Operations

Run the job on the same record you sold it on.

A job is created when its project is marked Won, or by the office with Create job. It carries the customer, the estimate, the material list and the budget. The office plans and buys from it; the crew works from it on their phones.

Run the job

In use internally

Job board, schedule and crew assignments.

Every job sits on one board by stage. Book it on the schedule, assign the crew, and open the job record to see the customer, quote, plans, materials, budget, tasks and field reports in one place.

Crew phone app

In use internally

The crew's phone is part of the job.

Crews see their jobs and tasks, clock in and out against a job, and file field reports with site conditions from the jobsite. The office sees the same job on the desktop.

Employee tasks with plan sheets attached.
Mobile time clock by job, with a payroll export.
Field reports and site conditions.
Jobsite weather on the job.

Hours are recorded and exported; they are not turned into labor costs automatically.

The crew's job list on a phone: a sample job marked Working now and You're on this job, dates, who's on it, my tasks, and Directions, Weather and Clock in.

The CoreBraced time clock on a phone, clocked in on a sample job, with travel, switch-job and clock-out controls and the start of My work.

The crew phone's My work list: the crew member's sample jobs and tasks with priority, due date and Started / Done buttons.

Tasks, weather and delays

In use internally

Tasks on the desktop, weather on the jobsite.

Assign work to people on a job and follow it to done. Each job shows the forecast for its site so the schedule can move before the crew shows up to rain.

Weather-delay records: a PDF of the recorded weather for the delay days, each fact with its source and time, plus the office's notes.

A weather-delay record documents what happened. It is not a claim that a contract allows extra time or money.

The CoreBraced task list: add a task, then tasks grouped by person with sample jobs, due dates, priorities and status, including follow-up tasks from the sales pipeline.

Purchasing

In use internally

Material list to purchase order to delivery.

The job loads its material list from the estimate. Check the lines you're buying and they become draft purchase orders by supplier. Approve them, place the order with your supplier, then receive the delivery with photos.

Material lists from the estimate.
Draft purchase orders and approvals.
Deliveries and receiving with photos.

You place the order with the supplier. CoreBraced tracks it and never sends anything to a supplier.

Budgets and cost tracking

In use internally

Original budget, revisions, committed and actual.

The budget starts from the quote. Revisions are kept as versions, purchase orders count as committed, recorded costs count as actual, and the forecast shows where the job is heading.
