Spec-home builder
Status that updates itself
Every week the owner had to chase his manager for status, who first had to chase the field for current numbers. If the owner forgot to ask or the field did not update in time, meetings slipped by days, and small problems were not caught until they had grown into big ones.
The picture rebuilds itself every morning. Nobody produces the report; it is simply current when they open it.
A spec-home builder running several projects at once. The numbers existed, in accounting software, in spreadsheets, in people’s heads, but seeing where everything actually stood meant the owner assembling it by hand.
I built a reporting layer that rebuilds the picture every morning on its own: project dashboards, financial summaries, materials and order tracking, phase-by-phase comparisons, published to a private portal the leadership team just opens. The underlying data is also wired so the owner can ask plain-language questions and get answers straight from it.
Nobody produces the status report anymore. The owner’s time moved from assembling the picture to acting on it.
