Lumber and concrete costs surging unexpectedly due to supply chain volatility, eroding margins on commercial builds

Labor hours inflating on-site from unmonitored crew efficiency, especially during framing and drywall phases

Delayed client sign-offs on architectural drawings and change orders disrupting critical path timelines in renovations

Cash flow bottlenecks from unpaid RFIs and change orders on active structural steel fabrication jobs

Our Custom KPI Tracking Platform—Engineered for Renovation Realities

We've built dashboards for over 50 contractors, turning chaotic job site data into ROI-proven insights that scale from solo flips to multi-crew operations.

Why Choose Us

Let's be honest, running renovations means dealing with unpredictable sites, picky clients, and tight margins. You're probably thinking, 'Another dashboard? I've seen those generic ones crash under real workloads.' Here's the thing: we don't assemble off-the-shelf tools. At AIQ Labs, we build from the ground up, like framing a sturdy house. Your custom platform integrates Procore logs, QuickBooks invoices, and supplier feeds into one unified view. Real-time KPIs light up issues—like a drywall delay in Denver—before they cascade. No more silos. Just actionable data that keeps your projects on budget and your team in sync.

What Makes Us Different:

Pull live data from job sites, subs, and accounting for instant visibility

AI flags anomalies, like unusual overtime on a basement reno, saving you hours of manual checks

Scalable architecture handles 10 jobs or 100, without slowing down

Unlock Clear Visibility That Drives Smarter Renos

Pinpoint Cost Overruns Before They Hit

Pinpoint Cost Overruns Before They Hit: Track material usage against bids in real time, integrating with ERP systems for instant variance alerts. For a recent kitchen reno client, this caught a 15% tile waste spike early—due to improper cutting on porcelain installs—saving $8,000 and keeping the project under budget by two weeks, avoiding subcontractor delays.

Boost Crew Productivity with Instant Insights

Boost Crew Productivity with Instant Insights: Monitor labor KPIs like man-hours per square foot across sites via mobile punch-ins. One contractor using our system reduced idle time by 22% during peak roofing season, turning a three-month bathroom overhaul from chaotic to clockwork—freeing up crews for two extra jobs that quarter and improving overall throughput.

Streamline Approvals and Accelerate Payments

Streamline Approvals and Accelerate Payments: Dashboards highlight pending change orders with automated notifications to stakeholders, cutting approval loops from days to hours. A mid-sized firm saw their cash flow improve by 35%, collecting on a delayed flooring reno payout—just in time for HVAC supplier bills—after flagging a $20k laminate upgrade RFI.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, we were chasing shadows on our reno jobs—emails from foremen on plumbing rough-ins never matched the cost books. Now, the dashboard shows exact material spends daily, including steel pipe variances. We finished a full-house gut last month 10% under budget on a 2,500 sq ft project, and that's no fluke; it's the data talking."

Mike Harlan

Senior Project Manager, Harlan Renovations Inc., specializing in residential remodels in the Midwest

"I run a crew of 20 across three states, and tracking KPIs for electrical and framing felt like herding cats. Their platform integrates our field apps seamlessly with Procore data. Spotted a labor overrun on a condo flip early during the drywall phase, adjusted shifts, and saved $12k on overtime. Wish we'd done this years ago for our multi-family builds."

Sara Lopez

Operations Director, Lopez Home Builds

"Cash flow was killing us on bigger renos—change orders for foundation mods sat for weeks. This dashboard flags them instantly with digital signatures, and we got paid on a $150k addition project within 48 hours of approval. Real game-changer for staying solvent during material shortages."

Common Questions

How does this integrate with my existing tools like Procore or Buildertrend?

We start by auditing your current stack—say, Procore for scheduling and QuickBooks for billing. Our team builds custom APIs to pull data seamlessly, creating a single dashboard without disrupting your workflows. For one renovation firm, this meant real-time sync of daily logs, cutting manual updates by 40%. It's all owned code, so no fragile middleware that breaks during software updates. We handle the heavy lifting, ensuring your KPIs flow accurately from field to office, even on legacy systems.

What specific KPIs can we track for renovation projects?

Tailored to renos, we focus on metrics like cost per square foot, labor variance against bids, material utilization rates, and milestone completion percentages. Imagine tracking how many hours your crew spends on demo versus finishing—our platform visualizes it instantly. A client in home flips used this to monitor ROI on kitchens, spotting trends that boosted their average profit by 18%. We customize based on your ops, whether it's tracking change order impacts or subcontractor performance, all in real time for proactive decisions.

Is the platform mobile-friendly for on-site use?

Absolutely—it's designed for the dust and bustle of job sites. Foremen can log updates via phone, viewing KPIs like remaining budget or next-phase tasks without signal issues. We optimize for offline caching, so a basement reno in a low-connectivity area still syncs when you're back online. One contractor told us it transformed their site walks; no more paper timesheets. Built with responsive web tech, it scales from iPad oversight to desktop deep dives, keeping your whole team aligned.

How scalable is this for growing from small flips to larger contracts?

We architect it like a modular building—add rooms without rebuilding the frame. Start with 5-10 jobs, and it handles 50+ as you expand into commercial renos. Our enterprise-grade backend manages increased data loads without lag, proven by a firm that scaled from local houses to multi-unit rehabs, seeing no performance dips. You're not locked into tiers; we build to grow with you, incorporating new data sources like expanded supplier networks effortlessly.

What's the timeline and cost for building a custom dashboard?

Typically, we deliver a MVP in 4-6 weeks after discovery, with full rollout in 8-10 weeks—faster than piecing together subscriptions. Costs start around $25k for a core setup, scaling with complexity, but ROI hits quick: clients recoup via 20-30% efficiency gains. We price transparently, no hidden fees, and offer phased payments tied to milestones. For a mid-sized reno outfit, it paid for itself in four months through reduced overruns. Let's chat specifics in your free consult.

Can it handle compliance and safety tracking for renos?

Yes, we embed safety KPIs like incident logs, PPE checks, and OSHA compliance directly into the dashboard. For instance, it flags overdue site inspections or near-misses, integrating with your permit trackers. A contractor using it for urban rehabs avoided a $5k fine by catching a scaffold log gap early. All data is audit-ready, with secure storage for regulations. We tailor it to local codes, ensuring your renos stay safe and legal without extra paperwork burdens.
