Construction Software & AI Agents | Claude Partner + Training

I build custom software for construction and real estate companies. Estimating systems, scheduling systems, homebuilder ERPs, project portals, custom CRMs, and full operating systems shaped around how your company already runs. 14 years in construction operations at Pulte, a Fortune 500 homebuilder, in resource planning, scheduling, and trade partner coordination across Arizona and Southern California. I sat on the advisory board for two and a half years while Pulte built its own trade partner platform covering invoicing, schedules, and options. I've done the job your team is doing now, which is why the systems I build get used instead of getting abandoned back to the spreadsheet. What I build: 1) Construction operating systems. Estimating, scheduling, project management, and document management in one connected system instead of five spreadsheets that don't talk. 2) Estimating systems. Historical pricing, bid comparison, sub performance, and takeoff data your team can actually query. 3) Scheduling and resource planning. Crew and trade partner coordination, job costing, draw and budget tracking. 4) Homebuilder ERPs and trade partner portals. Options, selections, invoicing, schedules, division rollups. 5) Custom CRMs. Built around your sales process, not a generic pipeline you have to bend to. 6) AI agents and Claude implementations. Document processing, submittal and RFI review, research, and repetitive lookup work, trained on your own data. 7) Vibe rescue. If something from Lovable, Bolt, Replit, or Base44 got most of the way and stalled before production, I harden it and get it live, or train your team to ship it themselves with Claude Code. Delivered so far: custom scheduling systems for concrete contractors, estimating tools for commercial builders, multi-phase portal builds for home builders, CRM systems, PDF automation, and AI and Copilot training for C-suite leadership at a construction conglomerate in Arizona. Certified Anthropic Claude Partner, certified Airtable Admin and Builder, Make certified expert, and Softr certified partner ranked top 25 globally. So when I recommend a fast no-code build over a custom app, or the reverse, it's because it fits your situation and not because it's the only thing I know how to do. If you already know what you want built, send me the details and I'll tell you what it takes. If you're not sure yet, I run a paid readiness audit that maps how work moves through your operation and hands you a prioritized plan with real numbers, and you can take that plan anywhere.
