The dashboard
Groundwork is a shared workspace — your contractor logs progress, you see it in real time. No back-and-forth texts. No "I'll check on it."
Every milestone, every invoice, every delay has a timestamp and a name attached to it.
Works on any device.
Your contractor gets a simple app.
You get the full picture.
Send your contractor a link. They download the Groundwork Pro app, confirm the project scope, and they're connected. No software training, no onboarding calls.
Your contractor checks off milestones, attaches site photos, and flags any issues. You get a notification. You see exactly what they saw when they saw it.
Delay? Groundwork flags it, explains why, and shows the revised completion date. Cost variance? You see it before the invoice arrives. The project finishes, and you have a complete record of every decision made.
Built for accountability
Groundwork analyzes your contractor's logged pace and recalculates the completion date daily. No estimates, no guesses — actual velocity data.
Before a phase is marked complete, both parties confirm it. You inspect, you approve, you sign. This creates a timestamped record that is legally defensible.
Every site photo is tagged with time, date, and location. If there's a dispute, the record is unambiguous.
Line-item invoices, approved change orders, and real-time spend — all in one place. No more surprise bills.
Groundwork detects when a project is falling behind and sends you an alert — before it becomes a problem you hear about in passing.

Customer stories
"Our contractor had a history of vague answers. With Groundwork, there was nowhere to hide — and honestly it made him better. He said he liked having the record too. It protected him as much as it protected us."
"I live two states away from the property. Groundwork was the only reason I wasn't on a plane every weekend."
