Framing · day 8
Workers on the main roof surface with no visible fall protection. Flagged as a safety issue and sent to the PM.
Receipts scan themselves, hours land on the right phase, and BLT tells you a line is going over before it does. Field and office looking at the same numbers, all day.

The PM is on site with a phone, moving fast. The manager is at a desk running numbers. Each gets the interface that fits the hand it’s in — and neither is ever looking at a different version of the money.
Every expense, photo, approval, and budget change feeds a live event stream. BLT speaks up twice: at 6 a.m. with the standup, and the moment a number stops making sense. It states a fact, shows the arithmetic behind it, and offers exactly one thing to do about it.
Roof deck went up yesterday. Two safety flags need a photo before the inspector arrives Monday. Nothing else is waiting on you.
Not “framing at 85%” — “framing at 85% with $2,400 pending that will push it to 96% on Friday.”
Compares spend across every active build. Foundation running 38% higher on this lot than the last two gets named, sourced, and dated.
Fall protection missing on a roof deck, house wrap below grade, a panel left open — flagged with the reason written out and routed to whoever owns the phase.
“What’s our average cost per square foot for foundation work?” BLT answers from your transactions, not a template. It never decides — it tells you what happened.
Your PM is at the supply house four or five times a week. Ten seconds with a camera replaces ten minutes with a keyboard — and the manager sees the photo next to the extracted numbers, so “what was this for?” stops being a question.
Extraction is indigo, the human decision is orange. Every line item traces back to a project, a phase, and a budget category — with the photograph kept alongside so the manager can check it without opening anything.
Every photo the crew takes flows into a chronological feed with the hour and the location on it. No status meeting reconstructs what happened on Tuesday.
Workers on the main roof surface with no visible fall protection. Flagged as a safety issue and sent to the PM.
Tap, shoot, pick a phase, done. It queues for upload even with no signal, so nothing gets skipped.
Photos attach to crew time entries. Anyone reviewing the week sees what was built next to what it cost.
Safety and quality issues are flagged before a human opens the album, with the reason in plain language.
If an active job goes days without a photo, it says so. Staying current stops being someone’s discipline.
A baseline locked at kickoff, the current plan with every change logged, money that’s approved but not yet spent, and actuals rolled up from real transactions. You always know where you started, where you are, and what’s already promised.
| Line | Baseline | Current | Committed | Actual |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lumber | 18,000 | 21,000 | 2,400 | 14,300 |
| Hardware | 2,500 | 2,500 | — | 3,140 ↑ |
| Sheathing | 9,000 | 9,000 | — | 8,610 |
| Framing labor | 6,000 | 6,000 | — | 2,150 |
| Phase total | 35,500 | 38,500 | 2,400 | 28,200 |
Locked the moment the project kicks off. What you agreed to before a nail was driven. Immutable, and always shown for comparison.
The live plan. Every change carries a timestamp, a who, and a why — the change log is a feature, not an audit burden.
Approved and not yet spent. It renders in indigo because software is holding it, and it’s the number most builders never see until the invoice lands.
Rolled up from real receipts, real hours, and real sub payments. Never typed. If a dollar moved, it’s here.
Price the job by phase, then watch the ledger hold to it.
Approved before the truck leaves the yard, not after the invoice lands.
Photographed on site, read by BLT, posted to a phase.
Close the week, split card from wire, lock the period.
There is no module you have to buy back. The free plan is the whole product on one project.
Safety and quality issues read off site photos, with the reason written out and routed to whoever owns the phase.
Time clock with GPS, schedule, photos, and messaging — with a code instead of an app download.
Direct messages and project channels, with comment threads on every expense, photo, and request.
A live timeline of every photo and update, auto-tagged to a phase and kept with the hour it happened.
Phases, crews, and what moves when one slips. BLT will draft the first version off your budget.
A read-only view of the build for the owner, with change orders priced, sent, and signed in the same place.
Photo documentation, budget, hours, and BLT AI from the iPhone already in your pocket. Rows are built for a gloved hand, the camera is one tap away, and a dead zone is a state rather than an error.
