Not the Fortune 500 homebuilder. Not the custom shop doing 3 homes a year. The regional production builder who's outgrown spreadsheets but doesn't need enterprise software at $800 a month.
This is what running 20–50 homes with spreadsheets and text messages looks like — and what it looks like a quarter after switching to Lotwright.
Texts, calls, voicemails. Half the time the trade partner hasn't started, and you find out when you drive by the lot. Schedule slips by a week before you even know there's a problem.
Lotwright notifies each trade when their phase opens. They confirm in the portal. You see it immediately. No calls, no texts. Schedule slips get caught the same day.
Every lot is a new spreadsheet. Someone updates the framing cost, forgets to change the other six. A super accidentally approves a price that's $8,000 below margin. You find out at close.
Price flows from your saved plan template. Margin is calculated live. Minimum sell price is enforced — no Job Start Sheet can be approved below your floor without an owner override.
A buyer claims you never disclosed the spec change. You have a forwarded email from six months ago. Their attorney has a letter saying they never received it. $6,000 in legal fees later, you settle.
Buyer acknowledgment logged with timestamp and geo-coordinates. Document fingerprint confirms the file wasn't altered. Formatted PDF report ready for mediation in one click.
Super texts 14 items to the wrong group. Three trade partners ask for clarification. Two items fall through the cracks. A buyer finds them at the pre-close walk and the delay costs you $1,400.
Super talks through the lot on their phone. AI extracts each item with assignee, location, urgency, and trade tag. Items route to the right trade partner automatically. Nothing falls through.
Talk through the lot. AI extracts structured punch items — assigned, located, tagged by trade — before you finish the walk.
