Estimates, permits, material takeoffs, invoices — every one rebuilt from scratch, most of it after the truck's parked. The wiring's the easy part. The paperwork is the tax on your week.

The jobs are dialed in. The admin around them is where the hours go.
No enterprise estimating platform you'll never fully adopt — just the fixes a shop your size will actually run.
We start with one conversation. You walk me through a normal job — from estimate to permit to material order to invoice — and where you keep rebuilding the same thing. I listen for the repetitive and the manual.
A few days later you get a short, plain-English report: what’s costing you time, what fixes each thing, what it runs a month, and where to start. Most of it connects tools you already pay for — some of it I can build once and hand you with no lock-in. The report is yours either way.
In audits like this, most shops get back around seven hours a week for roughly $60 a month in tools — before anything custom gets built.
An illustrative example — not a specific client.
“I rebuilt every estimate from a blank page, then typed the same materials into the supplier order and the invoice. Three times, same numbers.”
→ Estimates from reusable templates that flow into orders and invoices. ~6 hrs/week back.
