Tired of tools that don't work? So were we. @ProjectProctor for GCs. @hybrEDai for students. We build what was missing.

Our founder Justin Van Wie finally caved and joined X 😄

20 years on the government side of construction, now building Estim8 Pro, Project Proctor and hybrED. He'll be sharing lessons from the field and what we're learning along the way.

Say hi: @jmvanwie

[dvcapps.ai @dvcapps_ai]

We ran Estim8 Pro against a real $914K bid. Five sheets, no corrections.

Result: $534K–$677K materials + labor. The GC's own number, O&P backed out, sits inside that range.

It over-counted doors — and said so.

Send us a plan set with a known bid. We'll publish the result either way.

[dvcapps.ai @dvcapps_ai]

An estimate isn't money until somebody signs it.

Estim8 Pro: pick the number → page one is the proposal → tap Send → owner signs from their phone → you watch Viewed become Signed.

No DocuSign. No per-envelope fee.

A user gave Supe a concrete pour by voice. 20 seconds.

Supe: $2,700–$4,485.
His two real contractor bids: $3,100 and $3,500.

No plans. Just talking.

Your crew speaks Spanish. Your customer doesn't.

Estim8 Pro: Supe estimates in 11 languages, and one switch sends the proposal + e-signature out in the owner's.

One estimate. Two languages.

Setup: download it, make a project, add your subs.

That's it. That's the implementation.

Organized before you leave the site today. https://t.co/6iGYRMqBiN

Enterprise construction software pricing makes sense at 200 employees.

Most of this industry is a 5-person crew running 3 jobs.

$9.99/mo. Free plan to start. https://t.co/6iGYRMqBiN

[dvcapps.ai @dvcapps_ai]

Built by a contractor, not by a software company that toured a jobsite once.

Every feature exists because something went wrong on a real job. https://t.co/6iGYRMqBiN

[dvcapps.ai @dvcapps_ai]

Most construction arguments aren't about money.

They're two people looking at different versions of the same job — and both of them are telling the truth.

One shared view kills it. https://t.co/6iGYRMqBiN

[dvcapps.ai @dvcapps_ai]

"I thought you meant the other unit."

Most expensive sentence on any jobsite.

A framer who builds the wrong wall isn't a bad framer. He got a verbal instruction in a loud place. https://t.co/6iGYRMqBiN

[dvcapps.ai @dvcapps_ai]

Client check-in calls aren't a communication problem.

They're an anxiety problem. They're paying a lot for something they can't see.

Give them a login. The calls stop. https://t.co/6iGYRMqBiN

[dvcapps.ai @dvcapps_ai]

Budget. Cost to date. Remaining. Change orders. Timeline.

One screen. On your phone. On the site.

Not a laptop-at-7pm reconstruction of what you think happened today. https://t.co/6iGYRMqBiN

[dvcapps.ai @dvcapps_ai]

A delay caught Tuesday is a schedule note.

The same delay caught Friday is a change order.

Same problem. 4 days apart. Completely different price. https://t.co/6iGYRMqBiN

[dvcapps.ai @dvcapps_ai]

Change order approved verbally = change order that doesn't exist.

Ask anyone who's tried to invoice one.

Create it, approve it, log it. 30 seconds. https://t.co/6iGYRMqBiN

The four places your job currently lives:

• a text thread
• a group chat
• a truck notebook
• a spreadsheet nobody opens

Pick one. Make it an app. https://t.co/6iGYRMqBiN
