The problem

One job, six apps. Three different budgets.

Four handoffs in one week: a typo in the PM app, an old estimate in the books, fourteen crew hours lost on the way to payroll, and a signed $38,400 change order nobody billed.

The same budget, in four places

  • PM app$4,880,000Typo

The life of one job

From the invite to the closeout. One system the whole way.

Follow one medical office from the bid invitation to the final retainage check, and see which part of Cooper carries each step.

  1. 1Lead

    The invite lands.

    An invitation to bid arrives in the shared inbox. Cooper files it to the bid pipeline with the owner, the due date and the drawings attached, and makes it someone's action item.

    Synced inboxBid pipelineAction items

  2. 2Preconstruction

    The drawings come in.

    Sheets are named and versioned, the spec book is read section by section, and takeoff measures the plans. Nothing is retyped from a PDF.

    Drawing setsSpec readingPlan takeoff

  3. 3Estimate and bid

    The number holds up.

    Tony prices the work from your catalog and your closed jobs. Trade packages go to subs, quotes come back side by side, and the gaps get flagged before the bid goes out.

    Estimate worksheetsTrade packagesVendor quotesProposals

  4. 4Award

    You win. The job already exists.

    The owner signs in CooperSign. One click turns the estimate into the job: budget, deliverables, tasks, and a schedule with real dependencies.

  5. 5Mobilize

    Boots on site.

    Crews clock in by GPS at the gate. Deliveries are matched to their POs from a photo, and the daily report writes itself from a text.

  6. 6Build

    It goes up, on schedule.

    RFIs and submittals are tracked against the spec, the schedule moves when the job moves, and the agents chase whatever is late before it costs you.

    RFIsSubmittalsScheduleAI agents

  7. 7Bill and pay

    The money keeps up.

    Pay apps come from progress, the owner approves by link and pays through Cooper Payments. Card charges, vendor bills and payroll land on the job as they happen.

    Pay appsCooper PaymentsCard reconciliationPayroll

  8. 8Closeout

    Closed, with the real margin.

    Punch list walked, closeout documents signed, retainage released. The job closes with its true cost, and your next estimate prices from it.

For everyone on the job

Ask for it in plain English. Get the record back.

You run the company

“Ask Gordon how the quarter looks.”

He pulls project P&L, cash, and what you owe and are owed from the ledger, on your own model key.

An answer you can trace to journal entries, and the cost of asking metered by feature.

“Tell me when card charges pile up unreconciled on a job.”

A watch checks the records on a schedule and speaks only when the condition holds; Beatrix offers to process the pile.

A situation with the evidence attached, snoozed or resolved by you, never repeated in silence.

“Add a new office and let them use the same setup.”

Morpheus walks the new workspace through legal entities, roles, deliverable standards and a starter kit.

A second workspace on the same account, sharing nothing it should not.

The mobile app

The jobsite, in your pocket. On the same records as the office.

Cooper on iPhone and Android is built for the people on site: clock in, see what's next, receive the delivery, file the report. It lands on the job the moment it happens.
