Construction operations cloud

The operating layer between design, field, and money.

CoreDrafter gives builders one live project record for RFIs, drawings, daily reports, site analysis, safety, change events, cost exposure, and closeout — without making every subcontractor, architect, owner, or field lead a paid seat.

CoreDrafter Brief

The schedule risk is not labor. The risk is approval latency: drain layout, coping color confirmation, and one unresolved drawing revision are tied to procurement. Push owner decision before Friday to protect Monday dry-in.

Platform

One system. Every construction workflow that can sink the job.

CoreDrafter is built around a simple belief: the drawing set, the daily log, the RFI, the change event, and the budget are not separate records. They are different views of the same project truth.

01

Project Command

Track the active project portfolio, owners, team members, risk score, active constraints, schedule impact, and commitment status from one command view.

Portfolio visibility

Drawing Register

Version-controlled sheets, model references, spec sections, field markups, and approval history with clear current-set protection for field crews.

Plan control
03

RFI + Submittals

Structured RFIs, submittals, due dates, linked drawings, impacted cost codes, responsible parties, and escalation paths.

Decision control
04

Field Ops

Daily reports, manpower, weather, equipment, photos, deliveries, safety observations, delays, and installed quantities from mobile-first logs.

Jobsite capture
05

Cost Ledger

Money protection
06

Quality + Safety

Inspections, punch lists, checklists, nonconformance items, safety forms, toolbox talks, corrective actions, and closeout packages.

Risk reduction
Design intelligence

Go from site to decision before the first full drawing package exists.

CoreDrafter Site Lab gives teams a fast early-stage workspace for location context, massing options, code-sensitive assumptions, environmental signals, and project feasibility before cost and field execution take over.

  • Rapid site setup with terrain, access, adjacent constraints, staging zones, and work areas.
  • Concept comparison for massing, orientation, roof geometry, drainage, access, sunlight, wind, noise, and carbon assumptions.
  • Live handoff from concept risk into RFIs, drawings, estimating, procurement, and field planning.

The jobsite writes the record. The office sees the money.

CoreDrafter connects the people doing the work to the people responsible for decisions, approvals, budget exposure, and project closeout.

This is what a serious construction SaaS workspace feels like.

A real buyer needs to see more than a landing page. The console below demonstrates how CoreDrafter would organize the project record, decision queue, drawings, field logs, financial controls, design analysis, and reports.
