AI for construction companies and contractors
Change orders get promised in the field and lost by billing. Estimates, change orders, subs, and field reporting live in trucks, texts, and binders far from the back office.
For construction companies and contractors, Oliver Labs LLC looks at how this work runs today, tells you the one thing worth fixing first and builds it into the tools you already use.
Where the work leaks
Run the model: just one $1,000 change order slipping through each week is over $50K a year, and undocumented field work quietly shaves margin off nearly every job.
The tools you probably run
Most construction companies and contractors run on some mix of Procore, Buildertrend, JobTread, CompanyCam, Contractor Foreman, Bluebeam, QuickBooks, and Sage.
Project management and accounting only talk through brittle third-party connectors, and the field stays disconnected from the office.
What we would build
An operating layer that captures change orders the moment they happen in the field and carries estimates, schedules, and updates straight through to the invoice.
What stays with a person
Pricing, scope decisions and anything that commits the company stay with your project managers and estimators. The system captures what happened in the field and brings it to them, so nothing depends on memory.
What a first call looks at
We usually start with how change orders get from the field to the invoice, how daily reports reach the office and how estimates turn into schedules, then pick the leak that costs the most margin.
