We speed up how you already work

Most “process improvement” walks in and forces your crew onto new software. Formwork does the opposite: we study the way your team actually works, find where the hours leak, and build automation into the tools you already run.

01 / Site conditions

A field report you’ll recognize.

  1. N1

    Your PM is re-entering the same data into Procore and QuickBooks — every job, both directions.

  2. N2

    Your estimator is working until midnight because the bid package landed Thursday and it’s due Monday.

  3. N3

    Your office manager is chasing submittals by email because nobody trusts the tracking spreadsheet anymore.

These aren’t technology problems. They’re workflow problems — and new software won’t fix them if it doesn’t fit how your team actually operates.

02 / The difference

We build around what works.
We fix what doesn’t.

YOUR OPERATION FORMWORK — BUILT AROUND IT, NOT OVER IT

D1

Typ. consultant detail

  • Rips out the system your crew already knows
  • Forces new software nobody asked for
  • Weeks of downtime and retraining
  • The team quietly goes back to the old way
  • You paid for disruption, not results
D2

Formwork detail

  • We study how your team actually works first
  • Automation built inside the tools you already use
  • No new logins for the crew to learn
  • Rolled out quietly, with no downtime
  • You pay for hours back, not for change
03 / Scope of work

Find the slow parts.
Build around them.

Formwork is a small shop that fixes the back-office grind in construction businesses — the bidding, the follow-ups, the paperwork that eats your week.

03.10

The Work-Study

We spend a couple of days mapping how your operation really runs — where the hours go, where things stall, and what’s worth fixing first. You get a plain-English plan, whether you hire us to build it or not.

 03.20

Custom Automation

We build the fixes — automated follow-ups, bid prep, scheduling, paperwork, reporting — tailored to your exact workflow, not a one-size template.

 03.30

Built In Your Tools

Everything plugs into what you already pay for — Procore, Buildertrend, QuickBooks, spreadsheets, email. No new platform, no migration, no relearning.
04 / Sequence of operations

Three phases. No disruption.

PH-01

Work-Study

We watch how your team actually works — the bids, the hand-offs, the paperwork. You get a clear map of where the hours go and the fixes worth doing first.

PH-02

Build

We build the automation inside the tools you already run. Rolled out quietly alongside your current process, so nothing stops while it proves out.

PH-03

Measure & Tune

We track the hours saved against where you started and keep it tuned as your jobs, crew, and season change. The value is something you can see — not a slide.

A work-study is fixed-fee, and you keep the plan either way. Hire us to build, and the fee is credited toward the work.

05 / Observed time leaks

The same leaks show up on every takeoff.

Every construction business is different, but where the hours go is surprisingly similar.

Ref Observed condition Measured
TL-01 Re-entering data between project management and accounting software that don’t talk to each other 8–12 hrs/wk
TL-02 Chasing subcontractor bids, submittals, and RFIs through email threads nobody can find 5–8 hrs/wk
TL-03 The night-before scramble on bid packages — manually cross-referencing specs, drawings, and scope 10–15 hrs/bid
Running total 13–20 hrs/wk + 10–15 hrs/bid
05B / Hours-back takeoff

Price the leak before you price the fix.

Use your own numbers. This planning estimate shows what repetitive office work may be costing before any automation is proposed.

06 / Project team

Built by people who know the jobsite.

Dominic spent years watching the same problems eat hours across every GC and sub he worked with — the double-entry, the bid scrambles, the submittals lost in email. Noah spent years building systems that automate messy operations without forcing people onto new tools. They met in Denver and realized they were solving the same problem from opposite ends. Formwork is what happened next.
