A construction job has its own shape: a client, a sequence of trades, inspections, and a steady stream of changes. Generic project tools force you to translate all of that. EvoMerge has the pieces built in.
The job and its phases
A job is a project tied to the client's company. Its phases are the trades: foundation, framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, drywall, siding, painting, flooring, and final punch. Picking a trade from a standard list keeps naming consistent, and you can add several phases at once instead of one by one. Marking a phase complete is a single click.
Inspections
Log an inspection against the job or a specific phase, with a status, inspector, findings, and photos. Everything about the inspection, the job, and the phase appears together.
Daily logs, RFIs, and submittals
Daily logs record what happened on site each day. RFIs (requests for information) and submittals each have their own list, so questions to the architect and materials awaiting approval are tracked rather than buried in email.
Change orders
Scope changes are written up as change orders. When approved, the added items are billed on a separate invoice for just that additional scope, leaving the original invoice untouched.
Punch list items by location
Punch list items can be tied to a specific room, wall, door, window, or floor, and carry a severity of minor, major, or safety. Each location shows its own punch list, so finishing a room means clearing that room's list.
Progress billing and retainage
For jobs billed as work progresses, each line can be billed by percent complete, with a retainage percentage held back each time. When a line reaches 100%, the retained amount is released in one final invoice.
Subcontractor compliance
Phases can be assigned to subcontractor companies, with insurance and license expiry tracked, so a certificate that is about to lapse gets flagged.
