priced out of the software they actually needed and I
got tired of it
Procore starts at ten thousand dollars a year
Buildertrend is residential only and everything else
in between was either too complicated too expensive orbuilt for someone sitting in a corporate office not
someone running a crew in the mud at six in the
morning
I built DATUM+ for the contractor who is on the job
site before sunrise and doing invoices after dark The excavator the grading contractor the utility
contractor the general contractor running three to
twenty jobs at a time who needs real tools at a real
price
Here is what DATUM+ actually does every single day for the people using it
On the field side contractors use the GPS daily log system to document everything that happens on a job
site with location stamped entries that hold up when a
client disputes work The equipment diagnostics tool
called MECH-IQ lets a foreman pull up a fault code on any major piece of iron right from their phone and get a plain language explanation of what is wrong how serious it is and what the estimated repair time looks like before they ever call a dealer The grade
calculator handles percent grade slope ratio cut and fill volume in cubic yards and elevation calculations all in one screen which means the guy running the blade or the excavator does not have to pull out a
separate app or do math on a napkin
Safety tracking and photo documentation round out the field side so every job has a paper trail that actually means
something
On the office side DATUM+ covers the full lifecycle of a construction job from before the first shovel hits the ground to the final invoice, Job costing tracks budget versus actual spend in real time so you know
exactly where you stand on every job not just at the
end when it is too late to do anything about it
Payroll runs with live federal and state tax
calculations labor burden rates and full export
capability so whether you are doing certified payroll
for a prevailing wage job or just running weekly
checks you have what you need Invoices and proposals
generate professionally with PDF and Excel export so
you are not sending clients something that looks like
it came from a spreadsheet you built in 2009
The bid discovery system called BIDS IQ scans
available contracts and scores them based on your
trade location and capacity so instead of spending hours hunting for work the work finds you RFI and submittal tracking keeps every document accounted for with status updates so nothing falls through the cracks on a project with an owner or GC who wants a paper trail. Change orders are built in so when a client asks for extra scope you document it price it and get it signed off without a back and forth email chain that never gets resolved
The scheduling module runs a full Gantt view so your crew and your subs know what is happening and when
Pre-construction tools let you build estimates and
proposals before a job is awarded so you show up to a bid meeting looking like you run a real operation
Subcontractor management keeps your subs organized
with contact info scope assignments and document
tracking in one place
Then there is DATUM Ai which is the intelligence layer that runs across the entire platform DATUM Ai is a field and office assistant that understands
construction It can walk a foreman through a fault
code diagnosis help an owner calculate cash flow on a retainage job explain prevailing wage obligations
answer questions about change order process and a
hundred other things that come up in a real work day
But what makes it different from just plugging into ChatGPT is that DATUM Ai monitors its own performance Every time it encounters a question it could not fully
answer or a domain where its confidence was low it logs that gap persists it to the database and triggers a self-repair cycle where it generates a knowledge patch deploys it and comes back smarter the next time that topic comes up It is a legitimate feedback loop
built into the core of the system not a feature we
talk about on a landing page
