Own your project record

Built for subs, not for the GC

GC portals control your access, your data, and your timeline. BuildOps gives specialty contractors a project record they actually own: structured, searchable, and available long after the job is done.

What makes BuildOps different

Built from the ground up for contractors who run projects, service, and everything in between. Not adapted. Made for the work.

Commercial work isn't an add‑on

Most platforms started in residential and stretched to fit. BuildOps starts with the complexity of commercial work.

Run the work in one connected system

Field, office, finance, and sales — all in one place. No duct-taped tools, no double entry, no dropped balls.

OpsAI is built in, not bolted on

OpsAI is already in your workflows. It recaps the day, calls out risks, and gives every role a clear next step.

Common Questions

Your questions on document control, answered

Do I still need the GC's portal if I use BuildOps for documents?

Yes, and that's the point. BuildOps doesn't replace Procore or the GC's system. It gives you your own project record that you control, so when the GC archives the job, your RFIs, submittals, and history stay with you.

Can my field team create RFIs on mobile?

Yes. Foremen and crews can create RFIs directly from drawings on their phone, pinned to the exact location with photos and markup. The office sees the issue in full context without a single phone call.

What happens to my project documents after closeout?

They stay in BuildOps, and are searchable, structured, and tied to the project. Unlike GC portals that lock access after the job ends, your full document trail is available for audits, disputes, and future bids.

Can I control who sees financial vs. operational files?

Yes. Project File Management includes role-based permission controls. Operational docs stay broadly accessible while sensitive financial and contractual files are restricted without losing structure or search.

How secure is our operational and financial data?

BuildOps features a bidirectional, ledger-sync engine. Data flows from the field directly into your ERP's job costing and payroll modules, ensuring Financial Truth without manual re-entry.

How do RFIs and submittals connect to change orders?

RFIs, submittals, and daily logs build a documented trail that anchors your change order requests. When the GC pushes back, you have timestamped, linked, and structured backup instead of digging through email.

How does drawing version control work?

Upload and manage drawing sets inside BuildOps. RFIs, punch items, and tasks link directly to drawing locations. When a new revision comes in, your team always builds from the current set without guesswork.
