Construction and trades
An AI employee for your contracting business.
Crew hours coded to the job, pay applications with every lien waiver, change orders signed, and each sub's insurance certificate on file.
Meet Iris.
Pick your office's software below and watch Iris at work in it.
What does your office run on?
You ask. Iris does the work.
First duties
What Iris usually takes on first.
Code crew hours to the job and prepare payroll
Iris takes the hours your crews text in or clock and enters them in payroll against each job and cost code. You see the totals and the cash needed, and nothing runs until you approve it.
Send pay applications with every lien waiver
Each month she puts together the pay application from the schedule of values and approved change orders, and chases every sub's lien waiver. Each pay application waits for your okay before it goes out.
Turn field tags into signed change orders
She prices the extra work from the field tag the same day. Once you okay the price, she sends it for the customer's signature.
Keep every sub's insurance certificate on file
She collects each sub's certificate, watches the expiration date and asks for a new one before it lapses.
The work
What keeps a builder's office busy.
- Timesheets keyed in against each job. Crews write hours on paper or text them in, and the office keys each one into payroll against a job and cost code. Prevailing-wage jobs add a certified payroll report every week.
- Change orders priced days after the work. Extra work starts on a verbal yes or a field tag, and days pass before the office prices it and gets it signed. Work done without a signature is hard to bill.
- Pay applications held for lien waivers. Each month's pay application is put together from the schedule of values and change orders, then held until every sub's lien waiver is in. One missing waiver holds up the whole draw.
- Sub certificates tracked before the audit. If a sub has no current certificate of insurance on file, the workers' comp audit counts what you paid them as your own payroll. Keeping every certificate current means chasing each sub before theirs expires.
- Field invoices fixed before they post. Technicians' invoices from service calls reach the office with missing items or duplicate lines. Someone checks each one against the ticket and the price book before it posts.
Unlike the general-purpose AI employee bots on the market, Iris works in the software a builder's office already uses. How we're different
