Construction / General Contractors 90-day fee/work pause

Your project managers spend more time on paperwork than on projects

Daily reports. Change orders. COI tracking. Bid follow-ups. RFI logs. Your project managers are buried in admin work because nobody else can keep up with the volume.

We take over routine admin work — not your PMs. AI workers handle the 500 pages of daily paperwork, track every subcontractor document, and route change orders through a managed workflow.

Target go-live: about 30 days from kickoff. Your timeline is set in your SOW.

01 35-40% Time on Admin
The challenge

Construction runs on coordination. Your back office runs on chaos.

Every GC above $10M revenue knows the pain: the work in the field is manageable — it's the paperwork that kills you.

01

Your PMs Spend More Time on Paperwork Than on Projects

The average project manager spends 35-40% of their day on administrative tasks — daily reports, RFIs, submittals, and change order documentation that do not require a PE license.

02

Subcontractor Coordination Is a Full-Time Job

Tracking 20-30 subcontractors per project means chasing COIs, W-9s, lien waivers, schedule confirmations, and compliance documents. One expired certificate of insurance can shut down a job site. Your admin staff spends 3-4 hours daily on sub paperwork alone.

03

Change Orders Are Profit Killers When They're Slow

The average commercial project sees 15-20 change orders. Each one requires documentation, pricing, owner approval, and schedule impact assessment. When change orders sit in someone's inbox for a week, you eat the cost. Manual processing takes 2-4 hours each.

04

Bid Management Falls Through the Cracks

You're tracking 15-25 open bids at any time. Follow-ups get missed, deadlines slip, and you lose jobs you should have won — not because your price was wrong, but because someone forgot to send the addendum acknowledgment.

Handled by AI workers

What changes

Side-by-side: how your workflows work today vs. with Leverwork.

Daily Field Reporting
Before — manual

Superintendent fills out paper form or types into phone → Emails to PM → PM reformats into Procore → PM adds photos → PM distributes to owner and architect → 1-2 hours per project per day

After — handed to AI

Field crew submits data via mobile → AI compiles into standardized report → AI matches photos to activities → AI distributes to all stakeholders → Owner gets professional daily update by 6 PM. Every day. Automatically.

Subcontractor Onboarding & Compliance
Before — manual

Award sub → Email contract → Chase signatures for 2 weeks → Request COI → Wrong limits, chase again → Request W-9 → Still waiting → Job starts, paperwork incomplete

After — handed to AI

Award sub → AI sends contract, COI requirements, W-9 request simultaneously → AI validates COI limits in real-time → AI follows up daily until complete → AI flags non-compliance before mobilization. Zero manual chasing.

Change Order Processing
Before — manual

Field identifies change → PM documents scope → PM requests pricing from sub → Sub takes 5 days → PM compiles CO package → Sends to owner → Owner sits on it → PM follows up manually → 2-4 weeks per CO

After — handed to AI

Field identifies change → AI documents scope from field notes → AI requests and tracks sub pricing with automated follow-ups → AI compiles CO package → AI routes to owner with deadline → AI escalates unsigned items.

Tools vs. workstreams

We already have Procore

Great. So does everyone. Here's why you still need 4 admins to run it.

Procore / Buildertrend / PlanGrid

Project management platforms — great for organizing data and documents

— They're databases with workflows. Someone still needs to enter the data, chase the subs, compile the reports, and follow up on approvals. The software doesn't replace the admin — it gives them a better filing cabinet.
Leverwork

We take over the routine admin work. AI workers enter the data, chase the subs, compile the reports, and follow up on approvals. Procore becomes the system of record — we're the workforce operating it.

Integrations

We integrate with your existing stack

Leverwork connects directly to the platforms you already use — no workflow disruption, no new tools to learn.

Illustrative scenario

A $35M commercial GC running 12 active projects with 4 project admins — daily reports late, COIs expired, change orders sitting in email for weeks — could expect Leverwork to take over that paperwork: one senior admin kept for complex cases, the rest redeployed to estimating, and PMs managing projects instead of pushing paper.
Illustrative scenario
Honest fit

Is Leverwork right for you?

Honest answer: sometimes we're not.

This works best if…

  • 5+ active projects simultaneously. — The admin overhead compounds with project count — that's where AI-powered workflows pay off fastest.
  • $10M+ annual revenue. — Below this, you probably have 1-2 projects and a PM who handles everything. Above this, the paperwork buries your team.
  • Using Procore, Buildertrend, or similar PM software. — We integrate with your existing systems. If you're still on spreadsheets, we can work with that too — but connected systems make the workflow easier to run.
  • 10+ subcontractors per project. — More subs = more paperwork = more compliance risk = more value from AI workers.

Not ideal if…

— Your projects are primarily design-build with minimal subcontractor involvement, or you're a specialty contractor doing 1-2 projects at a time where the owner handles everything personally.

Put AI to work. Keep your people leading.

A full-time AP / bookkeeping seat costs about $68K–$74K a year in wages and benefits (our estimate from BLS 2025/2026 data). Your assessment estimates the numbers for your business. 90-day fee/work pause on agreed SOW metrics
