ContractorOS
Lead capture, scope writing, estimating, proposals, agreements. Running in production at a licensed contractor. Available now for ten founding licensees.
Outcomes
Inquiry to a ready-to-send proposal in seconds, live inside the construction company this layer was built in. The trade still measures the same step in business days.
Lead follow-ups, proposal status, payment reminders, review requests. The operating layer handles the back office while you stay in the field.
The company behind this layer runs on it with one CEO, one project manager, and field crew. No office staff. Licensed, real revenue, today.
Why now
A generation of trade owners is timing out. Margin pressure is tightening at the operating layer. Software readiness has crossed the line at the small-contractor layer. All three land at the same time, in the same place.
Force 01
Roughly 41 percent of the construction workforce, management included, retires by 2031. Boomer-owned firms still make up about 51 percent of all U.S. small businesses, and 72 percent of those owners have no written succession plan. The handoff is structural, not optional.

Force 02
Field-craft wages average 36.54 dollars per hour, an 18 percent premium over typical private-sector pay. Materials are up 5 to 7 percent on top of post-pandemic baselines. The effective tariff rate on construction inputs hit a 40-year high in 2025. Firms absorb the gap out of gross profit.

Force 03
97 percent of construction firms now run construction-specific software daily, up from low double digits a decade earlier. Consumption-based pricing and mobile-first delivery narrowed the gap small operators historically refused to cross. The category is finally addressable at the bottom of the pyramid.

The owners are leaving. The math is tightening. The category is finally addressable. A construction operating layer at this moment is timed to a curve that does not repeat.

Every licensee compounds the system. Patterns proven on real jobs become patterns every operator inherits.

Not a software vendor pretending to understand construction. Construction people running software, grounded in work that passes inspection.
A licensed California contractor runs the company this layer was built inside. General building and painting, B and C-33 classification family. The operating layer started as the tool he needed to run his own company. It works. It is now licensable.
“I built the back office I wished existed when I started. It runs my company today. Now it can run yours.”
