Brightward modernizes the operations of general contractors.
Most of a contractor’s office work is paperwork and coordination. Brightward partners with business leaders to simplify and automate with AI, on the systems they currently run.
Workflows we improve
Each engagement takes on one of these at a time.
- Design to estimate.The drawings and specs read, takeoffs and scope breakdowns produced, past costs pulled, and the estimate assembled for your estimator to price.
- Subcontractor coordination and change communication.Scope packaged to subs, quotes compared in one shape, design details locked, and every change written up for the owner.
- Submittals, RFIs, and project correspondence.The project inbox read, submittals and RFI responses drafted, and a running log and decision record kept.
- Pay applications and lender draws.Sub pay apps, lien waivers, and backup rolled into the billing package, reconciled against the schedule of values, with gaps flagged before the owner or the bank sees them.
- Scheduling, closeout, and the rest.Schedules built and updated from scope and sub commitments, then the same pattern for closeout, safety, and HR paperwork.
Who it’s for
Commercial general contractors that are too big to run on the owner’s memory and too small to have a full time IT employee. Tenant improvements, restaurants and hospitality, light industrial, mixed use: the jobs that run on pay applications, lender draws, and a long list of subs.
Where else we work
Any office that runs on documents, approvals, and outside parties is work we take on.
