What TMI Builds

Six systems. Built for how construction actually runs.

Not Procore out of the box. A custom-built operating infrastructure designed around your project types, your subcontractor relationships, and how your field teams actually work.

Finance

Real-Time Job Costing

Labor hours, material purchases, and equipment time captured as they happen - not at month end. See estimated vs. actual margin mid-project. Alerts fire when a phase goes over budget before it compounds.

Change Orders

Change Order Capture and Approval

Captures scope changes in the field, generates formatted change order requests with pricing, routes them for owner approval, and updates the project budget automatically when approved. Nothing falls between the field and the office.

Compliance

Subcontractor Compliance Tracking

Tracks certificates of insurance, licenses, lien waivers, and safety certifications for every sub on every project. Expiring documents trigger alerts. Work can be flagged before compliance issues become legal issues.

Bidding

Bid and Proposal Automation

Builds estimates from historical job cost data, current material pricing, and labor rates. Generates formatted proposals automatically. Tracks bid-to-win ratios by project type so you bid on the work that actually makes money.

Field

Field Data Capture and Progress Documentation

Crews log progress, photos, daily reports, and safety observations from their phones. Everything syncs to the project record in real time - timestamped, geotagged, and linked to the right phase and cost code.

Safety

Safety and Incident Reporting

Safety observations, near-misses, and incidents captured and categorized in the field. Patterns surface across sites and crews. OSHA-format reports generate automatically. Safety documentation doesn't live in a folder nobody checks.

How It Compares

TMI vs. the alternatives

Procore, Buildertrend, and CoConstruct are platforms you configure and run. TMI is a system we build and install for you.

How It Works

Three steps from conversation to running system.

01

The Audit - $997

TMI maps your current operation - estimating, job costing, change order process, subcontractor management, field reporting. Identifies where projects are losing margin. Delivers a custom build plan. The $997 applies toward the full build.

02

Custom Build

TMI engineers build your job costing logic, change order workflow, subcontractor compliance rules, and field data capture system around your project types, your cost codes, and how your teams actually work in the field.

03

Install and Run

We install the system, connect it to your accounting software, migrate your active project data, and run it live. Your PMs and field crews get trained. You see the operation clearly, probably for the first time.

FAQ

Common questions about AI for construction.

TMI's job costing system captures labor hours, material costs, and equipment time as they occur - not at month end. You see estimated vs. actual margin mid-project. Alerts fire when a phase goes over budget before it becomes a problem at closeout.

The change order system captures scope changes in the field, generates formatted change order requests with pricing, routes them for owner approval, and tracks status automatically. Approved changes update the project budget immediately. Nothing falls between the field and the office.

Yes. The subcontractor compliance system tracks certificates of insurance, licenses, lien waivers, and safety certifications for every sub on every project. Expiring documents trigger alerts. Work can be flagged or blocked until compliance documentation is current.

Field crews log progress, photos, daily reports, and safety observations from their phones. Data syncs to the project record in real time. Foremen don't fill out paperwork at the end of the day - they document as they go. Everything is timestamped and geotagged.

Procore is a construction management platform your team configures and administers. TMI is a done-for-you build - we design the system around how your specific projects run, integrate it with your existing tools, and install it. You don't manage software. You get a working system.

Both. The systems are built around your specific operation during The Audit. GCs get subcontractor management, bid comparison, and multi-site oversight. Specialty contractors get trade-specific job costing, material tracking, and crew scheduling. The build is custom.

Most construction companies are live on core systems within 6-10 weeks. Timeline depends on project complexity, number of active jobs at build time, and integration requirements. The Audit establishes the exact scope and schedule.

Start with The Audit at $997. TMI maps your operation, identifies where projects are losing margin, and delivers a custom build plan. The $997 applies toward the full build if you move forward.

Yes. Multi-site projects get consolidated reporting - you see total project spend, progress by site, and subcontractor status across all locations in one view. Site-level detail drills down from the same dashboard.

TMI integrates with your existing accounting system - Sage, QuickBooks, Viewpoint, or others. Job cost data flows from the field into your accounting software automatically. You don't replace what's working. You connect it so data stops moving manually.

Get Started

Stop finding out you're over budget at closeout.

Start with The Audit. Map the operation, find where margin is leaking, and build the system that shows you what's happening while you can still do something about it.
