Treat this as a strong first pass, not a final verdict. Open the link and judge for yourself.
Taken does not mean closed.
The broad version of this idea exists. A narrower one, for a specific buyer, city or step in the work, might not. Run the free search with what you know and who you can reach. It drops what is taken and shows what is still open.
Still open for construction contractors
These survived the same search.
Variation Text Trail
Captures spoken and texted variation instructions from a client or main contractor into a timestamped record, so small contractors can prove what they were asked to do.
Tool Checkout WhatsApp Bot
A simple chat number where crews text which tool or plant they took and from which site, so gear stops disappearing between jobs.
Subbie Inductions On File
Keeps each subcontractor's induction, tickets and insurance in one place per site, so a main contractor asking for proof gets it in minutes.
