Ops + Software for Contractors

Your ops
stack is
broken.
I fix it.

I help specialty contractors get real value out of the project management and accounting software they're already paying for — live dashboards, AI estimating, job costing, and AIA invoicing. Built in weeks, not months.

You're running a $2M+ business and still flying blind

Most specialty contractors are sitting on two powerful platforms — JobTread and QuickBooks — and getting maybe 20% of the value out of them.

The data is there. It's just not connected to anything useful.

  • Estimating is still happening in spreadsheets — every bid is rebuilt from scratch
  • You find out a job wasn't profitable after it's already done
  • AR is tracked in someone's head or a notes app — chasing invoices is a weekly fire drill
  • AIA 702/703 forms are drafted from scratch for every GC job
  • There's no single place to see pipeline, GP%, and cash position at once

Product Ops JobTread QuickBooks API React Supabase AI/LLM Specialty Contractors

I'm not a developer who learned about contractors. I'm an ops person who learned to build.

My background is in product ownership and operations strategy. I understand how businesses run — the workflows, the decisions, the places where things break down. I also know how to build the tools that fix them.

I came to the contractor space through a consulting engagement with a specialty painting contractor in Georgia. In two months, I built their entire internal ops platform from scratch — AI estimating, financial dashboard, job costing, AIA invoicing, and a role-based internal hub — all on top of their existing JobTread and QuickBooks data.

I had never worked in the trades before that engagement. I learned everything by doing. That's how I work — high autonomy, deep focus, no hand-holding required.

TradeOpsLab exists because that contractor's problems aren't unique. Every specialty contractor at $1M–$10M is dealing with the same gaps. The platforms exist. The data is there. The connective tissue is missing. That's what I build.
