Loading the studio…
Plumbers, electricians, mechanical contractors, GCs, custom builders, landscapers — most construction businesses run on a quilt of QuickBooks, a CRM half-set-up, a quoting tool nobody trusts, and a job-site signal that drops twice a day. We work with trades businesses from 4-person specialty shops to 75-person GCs across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. What we don't do: try to replace the systems your foreman has been using for fifteen years. What we do: make those systems talk to each other, and make the office stop chasing the field with paperwork.
What we hear most often
Owner says
“We quote in one tool, invoice in another, schedule in a third, and nothing matches up.”
What it usually means
Classic 'middleware gap' — usually fixable in 2-4 weeks with a couple of well-designed integrations + a single source of truth.
Owner says
“Crews don't fill in their timesheets until Sunday night and then we can't trust the hours.”
What it usually means
Job-site time tracking that doesn't drain phone batteries (Hubstaff, ClockShark, ServiceTitan timesheets). Real-time, not retroactive.
Owner says
“Estimates take three days because we have to rebuild the materials list from scratch every time.”
What it usually means
Templated estimating + materials database tied to your supplier price feeds. Estimate time drops 60-80%.
Owner says
“Our website is from 2014 and clients tell us it makes us look smaller than we are.”
What it usually means
Plumber + electrician + GC websites are a specific genre — fast, photo-heavy, with the booking button above the fold. We build them weekly.
Owner says
“Mobile signal at job sites is awful and the foreman can't access the BIM model.”
How we help / 6 workstreams
We've integrated ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, Procore, Buildertrend, JobNimbus, and FieldEdge for clients. Our job is to make whichever you chose work — not to convince you the other one is better.
Templated assemblies, supplier price-feed integration (Wesco, EMCO, Andrew Sheret), automated takeoffs from drawings. We've seen 70% reductions in estimate prep time across the firms we've done this for.
Tools we work alongside
We’ve been deep in 19 of the tools your tradescolleagues already use. We don’t make you switch unless your current stack genuinely can’t do what you need. Usually it can — it just isn’t configured to.
Field-and-office integration project for a 12-person trades shop: \$12,000–\$28,000 one-time, depending on how many systems need to talk. Ongoing managed IT for trades: \$1,200–\$3,800/month including helpdesk, backup, monitoring. Website + local SEO setup: \$8,000–\$22,000 + \$1,500–\$3,500/month for ongoing SEO + content + Google Ads management. We're typically the cheapest serious option and the most expensive entry-level one.
Honesty section
If any of those describe you, tell us before booking and we’ll either recommend someone better suited, or scope a smaller engagement that makes sense.
Regulators in play
FAQ / What people ask first
All three, plus most of the second-tier alternatives. We don't have a preferred platform — yours is the right one if you've already committed to it.
Yes. Most general contractor security questionnaires (Concert, Beedie, Polygon, ICBC vendor questionnaires) ask the same 30 questions in different orders. We get you ready with the controls + the written evidence in one engagement.
Same-day across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley for active managed-IT clients. Scheduled trips elsewhere in BC. Drive time isn't billed for HQ-area work.
Only if it works on bad signal, doesn't drain their battery, and respects the way they already work. We spec for those constraints up front. If we can't meet them, we'll tell you before we build.
Usually we'll push you to use a templated assembly system inside ServiceTitan / Jobber first. Custom builds make sense for unusual workflows — but they're 5-10× the cost of a tuned configuration.
Other industries we work in
20 minutes is enough to know whether we’re a fit. We won’t pitch — we’ll ask better questions than the last vendor you spoke to.
What it usually means
Offline-first mobile apps + cellular boosters at active sites. Solved problem if budgeted upfront.
GPS time-tracking, photo documentation that auto-files to the job folder, daily log generation, materials-used reporting. Foremen do less paperwork; office stops chasing.
Cellular boosters for site offices, rugged tablets for crews, ToughBook-grade gear that survives a winter on a roof. We spec, source at our cost, and deploy.
Local SEO so 'plumber Abbotsford' shows you in the map pack. Photography of your actual work. Reviews automation that follows up after a job ends. Google Ads scoped to where you actually want jobs, not the whole Lower Mainland.
Bigger clients (Concert Properties, Beedie, Polygon) now send security questionnaires before awarding work. We get you ready — EDR, backups, MFA, written policies — without overbuilding for what your scale actually needs.
