Signed Job Start Sheet for Lot 14, Elmwood, showing hard cost line items totaling 267,300 dollars, an 8 percent overhead calculation, a 342,800 dollar minimum sell price, a 359,900 dollar asking price, and 18.4 percent margin, locked after signature

Signed and locked: line-item costs on the left, minimum sell price and margin enforced on the right.

The problem

Pricing lives in a spreadsheet nobody can trust.

Every builder has a pricing spreadsheet that only one person really understands, with formulas that break when someone edits the wrong cell. A super quotes a discount over the phone, the office finds out after the buyer signs, and margin walks out the door before anyone notices.

How it works

From blank lot to signed contract in four steps.

Pricing flows from your saved plan templates. Margins are enforced automatically. Signatures are collected and stored.

Build the price

Start from your saved plan + community defaults. Every line item is categorized: site work, structure, mechanical, finish. Totals and margin percentage update live as you type.

Enforce your floor

Set a minimum sell price per plan. Lotwright blocks approval on any Job Start Sheet priced below your cost floor, no override without owner sign-off. Protect your margin at the source.

Send for signature

One click sends the Job Start Sheet to the buyer via DocuSign or Adobe Sign. The signed document attaches to the job permanently, no separate filing, no scanning, no lost paperwork.

Job unlocks

Once the buyer signs, the job schedule, punch list, and vendor assignments all unlock. Everything in Lotwright flows from a signed Job Start Sheet, it's the key that opens the job.

Margin floor enforcement

Rogue discounts stopped at the source.

Set the floor once. It holds everywhere.

Every plan in Lotwright has a minimum sell price. If anyone, super, admin, or new hire, tries to approve a Job Start Sheet below that floor, Lotwright blocks the action and flags it for owner review.

Owner override is possible, but it's logged. Every below-floor approval is recorded in the audit trail with who approved it, when, and what the final price was.

  • Minimum sell price set per plan, not per job
  • Owner or admin required to override
  • Every override logged in the audit trail
  • Two-step approval mode available (super drafts, owner approves)
0

Below-floor approvals possible without an owner override. Not one. Not even for "special circumstances."

Outcomes

What replaces the spreadsheet.

One number everyone trusts

Margin recalculates live as line items change. No formula that quietly broke three tabs over, no version confusion between the office and the field.

A contract that doesn't drift

The moment the buyer signs, the numbers snapshot. Your plan library defaults can change next month without touching a signed contract.

Margin protected before it leaves the building

The floor is enforced at approval, not discovered in a monthly report after the discount already went out the door.

Under the hood

Pricing you can trust, contracts you can prove.

Built to replace spreadsheets and email threads with a single, auditable source of truth.

📐

Plan-based templates

Save a pricing template for each floor plan. Every new Job Start Sheet starts from the template, no re-entering line items from scratch on every lot.

📊

Live margin calculator

Margin percentage updates as you type. Change a line item, the total and margin recalculate instantly. No spreadsheet formula errors, no outdated cells.

🚫

Minimum sell price enforcement

Set a hard floor per plan. The system blocks approval below it. Owner-override is possible but always logged. Your margin policy runs itself.

✍️

DocuSign integration

Connect your existing DocuSign account. One click sends the sheet to the buyer for signature. The signed document stores against the job automatically.

🔑

Job gating

Schedules, punch lists, and vendor assignments don't unlock until the JSS is signed. The signed contract is the gate, no unsigned jobs can accidentally go active.
