Software built from the owner's side of the table.

Tools we build from what we see on real programs. The first is Project Signal.

Project Signal

Your schedule, on every phone on site.

Project Signal turns a Primavera P6, Microsoft Project or Excel schedule into automatic text and email updates. When dates move, the people whose work is affected hear about it the same day, and their replies come back to the schedule.

We built it because the most common reason a trade misses a date is that nobody told them it changed. Schedules live with the scheduler; the people doing the work need a text.

What it does

Change-triggered texts

Each new schedule is compared with the last one. Only the people whose work moved get a text, with the old date, the new date and what to do.

Consent-first SMS

Recipients opt in before their first update. Opt-ins, STOP and HELP replies are logged.

Numbered replies

Trades reply 1 to confirm, 2 to flag a conflict or 3 to ask for a call. Every reply is tracked against its activity.

Import and Gantt

Import .xlsx, .xer or .mpp files and print a clean Gantt chart, with one-click PDF export.

Owner and PM reports

Weekly digests and a 4-week look-ahead, so owners see what moved without chasing anyone.

Integrations and API

Procore, Primavera P6, MS Project, Excel/CSV and Twilio SMS, plus a REST API, webhooks and an MCP server.
