App Concept

TradeSync Field

A mobile-first coordination app for construction trades to align rough-in workflows before drywall closes. Electricians, insulators, plumbers, and inspectors share a live project timeline with trade-specific installation rules, RFI messaging, and photo-based approvals to eliminate on-site disputes.

Key Features

Trade-specific installation rule profiles (e.g., Romex through studs vs. below notches)
Shared project timeline with drywall-dedicated phases and sequenced task assignments
In-app messaging and RFI exchange between trades with photo attachments
Inspector-ready bay status tracking with photo evidence of open bays

Target Users: Electrical and insulation contractors on residential new construction projects (2-20 person crews)

Revenue Model: $49/mo per project subscription, or $199/mo for unlimited projects for a company
