Ops Automation & Custom Tools for Construction Businesses

DappaSol builds custom operations tooling for construction and trades businesses: job tracking, quoting, crew scheduling, material logs and owner dashboards that replace the WhatsApp-and-spreadsheet pile. We built this class of tooling for GMN, a real construction client. Operator ops automation starts from $8,000; an Overnight Site is $399, live in a day.

TL;DR
  • Construction businesses run on WhatsApp threads, paper dockets and spreadsheets. Custom tooling replaces the retyping, not the people.
  • Operator ops automation from $8,000: job tracking, quoting, scheduling, reporting built around how your crews actually work.
  • We built GMN-style field-ops tooling for a real construction client; this is a lane we know, not a first attempt.
  • Need the basics first? Overnight Site, $399, live in a day.

The office runs on spreadsheets. The margin leaks through them.

Every construction business we meet runs the same stack: WhatsApp threads for the crews, paper dockets from the site, spreadsheets in the office, and one person who spends half their week retyping between the three. DappaSol builds the tooling that removes the retyping: job tracking, quoting, crew scheduling, material logs and an owner dashboard that tells you where every job stands. We built exactly this class of field-ops tooling for GMN, a real construction client.

What we build for trades and construction

Job and site tracking

One place where every job lives: status, crew, materials, photos from site, sign-offs. Built around how your jobs actually flow, not a generic project template.

Quoting and paperwork

Quotes that build themselves from your rate tables. Dockets and sign-offs captured on a phone instead of a clipboard that gets lost in the truck.

Scheduling and crews

Who is on which site this week, visible to the office and the crews, without the Sunday-night phone tree.

The owner dashboard

Jobs in progress, money owed, materials ordered, one screen. Numbers pulled from the system, not compiled by hand on Friday.

All of it falls under Operator ops automation, from $8,000. We quote the scope up front; no hourly meter.

How it works

We start by mapping how work actually moves through your business, usually a week of asking annoying questions. Then we build in stages, so your team is using the first working piece within weeks, not waiting on a big reveal. The design bar is blunt: every step has to be easier than the WhatsApp message it replaces, or crews will not use it and the project fails. We hold ourselves to that.

Questions construction owners ask

We run everything on WhatsApp and spreadsheets. Can you work with that?

Yes. That is the normal starting point, and we connect to it rather than rip it out.

How much does custom software for a construction company cost?

From $8,000 fixed for ops tooling (our Operator tier). You get the number before you commit. Pricing.

Will my site crews actually use it?

That is the design bar: simpler than what they do now, on a phone, no manual. If it needs training, we rebuild it.

How long does it take?

Working pieces within weeks, full scope typically 3-8 weeks in stages.

Do we have to replace our current tools?

No. We integrate first and only recommend replacement in writing when it is genuinely needed.

Can you also do our website?

Yes: from $399, live in a day. Overnight Site.

FAQ

We run everything on WhatsApp and spreadsheets. Can you work with that?

Yes, that is the normal starting point. We map how jobs actually flow through your business, then build tooling that removes the retyping and chasing. Crews keep working the way they work; the data just stops getting lost.

How much does custom software for a construction company cost?

Operator ops automation starts from $8,000. Smaller scoped tools cost less than you expect because we quote the scope, not an hourly meter. You get the number before you commit.

Will my site crews actually use it?

Only if it is simpler than what they do now, so that is the design bar: fewer taps than a WhatsApp message, works on a phone with gloves-off simplicity, no training manual. If a step needs a manual, we rebuild the step.

How long does it take?

Scoped tools ship in stages over 3-8 weeks, and you see working pieces early. We do not disappear for months and return with a big reveal.

Do we have to replace the tools we already use?

No. We connect to what you have: sheets, accounting software, WhatsApp. Replacing tools is a last resort and we will tell you in writing when we think it is genuinely needed.

We also need a proper website. Can you do that?

Yes. An Overnight Site is $399 and live in a day: your services, your projects, a way to reach you that is not a Facebook page.
