What Framing Companies Struggle With
These problems cost you real money every single week. Most framing owners just accept them as part of the business.
Builder Bids Arrive While Crews Are Working
A GC sends plans for a new build while your crews are spread across three job sites. The bid request sits in your email for two days, and by the time you respond, the GC already awarded it to someone else.
Change Requests Get Lost in Texts
The builder texts your lead framer about moving a wall. Your framer tells the crew. Nobody tells you. The change never gets documented, the extra labor never gets billed, and you eat the cost.
Crew Scheduling Across Multiple Jobs
You have four active projects and three crews. Lumber deliveries shift, inspections get rescheduled, and weather delays cascade across every job. Keeping track of who needs to be where and when becomes a daily scramble.
Draw and Payment Tracking Gets Messy
You completed rough framing on a custom home two weeks ago. The draw request is sitting in a folder somewhere. Meanwhile, your material supplier wants payment and your crew needs their check.
Project Communication Falls Apart
The builder, the superintendent, your lead framer, and your office are all communicating through separate text threads. Details about inspections, material changes, and schedule shifts never make it to the right person at the right time.

A Day in the Life with ServicePulse
Here is exactly what happens when a framing lead comes in.
Builder or GC sends bid request
A general contractor emails plans for a 3,200 sq ft custom home and asks for a framing bid. The request enters the platform immediately alongside all your other active bids.
Bid details captured and tracked
The AI confirms receipt, collects plan details, square footage, timeline expectations, and site address. The bid is added to your pipeline with all relevant documents and notes attached.
Crew scheduled and assigned
You win the bid. The system helps you assign a crew based on current job schedules, expected completion dates, and crew availability. Your lead framer gets the job details on their phone.
Job progress and change orders tracked
As framing progresses, updates flow through the platform. When the builder requests a change, it gets documented with details, cost impact, and approval status so nothing gets lost.
Draw/invoice sent and reviewed
When you hit a milestone, the draw request or invoice is generated and sent to the builder or GC. Payment status is tracked until the money hits your account.
