From a phone-pad sketch to a job that runs itself.
Three steps, end to end: submit the scope, get a draft estimate and schedule back the same day, then let Foremind keep crews and clients in the loop while the work happens. The full walkthrough — with what each step actually returns and where the contractor still has to step in — is below.
Step 01
Submit the scope — even a phone-pad sketch is enough to start.
Drop the drawings, photos, and notes into the intake form. Foremind reads the same the contractor already has — drawings, photos, voice memos, a rough scope typed at the kitchen table — and turns it into the structured job the AI then runs. Nothing to format, nothing to retype before it gets useful.
- Drawings, photos, voice memos, and typed scope notes all count as intake
- The same form a contractor can fill out from the truck on a 4G signal
- No new taxonomy to learn — Foremind structures what you already wrote
Step 02
Foremind drafts estimate, schedule, and crew plan the same day.
The same intake becomes a bid with line items, labor, and material costs; a sequenced timeline with trades in the right order; and a crew plan that says who is on which day before the foreman leaves the yard. Nothing ships until the contractor approves it — but it lands ready to send, not ready to fix.
- Line items, labor, and material costs drawn from historical job data
- Phased timeline that sequences trades and flags weather/permit risk up front
- Crew assignments built off the schedule, ready to text the foreman
Step 03
Crews get their day. Clients get their update. The contractor sleep in.
As the job runs, Foremind texts the foreman their day-by-day assignments, sends the client plain-language progress updates straight off the schedule, and tracks hours, change orders, and photos against the bid. The contractor only opens the app for the calls that actually need a judgment call — every other 'just checking in' gets handled before it lands.
- Crews get daily assignments and dispatch notifications from the truck
- Clients get status, milestones, and delays in plain language — no portal
- Hours, change orders, and photos roll up against the bid in real time
Real job · end-to-end
A roof call the morning after a storm.
A homeowner calls at 7 a.m. — half a tree on the back slope, shingles blown to the lawn. The contractor submits storm photos and a rough scope from the truck before breakfast. By early afternoon, Foremindhas returned an emergency estimate, a materials list flagged for same-day supplier pickup, and a crew assignment for first light the next morning. The client gets a plain-language update — scope confirmed, crew en route at 7 a.m. — before the contractor's dinner.
- Storm photos + rough scope submitted from the truck on a 4G signal
- Emergency estimate and materials list ready the same afternoon
- Crew assigned and client notified before dark — no follow-up calls needed
