The AI operating system for contractors.

ORDO builds the systems that handle the office side of a contracting business — leads, estimates, customer updates, invoices, reviews — using your company's own knowledge, pricing, and voice.

The problem

You were hired to build. Not to type.

A contracting company is a craft business wrapped in an information business. The crew is on the roof. The office is reading, deciding, and typing.

That information layer is where the day disappears — and where money leaks. ORDO puts it on rails so your team spends hours on revenue work instead of paperwork.

  1. 01

    Reading

    Emails, texts, voicemails, plans, RFIs, invoices, subs asking questions.

  2. 02

    Deciding

    Price it. Schedule it. Send it back. Chase it. Approve it. Bill it.

  3. 03

    Typing

    Estimates, change orders, updates, invoices, review asks, follow-ups.

The seven-stage spine

Only one stage happens on the roof.

Every job moves through seven stages. Six of them are information moving between people. Money leaks in the gaps between those six — not on the roof.

  1. 01LeadOffice
  2. 02EstimateOffice
  3. 03ScheduleOffice
  4. 04JobField
  5. 05InvoiceOffice
  6. 06CollectOffice
  7. 07ReviewOffice

ORDO builds the tools that keep information moving through the six office stages — on time, in your voice, with pricing you approved.

The five leaks

Every inefficiency falls into one of five buckets.

None of them are the crew's fault. All of them are fixable with better information plumbing.

  • Leak 01

    Response lag

    The lead that called Tuesday and got called back Friday. The estimate that took 3 days instead of 3 hours. The competitor who was faster.

  • Leak 02

    Rebuild waste

    The same estimate, written from scratch every time. The same customer email, retyped every job. Work you did last month, redone this month.

  • Leak 03

    Trapped knowledge

    The pricing logic that lives in the owner's head. The install steps only your best crew knows. The vendor terms nobody else has seen.

  • Leak 04

    Dropped handoffs

    The change order that never got billed. The punch-list item that never made it to the crew. The invoice that shipped without the extras.

  • Leak 05

    Silence

    The customer who wasn't updated. The review that never got asked for. The 90-day follow-up that turned into a lost repeat customer.

What we build

Tools shaped around a contracting business.

Six starting points. Every one uses your pricing, your voice, and the software you already run. Drafted by the system, approved by you.

See all patterns
  • Intake Rescue

    Every call and email that comes in — logged, auto-acknowledged, and flagged if it's still untouched after 48 hours.

    Catches the leads that used to fall through

  • Estimate Engine

    Scope, photos, and measurements go in — a priced, branded proposal comes out same-day, using your pricing logic.

    Same-day proposals instead of 3–7 days

  • Change-Order Writer

    Crew photo + a short note becomes a priced change order — before the extra work happens, not after.

    Extras get paid for. Every time.

  • Customer Job Updates

    Crew photos and a milestone become a progress text or email in the company's voice — the client hears from you without you writing it.

    Customer silence — solved

  • Invoice & Collections

    Job closed → invoice drafted the same day → payment reminders scheduled automatically at 7, 14, 30 days.

    AR days go down, not just up

  • Review & Referral Engine

    Finished job triggers a review request, then a 90-day referral touch — the reviews and repeat work that never got asked for.

    More reviews. More referrals.

Every draft — estimates, change orders, invoices, customer messages — is drafted by the system and approved by you before anything binding goes out.

How we measure

Baselines before builds. Numbers after.

Every fix ships with a metric target. Results reported at 30, 60, and 90 days against your own starting numbers — because vanity metrics don't pay for the work.

  1. Before

    Baseline your workflow

    We time the real process — inbound to acknowledged, quote requested to quote sent, job closed to invoice out. Numbers your team can point to.

  2. Ship

    Every fix has a target

    Nothing gets built without a specific number attached: response time under 24 hours, estimate turnaround under 48, invoice on the day of close. Named, not hoped for.

  3. After

    30 / 60 / 90-day results

    Reported against your own starting numbers — not industry averages, not our other clients. Your business, before and after.

Trust rule

Anything with a price or a signature — drafted by the system, approved by you.

The deal

You own the system. We just build it.

We're not selling software. We're not locking you into a platform. Every workflow we build lives in tools you already pay for — and everything we hand you is yours.

  • You own everything we build

    Tools, documents, workflows, and accounts belong to your company. If you stop working with us, the system keeps running — under your control.

  • Works with what you already run

    AccuLynx, JobNimbus, Jobber, Buildertrend, QuickBooks, CompanyCam, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365. We build inside your existing stack — not around a replacement.

  • No hidden reseller fees

    Third-party subscriptions are billed to your company directly by those vendors — never marked up through us. Our fees cover the work, not the software.

Two ways to start

Small, priced, low-risk.

Both start small, both credit toward a full build. The Assessment produces the roadmap. The Sprint fixes one workflow fast with before / after numbers.

    The Assessment

    $1,200· 2–3 weeks

    We interview the team, watch how the office actually runs, time the real workflows, and deliver a written roadmap: every leak found, scored, and priced. You keep the roadmap either way.

    • Owner and office-staff interviews
    • Workflow observation and timing
    • Software and tools audit
    • Baseline metrics on today's process
    • Priority-ranked opportunity list
    • Written roadmap — priced and owned by you

    Credits toward a larger build if you continue.

  • Or start here

    Quick Win Sprint

    $1,500· ~2 weeks

    Fix one workflow in about two weeks — the highest-leverage one from the assessment (or your gut, if you know where it hurts). Shipped with before-and-after numbers so you can see the change.

    • One workflow, end-to-end
    • Baseline measurement before build
    • Configuration in your existing tools
    • Team training on the new flow
    • Before / after numbers reported at 2 weeks
    • Written documentation you own

    Credits toward a larger build if you continue.

Full build & ongoing optimization are quoted directly from your roadmap. We don't guess — we measure your real workflows and price from what we find.

You own everything we build. Any third-party subscriptions (AccuLynx, Jobber, QuickBooks, CompanyCam, and similar) are billed to your company directly by those vendors — never marked up through us.

About

Built by someone who's been on your side of the phone.

ORDO is a boutique practice — no junior hand-offs, no packaged frameworks. Every engagement is delivered by the same person you meet on the intro call.

We only work with trades and home-services contractors. That focus is on purpose — every artifact, every workflow, every integration is built on what we've learned running this exact kind of business.

  • Built in Charleston, SC

    Delivered remotely to contractors across the United States.

  • Built by an operator

    Founded by someone who works in real estate and services businesses — not a career consultant selling a framework.

  • Focused on trades

    Roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, GCs, and other home-services firms — 5 to 50 employees.

Put the office side on rails.

Start with a 30-minute intro call. If it's a fit, the Assessment produces a written roadmap of every leak, scored and priced — yours to keep either way.
