Construction software for crews who are never at a desk

The paperwork that decides whether you get paid gets written at six in the evening, in a truck, from memory. Daily reports, time cards, extra work, photos of what was covered up. We build the software that captures all of it on the job and sends it straight into the system your office already runs on.

Where the record lives

The job runs in the field. The money runs in the office

Between those two places sits a text thread, a photo roll and a superintendent’s memory. Everything billable has to survive that trip.

  • 01The field. Crews, subs, deliveries, weather, equipment hours. Written on a paper form if you are organized, in a group chat if you are busy.
  • 02Project management. Procore, Autodesk, a shared drive, or email threads with attachments. Holds the drawings, the requests for information and the submittals.
  • 03Accounting. Sage, Foundation, QuickBooks. Owns job costing, payroll and the pay application, and it needs the field record before it can bill.
  • 04Compliance. Insurance certificates per sub, lien waivers, safety sign-offs, and the hour-by-trade record a prevailing-wage job asks for.

When those four are separate, the cost of a change order is discovered a month after the work was done.

What it costs

Four pieces of paper that decide a margin

None of them are complicated. All of them get written late, and that is where the money goes.

01

The daily report

Who was on site, what got done, what stopped the work and for how long. Written from memory a day later, it stops being the thing that wins a delay claim.

02

Time, by job and by cost code

Hours arrive on Monday as a handwritten sheet with no cost code. Payroll runs anyway, and job costing gets a number it cannot use.

03

Extra work with no paper

A super agrees to something in the field and the crew does it. With no signed change order and no photo, you are negotiating from memory against somebody with a document.

04

The pay application

Percentages complete, stored material, retainage, waivers from every sub. One missing certificate holds the whole draw, and nobody knows which one until the owner calls.

STRADA DEV · Software

What we build for contractors

STRADA DEV is our software division. We start with one trade and one job, then widen it. Each service has its own page.

  1. /01Mobile app development A field app built for gloves and bright sun: daily report, clock-in by job and cost code, photos tagged to a location, signatures captured on the spot. It works with no signal and syncs later.
  2. /02Custom software development Change orders with approval history, equipment and tool tracking, a sub portal for insurance certificates and waivers, and a job dashboard your project managers will open daily.
  3. /03Systems integration Field hours and quantities landing in your accounting system against the right job and cost code, so job costing reflects last week instead of last month.
  4. /04Process automation Reminders for the sub whose certificate expires next week, a daily report that assembles itself from what the crew logged, and an alert when a cost code passes its budget.
FAQ

What contractors ask on the first call

Let’s talk about your project

They will use one that takes less time than the form it replaces, and that is a design decision, not a training problem. A daily report should be four taps and a photo. We watch a real day before we draw a screen, and we start with one crew so the second one learns from someone they trust.

The app holds everything on the phone and sends it when the phone finds a connection, with photos queued separately so a big upload does not block the report. The crew never waits on a spinner, and nothing depends on a tablet in the trailer being switched on.

Keep it. It holds drawings, requests for information and submittals well, and we connect to it rather than compete with it. What we build is usually the field capture and the accounting handoff, which is the part those platforms leave to your office staff. The detail is on the systems integration page.

That changes what the time card has to capture: hours by worker, by trade classification and by job, logged the day they happen. We design for that first, because capturing it later is not possible. Your payroll provider and your attorney still own the filing itself, and we make sure the data they need exists in one place.
