For general contractors and builders
The truth about a construction job is scattered across an accounting file, a mailbox, a folder of PDFs and a spreadsheet, and they disagree with each other. desq reads the paperwork behind the job and builds a dated, cited record of what you are owed, what it actually cost, and what you can prove.
Forward an email, photograph a sub invoice in the driveway, or upload a folder of PDFs. Attachments are held, fingerprinted and filed. The same invoice arriving twice by two different routes is recognised as one document, not two, which is the difference between paying a sub once and paying him twice.
Open items, decisions, change orders, milestones, commitments and pay applications, each one traced back to the document it came from. Where a claim rests on a document nobody can open, the register says so on its face instead of printing a confident number.
A record is dated by when the thing happened, not by when somebody typed it in. Corrections supersede rather than overwrite, so the wrong fact and the right one are both still there, along with the document that changed its mind. Nothing in the history can be quietly rewritten.
The packet is reconstructed as of the day of the meeting rather than as of today, from the same record. Every version is kept, the one that was actually issued is marked, and desq shows what changed between two renders. Nobody diffs two PDFs by hand.
Never state a number the evidence does not support, and never let absence of evidence render as a fact.
General contractors and builders running a handful of jobs at a time, who already know roughly what a job made and cannot prove it line by line without a weekend and a box of paper. If your ledger is a spreadsheet and your filing system is your inbox, desq was built for exactly that.
desq is early and is being built alongside working contractors rather than in front of them. If that sounds useful rather than alarming, get in touch.
No form, no sequence, no demo request that turns into six emails. One address, read by the people building it.
