Twelve things that are different when your software was built specifically for production homebuilders — not adapted from commercial construction or sold to every trade on the job.
Walk the job and narrate what you see. AI transcribes and extracts structured punch items by room — no clipboard, no double-entry, no handwriting to decode. A 12-minute voice walk produces a complete punch list in under 5 minutes total.
Every plan revision is SHA-256 hashed, timestamped, trade-tagged by page, and acknowledged by name. If a trade partner claims they never saw the revision, you can prove they did — with a court-admissible record. Not possible with email attachments.
The Shinn-formula pricing calculator is the central financial object for every job. Markup tables, land cost, interest carry, upgrades, and the 210 warranty premium are all wired in. The minimum sell price updates live as you type. No more spreadsheet.
Standard Slab, Standard Basement, and Standard Crawlspace templates ship with ~120 tasks across 8 phases — ready to stamp onto any job. State-specific overlays (permit timing, lien windows) adjust the template for where you build. You own the template and modify it however you want.
Trade partners log in for free, see only their assigned tasks, submit invoices, and acknowledge plan deliveries. No per-seat charge for trades. No builder paying $12/month so their framer can see a task list.
Every invoice in the AP queue shows context: insurance expiration date, how long this vendor has been in your system, whether this invoice matches a previous one. The signals are visible before you approve — not discovered in an audit afterward.
The Closed-Job Margin report shows GM% for every closing, color-coded against the Shinn 12% benchmark, with breakdowns by community, plan, and superintendent. See which plan is dragging your margin down before you commit to another community of it.
Buyers access their home page via a magic link — no password, no app to download. They see their selections, photos, messages from the builder, and signed documents. Works on any phone without an install.
Every invoice approved through Lotwright populates the 1099 ledger. At year-end, the 1099-NEC report is a one-click export — not a reconciliation project. Contractor classification and threshold tracking included.
Every action in Lotwright — job creation, invoice approval, role change, price revision — is logged in a hash-chained audit log. The chain makes retroactive tampering detectable. Your records say what they say, and you can prove it.
Lotwright Standard is $199/month. Comparable tiers at legacy platforms run $400–700/month. The difference isn't features — it's that we're not subsidizing enterprise sales teams, annual conference booths, and platform features production builders never open.
Every screen in Lotwright was designed for use on a job site, in a truck, with one hand and a screen that might be in direct sunlight. Voice walks, punch items, task updates, and invoice review all work on mobile without pinching or zooming through a desktop layout.
