Built for small & mid-size
commercial contractors.
construction.live is unified field intelligence for the $5M–$100M commercial GC and the electrical, mechanical, and specialty subs they hire. We turn every signal from your jobsite into bulletproof payment protection.

Most contractors lose $1M a year because the daily log never got created.
It's not because the work didn't happen. It's because the super was busy running three jobs, the PM was buried in pay apps, and the daily log app on the phone never got opened. Eight months later, the owner disputes a change order. The work is real. The contract supports it. But the documentation isn't there.
Enterprise GCs solve this with dedicated documentation staff and software priced for committee approval. The $5M–$100M commercial contractor — where the PM is sometimes the owner and one super covers multiple jobs — doesn't have a tool built for them.
We built construction.live to be that tool. Voice notes. Photos. AI outbound calls. Integration with the systems your owner already uses. Unified into one defensible record. Pay apps get approved. Change orders get won. Margins get protected.
Contractors lose $1M a year to documentation problems.
That's the gap we close.
Disputed pay apps. Denied change orders. Challenged T&M. The work happened. The contract supported it. The documentation arrived too late.
Documentation is the #1 cause of disputed payments.
Industry data shows contractors lose $1M+ a year to disputed pay apps, denied change orders, and challenged T&M. Almost all of it comes from documentation that arrived too late or was too thin to defend.
Daily-log apps have an adoption problem.
Most field-reporting tools require typing on a phone. Most supers don't use them. The result: logs filed days late, half the day's events forgotten, no proof when the dispute comes.
Change orders get denied on documentation, not merit.
60 to 80 percent of change orders contractors lose come from documentation problems. The work happened. The contract supported it. But the paper trail started weeks too late.
Small and mid-size commercial contractors are underserved.
Enterprise construction software is built and priced for large GCs with dedicated documentation staff. The $5M–$100M commercial contractor — where margins are thin and one disputed change order matters — gets no purpose-built tool.
A few things that shape how we build.
Daily logs only matter if they protect payment.
Most field-reporting tools treat daily logs as compliance paperwork. We treat them as the front line of cash flow. Every voice note, every photo, every AI call summary is a piece of payment protection — or it's not worth capturing.
Adoption is the only metric that matters.
A daily-log app with a 30 percent fill rate is worthless. Every product decision we make optimizes for whether the super actually uses it. That's why we built voice-first input, AI outbound calls, and offline-first sync — not because they're elegant, but because they're the only way logs actually get created.
Construction-trained AI, not generic AI.
A general LLM that doesn't know what 'rebar not on the prints' means isn't useful on a jobsite. Our models are trained on construction context — they understand the difference between an extra and a back-charge, between an unforeseen condition and a coordination issue. The intelligence is the product.
Built for the contractor doing the work, not the consultant studying it.
Enterprise construction software is designed for committee approval at large GCs. We're built for the $5M–$100M commercial contractor where the PM is sometimes the owner and the super is covering three jobs. Different problem, different product.
The dispute always comes later. Document like it's coming.
Eight months from now, the owner will dispute a change order. The contractor with timestamped voice transcripts, geotagged photos, and quantified scope changes from day one wins. The contractor relying on memory loses. We help you be the first one.
Built for commercial. Not for everyone.
Small and mid-size commercial GCs and the subs they hire. If you run $5M–$100M projects and your margins live or die by how well the field gets documented, this is built for you.

Built by people who've been on the losing side of a change-order dispute.
Construction operators and AI engineers. We know what gets disputed and we know how to document it before the dispute starts.
