10 Paid at your best margin Machine on site, crew already there.
DAY 3 · 10:02 AM She gets the change by text The work and the number, together.
DAY 3 · 10:03 AM She taps approve That is the record, timestamped.
DAY 3 Job total updates itself Before anything is built.
ninety seconds, before the build

The automation

Change orders on the spot

The approval happens before the work does, from the foreman’s phone, in about ninety seconds.

  • Foreman opens a form on site and enters what is being added
  • A price comes off your rate card
  • The homeowner gets a text with the change and the number
  • She taps approve, and that is the record, timestamped
  • The amount is added to the job total, so the final invoice is already right

Nobody has an awkward conversation, because the awkward conversation happened by text, at the moment it was easy, before anything was built.

What it doesn't fix

It won't stop customers asking

That is normal and mostly a good sign.

It won't help if your foreman doesn't use it

This one lives or dies on the crew opening the form, which is a training question more than a software question, and it is part of what we set up with you.

And it cannot price work you have not rate-carded

Things you have never quoted before still need you.
