Build Your Own

Visual Automation Builder

Drag-and-drop blocks turn business rules into automated work. Build approval ladders for purchase orders and subcontracts, set threshold alarms for invoices and schedule slips, or wire any "when this happens, do that" sequence — without writing code. Sensible defaults ship with the platform; every one is editable.
WHEN
Trigger

A purchase order is submitted, a project schedule slips by 7 days, or your AI credit balance drops below 1,000.

IF
Condition

Totals greater than $5,000 · status is "pending" · vendor is on the approved list. Stack as many as you need.

APPROVAL
Routing

Require Manager → Director → CFO sign-off. Ships with construction-industry defaults; edit any threshold.

THEN
Action

Send notification · email · create task · update field · webhook. Combine multiple actions per rule.

Ships with sensible defaults

Every tenant starts with the construction‑industry approval ladder — plus starter alarms for large invoices, slipping schedules, and low AI‑credit balances. Adjust the thresholds, change the approvers, or add new policies; every default is editable.

Integrated Project Scheduling

Your schedule is the heartbeat of every project. DesignFlow Build connects permits, estimates, inspections, insurance, and closeout directly into your timeline — so nothing falls through the cracks.
Permit-Gated Scheduling

Automatically link permits to your project schedule. Tasks are gated until permits are approved — no more accidental work on unapproved scopes. Status changes cascade in real time.

Auto-gate tasks by permit status

Real-time status sync

Inspection task generation

Estimate-to-Schedule Conversion

Seed your entire project schedule directly from your estimate line items. Budgeted costs, durations, and cost codes flow automatically — eliminating hours of duplicate data entry.

One-click schedule seeding

Cost code auto-mapping

Budget-to-schedule traceability

Safety & QC Inspection Tracking

Schedule one-time or recurring safety and quality inspections tied to specific tasks. Failed inspections automatically block dependent work until re-inspection passes.

Recurring inspection schedules

Pass/fail task gating

Inspector assignment & tracking

COI Compliance Enforcement

Never let a subcontractor mobilize with expired insurance. The schedule automatically blocks tasks when a Certificate of Insurance lapses and unblocks them the moment coverage is verified.

Automatic mobilization blocks

Expiration-aware scheduling

Instant unblock on renewal

Warranty & Closeout Management

Manage the full closeout lifecycle — from substantial completion through punch list resolution to warranty start and final retainage release — all within your project schedule.

Punch list tracking

Warranty period monitoring

Retainage release milestones

Smart Schedule Alerts

Proactive alerts surface overdue tasks, approaching milestones, failed inspections, expired COIs, and permit issues — prioritized by severity so your team acts on what matters first.

It typically pays for itself in about 2 months. A representative $10M-revenue contractor (12 office + 25 field users, $21,900/yr) eliminates ~1.4 FTE of manual work — about $120,600/yr in labor savings, ~$98,700 net — valued at fully-loaded US construction wages (base salary x 1.3 for taxes/benefits/overhead). That is a ~2.2-month payback (~451% first-year ROI on software cost). Hard labor savings only; revenue upside excluded.
