The "Site Blindspot" Problem
Material costs spiking without warning on multi-phase commercial renos, like unexpected steel price hikes during foundation pours
Crew delays eating into tight deadlines because you're piecing together RFIs and daily logs from texts, emails, and field notes
Change orders turning profitable jobs into money pits due to hidden cost overruns on MEP installations
Subcontractor performance invisible until it's too late, risking punch list nightmares on HVAC subcontracts
Client approvals stalling because progress data is scattered across Procore apps, notepads, and site photos
Inventory mismatches leading to idle crews waiting for millwork parts during high-end kitchen remodels
Our Custom-Built Dashboards Cut Through the Dust
We've helped over 100 renovation firms turn raw site data into a command center that actually works for them
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest—you're probably thinking another dashboard means more screens to stare at. Here's the thing: we build yours from the ground up, tailored to your exact workflow. Whether you're flipping houses or gutting commercial spaces, our AIQ Labs dashboards pull data from your project management tools, time trackers, and suppliers into one unified view. No templates. Just real-time insights that let you spot a lagging drywall crew or a materials markup before it derails your schedule. Think of it like having a digital foreman who never sleeps, giving you the visibility to make ROI-driven calls on the fly.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Actionable Wins for Your Crews
Spot Cost Overruns Before They Bury You
You're knee-deep in a bathroom remodel when suddenly tile costs jump 15% due to supply chain issues. Our dashboards flag it instantly, pulling from supplier feeds, your bids, and real-time market data like lumber futures, so you can negotiate or pivot without eating the loss. Contractors using this see <span class="gradient">25% fewer surprises</span> on framing and finishing phases, keeping projects on budget and your margins intact over 6-12 month timelines.
Boost Crew Efficiency with Live Tracking
No more chasing punch-ins via phone calls on rough-in days. Dashboards show real-time labor hours against your critical path schedule, highlighting bottlenecks like slow electrical rough-ins on a tight 90-day reno. One firm cut idle time by 18 hours per week across concrete and drywall crews, turning potential delays into on-time handovers that wow clients and avoid liquidated damages.
Streamline Client Updates and Approvals
Renovation clients hate radio silence during demo and install phases. Share secure dashboard views of progress photos, milestone hits like slab pours, and budget trackers integrated with your estimating software. This cuts approval loops from days to hours for change orders on fixtures, reducing disputes by up to 40% and building trust that leads to repeat business in commercial tenant improvements.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were losing track of precast concrete deliveries during our mid-rise condo flips—ended up with $8K in rush fees and delayed structural inspections last quarter. Now, it's all there in one spot with automated alerts, and we've shaved two weeks off average timelines from foundation to framing. Game-changer for staying ahead of city permitting deadlines."
Mike Rivera
Senior Project Manager, Urban Reno Pros LLC
"Our team was buried in emails and RFIs trying to monitor sub progress on a full office gut-and-rebuild job, especially with the steel erection phase. The custom setup from AIQ pulls it all together—labor logs from field tablets, subcontractor invoices, and progress photos. Cut our overruns from 12% to under 4% in just three months on a $2M project. Finally, data that matches our on-site chaos."
Sarah Kline
Operations Lead, BuildRight Contractors Inc.
"You're probably thinking dashboards are just fluff, but this one caught a 20% plumbing markup early on a luxury kitchen reno during the rough plumbing stage, saving us $3,500 in material overages and avoiding a two-week delay. Integrated right with our field apps like PlanGrid, no training headaches for the crew. Wish we'd implemented this years ago for all our custom cabinet installs."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your dashboards handle data from multiple job sites?
We get it—renovation work spans kitchens in the suburbs to high-rises downtown, and data silos make it a nightmare. Our custom setup aggregates everything into one hub, pulling from tools like your time clocks, supplier portals, and weather feeds. For instance, if a rain delay hits Site A, it auto-adjusts timelines across all projects without manual input. We've built this for contractors managing 5-20 sites, ensuring real-time visibility so you're not flying blind on which job's falling behind. Setup takes about two weeks, and it's scalable as your portfolio grows—no more juggling apps that don't talk to each other.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf software like Procore?
Here's the thing: Procore's great for basics, but it's a one-size-fits-all hammer for every reno nail. We craft dashboards tailored to your workflow—say, if you specialize in historic restorations, we'll prioritize metrics like compliance checks over generic task lists. No templates; we code it to integrate deeply with your existing setup, creating actionable insights like predictive overrun alerts based on your past jobs. Clients tell us it cuts reporting time by 15 hours a week, and since it's owned by you, no subscription hikes when features change. Think of it as a custom blueprint versus a prefab kit.
Can the dashboard work on mobile for field teams?
Absolutely—your crews are out there swinging hammers, not glued to desks. We design with responsive interfaces that load fast on phones or tablets, even with spotty site Wi-Fi. Features like quick-scan material logs or photo uploads for progress pics happen offline, syncing when you're back in range. One contractor we worked with used it to track drywall installs in real-time during a busy flip season, reducing errors from miscommunications by 30%. It's built tough for construction realities, with simple taps to update statuses without tech overwhelm.
How secure is the data in these custom dashboards?
Security's non-negotiable in renos, where bids and client details are gold. We use enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access (so foremen see site-specific views only), and comply with standards like GDPR if you're dealing with international subs. Data stays in your controlled environment—no cloud roulette. For example, we recently secured a dashboard for a firm handling luxury home flips, protecting sensitive floor plans from leaks. Regular audits and backups mean you're covered if a tool goes down mid-project. Peace of mind, so you focus on the build, not the breach worries.
What's the timeline and cost for building a custom dashboard?
You're probably thinking this sounds great but takes forever. We keep it practical: discovery and design in week one, prototyping in week two, full build and testing over the next three—live in under two months for most setups. Costs start around $15K for a core dashboard, scaling based on integrations like your inventory system. It's a one-time build with minimal ongoing fees, unlike subscriptions that add up. A mid-sized reno outfit we partnered with recouped their investment in four months through better margin tracking on apartment overhauls. We provide a clear quote after an initial chat, tailored to your scale.
Will my team need training to use it?
No steep learning curves here—we design for the field, not the boardroom. After launch, we do hands-on sessions (virtual or on-site) lasting just a couple hours, walking through updates like logging hours or checking alerts. It's intuitive, like your favorite project app but smarter. For a recent kitchen reno client, their non-techy subs picked it up in one go, using it to flag a supply issue that saved $2K. We also include quick-reference guides and ongoing support, ensuring adoption sticks without pulling your PMs from the job.
