Practical knowledge for specialty contractors
Compliance, change management, project controls, and the data discipline that compounds across bids. Written for California specialty subs — owners, PMs, estimators, and the field.
Bill the month — a pay app that doesn't bounce
Open the period, let the G703 build from the SOV, enter percent complete, submit to open the receivable, generate the §8132 conditional waiver, and send one package whose math ties to the SOV.
Close out the job — punch, package, retention, done
Clear the punch list, file the closeout documents so the package assembles itself, issue substantial completion, and bill retention on the final application with the §8138 waiver behind it.
Retainage release — when, how much, and what to chase
Standard 5–10% withholding through the project, partial release at substantial completion, final release after closeout. The clocks and triggers contractors miss.
Set up the subcontract — parse the PDF into the fields the job runs on
Register the executed subcontract once, let Parse Contract read value, dates, retainage, and terms out of the PDF, review each field against its page, and flag what the contract makes due.
The STrOp glossary — what we call things, and why
Construction has never agreed on its words — the same term means three different things depending on who's talking. Here's the one name STrOp uses for each thing, and the words we deliberately split.
