By the time I figured out the job had stalled, I had already missed my refi window, holding costs just kept running I was texting every day and hoping for the best.
Now I use something simple like this:
- Typeform sends a daily 2-question check-in to every contractor on the job.
- Claude reads each response, compares it to the project timeline, and flags anything that looks behind.
- Gmail delivers a plain-English summary to my inbox every morning.
Contractors who go quiet get caught before it turns into a blown timeline.
Anyone else lose money to the communication gap on a flip?
