The 5 things that decide whether you close the $148,000 whole-home renovation or watch the homeowner choose a competing GC, design and selection workflow with allowance budgets, milestone billing across the 12-week project, sub-trade coordination across 10+ trades, photo records for HOA/lender/appraisal documentation, and Google Ads ROI on $50-a-click GC keywords. All in one app. Built for the tech who's gutted a 1923 Austin bungalow to the studs and delivered a finished 4-bedroom in 87 days.
Walk the home with the customer. Photograph existing conditions, measure each room, document scope. Customer picks selections from your library and sets allowance budgets (kitchen $42K, master bath $24K, hardwood $14K, paint $4K, hardware $2K). Build the proposal in 28 minutes, full scope and design + 12-week timeline and $148K with milestone breakdown. Customer signs digitally and pays a 10% deposit before you back out of the driveway.
10% deposit at signing. 15% at permit and design lock. 20% at material delivery. 25% at rough-in complete. 20% at finishes complete. 10% at final and customer walk-through. You send each milestone invoice from the job, and the customer pays it by card or ACH from the link. You stop floating $40,000 of cabinets and $18,000 of materials for 4 weeks.
Framer Weeks 1-2. Plumber and electrician rough-in Weeks 2-3. Inspection and insulation Week 4. Drywall Weeks 4-5. Tile and cabinet install Weeks 6-8. Countertop template Week 8. Paint and finish carpentry Weeks 9-10. Flooring Week 11. Final and walk-through Week 12. Build the job as a multi-week sequence and assign each sub-trade to the right week with the right scope. A sub-trade without a login gets the job offer by text and confirms with a tap. No phone-tag at 7am Monday Week 6 trying to find the tile setter.
Pre-job, demo, framing, rough-in, drywall, finishes, completed. Photos timestamp automatically. The customer's home equity lender uses your weekly progress photos to release each draw. The appraiser uses your completed photos and materials documentation to support the ARV bump. Complete documentation gives the HOA architectural review less reason to push back on the additions.
GC keywords can cost $40 to $80 per click. Claver's Google Ads and Meta conversion tracking follows the click through design appointment, signed contract, and final payment, so you can see which keywords are turning into real jobs and which are just spending your budget.
Starter is $19/mo. Texting, AI and dispatch start on Crew at $39. The phone line and AI receptionist are on Business at $79.
Home remodeling is the highest-stakes residential trade you can run. The customer hands you a key to her house and writes you the largest check she'll write outside her mortgage. The 12-week project touches 10+ sub-trades, 3 lender draws, 4 inspections, and the architectural review board. Whoever documents the most professionally, design selections, sub-trade schedule, milestone billing, weekly photo progress, wins, because the homeowner's biggest fear is the GC who disappears on Day 30 with $40,000 of materials owed.
The shops that win three things differently: they build the design proposal on-site with allowance budgets (so the customer sees the $148K all-in number including her selections), they coordinate every sub-trade across the 12-week schedule (so the project doesn't slip into Week 16), and they bill in milestones with weekly photo progress the customer can hand to her lender if she's financing the project (so there's no argument about what's done).
The on-site design proposal is the engine. Sub-trade coordination is what delivers a finished home in 12 weeks instead of 5 months.
When you sit down with Mrs. Castillo in her 1923 Austin bungalow living room, the proposal builds itself in the app. Walk every room (4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, kitchen, dining, living, mudroom, bonus). Photograph existing conditions (1989 oak galley kitchen, original 1923 bathroom tile, 5-inch oak flooring throughout, plaster walls, knob-and-tube electrical in the upper floor). Customer picks her selections from your library and sets allowance budgets: kitchen $42K (cabinets and countertops and appliances and tile and paint), master bath $24K (vanity and tile and fixtures and paint), guest bath $14K, hardwood refinish $14K, paint $4K (interior whole-home), exterior paint $11K, electrical update $18K (knob-and-tube replacement and new panel), structural $9K (replace failed sill plate at southeast corner). Total: $148K. Build the proposal: $148,000 with full scope of work + 12-week timeline + 10 sub-trade schedule + 6-milestone billing breakdown. Customer signs digitally and pays a $14,800 deposit. Permits submitted Monday. Demo starts in 21 days.
Sub-trade coordination is where every home remodel goes off the rails, or gets delivered on Week 12. Weeks 1-2: framer crew (replace failed sill plate, frame the new kitchen island, frame the master bath enlargement). Weeks 2-3: plumber rough-in (move kitchen sink and dishwasher and ice-maker, all new bathroom plumbing) and electrician rough-in (knob-and-tube replacement on second floor, new 200-amp panel, all new circuits, recessed cans, island pendant). Week 4: inspection and insulation (open-cell spray foam in the second-floor walls and roofline, batts in the walls). Weeks 4-5: drywall and mudding. Weeks 6-7: cabinet install and tile setter. Week 8: countertop template and bathroom tile. Week 9: paint and finish carpentry. Week 10: countertop install and plumbing fixtures and electrical fixtures. Week 11: hardwood refinish (3-day job + 4-day cure). Week 12: appliance delivery and final walk-through and punch list. Build the job as a multi-week sequence and assign each sub-trade to the right week with the right scope. A sub-trade without a login gets the job offer by text and confirms with a tap, with the address and scope in the message. No phone-tag at 7am Monday Week 6 trying to find the tile setter.
Milestone billing keeps you solvent through 12 weeks of crew and materials and sub-trade payments. For example: 10% at signing, 15% at permit and design lock, 20% at material delivery, 25% at rough-in complete and inspections passed, 20% at finishes complete, 10% at final and customer walk-through. You send each milestone as its own invoice from the job when that stage is done, and the customer pays it by card or ACH from the link. You stop floating tens of thousands in custom cabinets and materials on your line of credit for weeks waiting for the rough-in milestone payment.
Photo records are what support milestone payments and, if the customer financed the renovation with a home equity line of credit, give her something to hand her bank for a draw request. Claver doesn't connect to a lender or submit draw requests for you, but you can structure your job around weekly photo timelines, pre-job, demo, framing, rough-in, drywall, tile and cabinet, paint and finish, flooring and final, export the set as a branded PDF, and hand it to the customer or her bank yourself. The same photo record can support the case for a higher appraisal at the end of the project.
And here's where most GCs fly blind: marketing spend. You're paying $40 to $80 per click on Google Ads for keywords like "home remodel [city]" and "general contractor." Some clicks become large renovation jobs. Some become nothing. On Business, Claver's Google Ads and Meta conversion tracking follows the click through design appointment, quote, and signed contract, so you can see which keywords are producing real jobs and which are just spending your budget.
