The operating system for specialty contractors

Everything from solicitation to final retention.

Solicitations, preconstruction documents, drawings, crews, time, daily reports, and job cost in one platform that feeds whatever accounting you already run. Built by a contractor who got tired of paying nine apps to do one job.

The problem

You are paying nine apps to do one job.

Every one of them holds a piece of the truth. None of them talk. So your office re-types what the field already knows, and the field calls the office for what is already written down.

BirdDog replaces the stack. One login, one workflow, one source of truth. Enter it once, in the place the work actually happens.

How it works

Most software manages documents. BirdDog manages work.

Everything that happens in BirdDog creates the next thing. Nothing gets entered twice, and nothing waits on someone remembering to type it up.

Platform

Sold on outcomes. Built for the work.

Ten jobs your shop already does every week. BirdDog does not add software to them. It takes the typing, chasing, and re-entry out of them.

Preconstruction & bids

Never lose a bid in an inbox again.

Every solicitation lands in one pipeline with its documents: specs, scope, numbers, follow-ups, and a weighted forecast. You always know what is out, what is due, and who owes you an answer.

Drawings

Everyone is always looking at the latest drawing.

The drawing is the workspace, not a filing cabinet. Mark it up, measure it, assign work from it, and push a screenshot to the crew that needs it. Superseded sheets retire themselves.

Timekeeping

Payroll is ready before crews leave the parking lot.

GPS-verified punches with cost codes and classifications, approved in the field, exported clean into your accounting system. No chasing paper on Friday.

Daily reports

Foremen stop writing daily reports.

Clock-ins start the report, the day fills it in, and a first draft is waiting for the foreman to approve. Signed, filed, and searchable without anyone typing at 6pm.

Workforce

Tonight, tomorrow's plan is on every phone it affects.

Drag crews across projects and see who is free, certified, and closest. The plan pushes to the field the moment you set it. No group text roulette.

Toolbox talks

Weekly safety documentation is done in minutes.

Talks are generated, delivered, signed, and filed with the project record. When the GC or OSHA asks, it is already there.

Crew cost & forecasting

See the overrun coming while you can still fix it.

Composite crew costs tracked live against the estimate, labor burden included, forecast to completion. Bad news arrives in week two, not at closeout.

Jurisdiction & wage

Prevailing-wage work flags itself.

Projects carry their jurisdiction, wage assignments follow automatically, and certified work is flagged before the first hour is punched.

Prefabrication

Know what ships this week without walking the shop.

Track prefab from shop to site: what is built, what is staged, what is on the truck. The field knows what is coming before it lands.

Tools & equipment

Stop re-buying tools you already own.

Tools, equipment, and vehicles: who has it, where it is, and when it is due back. The truck stops being a black hole.

Product

Real product. Not a mockup.

The board your office runs the week from, and the pipeline your estimators live in. Shown with demo data, running today.

BirdDog workforce board showing crews assigned across four active projects, with an employee bench and crew ratios — Monday morning, answered: who is where, who is free, and what every crew looks like.

Accounting

Your accounting keeps the books. BirdDog runs the work.

BirdDog is not accounting software and never asks you to switch books. It is the operational layer above them: exports match your chart of accounts and cost codes, built per customer and reconciled to the cent.

Built by a subcontractor

We ran crews before we wrote software.

BirdDog started inside a working subcontractor's shop, built to run our own crews before it ran anyone else's. Payroll on Friday, projects on Monday. The software exists because the spreadsheets broke first.

That is why there are no features designed for a demo and no import that almost matches your cost codes. If it does not survive a project site, it does not ship.

Founding Contractors

Ten shops get in first.
Locked pricing, forever.

We are onboarding a small group of Founding Contractors: locked founder pricing for life, white-glove onboarding on a real project, a direct line to the founder, and a real vote on the roadmap. BirdDog already runs a working electrical shop every week, payroll on Friday and projects on Monday. Yours is next.
