Groundbreak GC / General contractors

The operating system for general contractors.

Groundbreak GC brings projects, estimates, budgets, bids, subcontractors, field records, change orders, draws, owner communication, reporting, and growth operations into one comprehensive builder operating system.

Proof boundaryThe assistant reads permitted GC records and queues drafts for approval. Current proof does not demonstrate completed cross-role handoffs or autonomous execution.

01 / Operating system

The complete working surface

Control the business and the build from one place.

GC connects the portfolio command center to the daily construction record—so estimating, cost, subcontractor, field, owner, and back-office work stay legible as conditions change.

02 / How the work moves

Each chapter connects the operator decision to the record that stays in view.

  1. 01

    Win + plan

    Move from estimate to a controlled baseline.

    Keep the opportunity, trade scope, estimate, exclusions, budget baseline, and readiness work visible before field execution begins.

    Record signalEstimate + baseline

    A prepared estimate or bid response is not represented as a completed award.

  2. 02

    Buy + coordinate

    Tie responsibility and cost to the package.

    Coordinate subcontractors, compare bid responses, track exclusions, and keep payment and compliance readiness beside the work.

    Record signalPackage coverage

    The system shows coordination state; it does not claim autonomous outreach, award, or procurement.

  3. 03

    Build + document

    Give field activity a durable project record.

    Keep tasks, timeline, daily logs, notes, documents, photos, changes, and cost context organized around the active project.

    Record signalProject attention

    Detailed project-route evidence remains labeled proof-needed until the current journey is rerun.

  4. 04

    Report + bill

    Prepare the owner and financial record for review.

    Draft owner updates, assemble draw context, review financials, and export reporting while preserving the human decision at every external boundary.

    Record signalOwner + draw workflow

    Prepared work is not represented as sent, approved, funded, or paid.

03 / AI-native operating rail

Context in. Reviewable work out.

A builder assistant grounded in the current project.

The embedded GC assistant can summarize the records that drive project control, then prepare supported changes inside a visible approval rail.

Ask from the current record

The assistant can read and summarize

  • Projects, budgets, draws, and change orders
  • Daily logs and readiness context
  • Subcontractors and compliance flags
  • Leads, insights, follow-up drafts, and connections
Route through approval

The assistant can prepare

  • Lead follow-up notes
  • Change orders and approval decisions
  • Owner-update drafts
  • Tasks and daily logs

Human-directedNothing executes autonomously. Drafts and decisions require explicit approval and the same permission checks as the manual workflow.

Inspect the product state

The builder view is a control surface, not a glossy dashboard.

The native composition follows the authenticated GC shell: project context, attention state, package coverage, and the next manual action remain legible at every viewport.

Deterministic sampleShipped routeJourney proof-needed

GC project-control view for the Desert Oak fixture. The data is deterministic and not proof that Pro transferred the project or that a production journey is complete.

Proof, with the edges left on

Control begins with visible exceptions.

  • Portfolio, project readiness, estimate, and budget state
  • Subcontractor assignment, coordination, and bid context
  • Tasks, timeline, daily logs, documents, and change control
  • Financials, draws, owner updates, reports, and relationship surfaces

Not claimedAutomatic Pro-to-GC transfer, completed bid award, autonomous dispatch or procurement, complete compliance vault, final draw package, owner approval, lender funding, or comprehensive network coverage.

04 / Project Spine

Standalone product. Connected context.

GC turns the plan into controlled work.

GC stands on its own for the general contractor business. On the Project Spine, it becomes the control record for scope, responsibility, field activity, cost change, and owner-facing work.

Next working view

Crew owns the trade business and its billing record.

GC can coordinate the work while Crew serves the trade contractor. The public story does not imply that field evidence, invoices, or payments already cross that boundary automatically.
