Why Choose Us
We don't slap together off-the-shelf templates. At AIQ Labs, we dive deep into your daily operations—from bid tracking to punch list management—and engineer bespoke dashboards that pull data from your CRM, scheduling tools, and field apps into one intuitive interface. Think of it as building a command center for your construction empire, where every widget reflects your unique project pipelines. Our proven track record includes reducing reporting time by 40% for mid-sized contractors, ensuring you make data-driven calls on resource allocation without the subscription sprawl.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Actionable Insights That Drive Contractor Success
Pinpoint Delays Before They Derail Deadlines
Pinpoint Delays Before They Derail Deadlines: Imagine spotting a plumbing crew bottleneck mid-renovation due to delayed pipe deliveries, not after the client calls furious. Our dashboards provide live KPI tracking on task timelines and resource utilization for framing, drywall, and finishing phases, helping 92% of our clients shave 20% off average project durations through proactive adjustments within the first 30 days of implementation.
Boost Profitability with Precise Cost Monitoring
Boost Profitability with Precise Cost Monitoring: No more surprises from hidden overruns on kitchen remodels involving granite countertops or roofing jobs with shingle price fluctuations. Get granular visibility into labor for tiling, materials like lumber, and subcontractor costs for HVAC installs in real-time, with benchmarks showing contractors using our systems increase margins by 15-25% by catching variances early in the bidding-to-completion cycle.
Strengthen Client Relationships Through Transparent Reporting
Strengthen Client Relationships Through Transparent Reporting: Clients in home services demand updates on progress like flooring installations, not excuses. Our custom views let you share tailored progress snapshots—complete with timestamped photos from the site and Gantt charts for siding work—fostering trust and reducing disputes by 35%, as evidenced by industry-leading feedback from our partners over six-month deployments.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried in emails and paper logs for our 50+ annual kitchen and bathroom remodels. Now, the dashboard flags material delays like missing ceramic tiles instantly, and we've cut punch list revisions by half. Last quarter alone, we finished three jobs a week early, saving over $10K in overtime."
Mike Reynolds
Senior Project Manager, Apex Home Builders LLC
"Integrating our field apps with their custom setup was a game-changer for tracking crew hours on commercial retrofits involving electrical upgrades. No more payroll disputes over wiring installs, and our estimators now pull accurate data for bids—landed a $200K contract for a multi-unit townhome project we might've underbid otherwise, all within two months."
Sarah Chen
Director of Operations, Urban Constructs Inc.
"We handle everything from custom decks to full home additions, and visibility was our biggest headache with subs and inspections. This system gives us one screen for building permits, subcontractor schedules for foundation work, and client approvals on window selections. Saved us from a $15K fine last year by alerting us to an expiring structural inspection just in time."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your custom dashboards integrate with my existing tools like Buildertrend or QuickBooks?
We specialize in deep, two-way integrations that pull data seamlessly from platforms like Buildertrend for scheduling, QuickBooks for invoicing, and even custom field apps. Unlike superficial links that break, our engineers use robust APIs to create a unified view—think automatic syncing of job costs and crew assignments without manual entry. For a typical general contractor, this means seeing real-time variances between estimated and actual expenses across all your ongoing remodels. We've done this for over 100 home services clients, reducing integration errors by 95%. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, with full testing to ensure it fits your workflow perfectly.
What makes these dashboards different from generic BI tools like Tableau?
Generic tools are powerful for data viz but lack the tailoring for contracting chaos—they're like a Swiss Army knife for surgery. Our solutions are custom-built for home services, embedding specifics like punch list trackers or subcontractor scorecards directly into your dashboard. We avoid the 'template trap' by mapping your exact processes, such as flagging delays in kitchen installations based on supplier ETAs. Clients see 40% faster insights because everything's pre-configured for your KPIs, not requiring constant tweaks. Plus, as owners of the system, you get scalable updates without per-user licensing fees that eat into margins.
Can the dashboards work offline for crews on remote job sites?
Absolutely—our mobile-first design includes offline mode, crucial for contractors in areas with spotty signal, like rural additions or urban high-rises. Foremen can log hours, upload site photos, and note issues via the app, which syncs instantly upon reconnection. This mirrors the reliability of your on-site tools but centralized. In one case, a client handling mountain home builds reduced data entry backlogs by 60% during outages. We build this resilience from the ground up, ensuring no lost updates disrupt your project timelines or client billing.
How secure are these dashboards for handling sensitive client data?
Security is non-negotiable in home services, where you're dealing with client addresses, contracts, and financials. We implement enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access (e.g., foremen see only their jobs), and compliance with standards like GDPR and construction-specific regs. Data stays in your owned system, not rented clouds prone to breaches. Our audits have zero incidents across 250+ deployments, and we include features like audit trails for change orders to protect against disputes. For peace of mind, we conduct regular penetration testing tailored to your setup.
What's the timeline and cost for building a custom dashboard?
Timelines vary by complexity but typically run 8-12 weeks from discovery to launch for a full contracting suite. We start with a free consultation to scope your needs—say, integrating five tools for a 20-person firm—then provide a fixed-price proposal based on deliverables like 10 custom KPIs. Costs start around $25K for SMBs, far below the ongoing fees of multiple subscriptions, with ROI often in 3-6 months via efficiency gains. Unlike assemblers, we deliver a turnkey asset you own, scalable without surprise upcharges as your project volume grows.
Will my team need training to use the dashboards effectively?
We make adoption seamless with hands-on training sessions customized to your crew's roles—office estimators get deep dives on forecasting, while field teams learn quick mobile updates. Sessions last 4-8 hours, spread over a week, with video guides and cheat sheets. In practice, 85% of users are proficient within days, as the interface mimics familiar tools but adds smarts like auto-alerts for overtime risks. Post-launch, our support team offers unlimited tweaks for the first month, ensuring smooth sailing on your next bid season without productivity dips.
