Groundwork — Contractor Invitation

Hi Marcus,

Your client Jonas Reyes has invited you to track their bathroom renovation project on Groundwork.

What is Groundwork?

A shared project dashboard that you and your client both see. Not a surveillance tool. Not another app to manage.

A single place where project status lives so your client stops calling you every day.

What you'd do

Update milestones when phases complete.
"Plumbing rough-in: complete" — takes 10 seconds.
Log change orders through the app.

Your client sees a plain-language analysis and can approve digitally. No more "can you send that in an email?" back-and-forth.

That's it. Groundwork pulls permit status and delivery confirmations automatically. You don't enter those.

What you don't do

Why contractors use it

"My clients stopped calling me every day. That alone was worth it."

Webb Construction — Austin, TX

"The change order thing is actually useful. Client approves in the app, I have a signed record, nobody argues later."

Rivera Remodeling — Denver, CO

Questions?

→ How does this affect my BuilderTrend?

It doesn't. Groundwork is client-facing only. Use your existing tools for everything else.

→ Can my client see everything?

They see milestone status, change orders, and permit/delivery updates. They don't see your notes, sub schedules, or internal communications.

→ What does it cost?

Free. No fees for contractors or homeowners.
