Join.To.IT builds software for general contractors who coordinate many trades on one programme: subcontractor scheduling, budget and change order control, submittals and RFIs, and the document trail that protects you when a dispute arrives.
A general contractor manages other companies more than a single crew. Subcontractor schedules shift, RFIs wait on designers, change orders move faster than the budget updates, and the document trail lives across email, shared drives, and a project management product that does not match how you buy out work.
We build systems that hold the programme together: trade schedules with dependencies, committed versus actual cost, structured RFI and submittal flows, and daily reports from site that feed the same record used in owner reporting and closeout.
Start with the control that costs you money when it slips — usually change orders or subcontractor scheduling — and extend from there.
Manage the companies doing the work: scope, contracts, insurance status, schedule commitments, and performance history.
Programme schedules with dependencies between trades, so a slip in one package shows its downstream effect immediately.
Committed cost, actual cost, and forecast against the original budget, visible before the month-end report.
A structured path from site instruction to priced variation to approval, with the evidence attached to each step.
The formal document flow with designers and owners, tracked by due date rather than buried in an inbox.
Daily reports, inspections, snag lists, and safety records captured on site rather than typed up afterwards.
A general contractor handles contracts, drawings, specifications, RFIs, and daily reports on every project. AI is most useful reading that volume, finding the relevant clause or detail, and drafting the routine correspondence your project managers write every week.
Our Join.To.IT AI development team connects these capabilities to your project documents, cost data, and correspondence history.
Ask questions across specifications, contracts, and drawings, with answers cited back to the exact document and section.
Draft RFIs and responses from site notes and referenced documents for the project manager to review and issue.
Compare submitted data against specification requirements and flag discrepancies for a human reviewer to confirm.
Turn site notes and photos into structured daily reports and weekly owner updates without manual rewriting.
Summarise the cost and schedule implications of a proposed variation from your own project data.
General contractors run accounting, estimating, and design coordination in separate systems. We integrate accounting and ERP platforms, estimating tools, drawing and BIM viewers, document storage, e-signature providers, and payroll or timesheet systems.
Cost codes, commitments, and invoices stay aligned between project controls and finance, so your monthly reporting stops depending on manual reconciliation.
Construction management products are built around a standard project delivery model. General contractors differentiate on how they buy out work, control change, and report to owners, which is exactly where a fixed product forces compromise.
How you package scope, price subcontracts, and hold commitments is commercial logic, not a configuration option.
Your cost structure and reporting breakdown rarely match a vendor default, and mapping between them loses accuracy.
Variations priced late or approved informally are the most common source of disputed cost at the end of a project.
Client reporting formats are part of how you win repeat work and should not be limited by a vendor template.
When subcontractors and site staff cost extra per seat, the people with the information stop using the system.
The same Join.To.IT delivery process, applied to subcontractor coordination, cost control, and site reporting.
Review how you bid, buy out, schedule, control change, and close out projects, including the spreadsheets doing the real work.
Define the data model for projects, cost codes, commitments, and documents, plus integration with accounting and estimating.
Design interfaces for project managers, site teams, and owners, keeping site capture fast enough to happen the same day.
Build project controls in increments, usually starting with change orders or subcontractor scheduling.
Test cost roll-ups, approval routing, document versioning, and offline capture in site conditions.
Roll out on one project first, then extend across the portfolio and refine reporting with real cost data.
We choose technologies based on project volume, your accounting platform, and how much capture happens on site rather than in the office.
Practical answers for GC owners, project directors, and commercial managers.
