STrOp · Learn
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.
Award a job — what flips when you win
The Award Job button is the moment a pursuit becomes a job — what the three-field form records, what changes underneath, and the setup work that's deliberately still yours to do.
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.
Migrate your data into STrOp
How a company moves onto STrOp from whatever it runs today — master data first, in-flight jobs at their current state, and the old system's paper trail as a searchable archive. Nothing re-entered, nothing silently dropped.
Pay app submission checklist
What goes in a monthly pay application, what the GC's reviewer looks for, and what STrOp assembles automatically.
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.
Turn a signed T&M tag into a change order
Walk a signed T&M ticket through change event, priced PCO, and executed CO in the Changes tab, so the contract value and the SOV move together and the chain holds up.
