Construction / general contractor
Halvorsen & Pike Builders
A Boise commercial GC with sector and service pages, a filterable project portfolio, a multi-step request-a-bid with plan upload, careers and sub prequalification. Behind it: leads and bid invitations, contacts with COI and W-9 expiry, and projects with schedules, cost-code budgets, subcontracts with retainage, change orders, RFIs and daily logs. People & HR runs the crews: timesheets by cost code that post to job cost, certified payroll, certifications, hiring, onboarding and safety. Billing runs G702/G703 pay applications, sub pay apps, lien waivers and cash flow.
What's inside
- Sector pages, project portfolio and request-a-bid with plan upload
- Careers with an applicant pipeline, trade-partner prequalification
- Leads and bid invitations fed by the website
- Projects: schedule, cost-code budget, subcontracts with retainage and lien waivers, change orders, RFIs, submittals, punch and inspections

AI you can try
- Ask the plans: answers from the specs with section citations
- AI plan takeoff: proposes quantities on the drawings for an estimator to accept, then checks the estimate for scope gaps
- Daily-log summarizer for owner updates
- People & HR drafts from the system's own facts: cert-gap training plan, review draft, toolbox talk, write-up, job posting, applicant fit, and a card reader in the crew phone app (each answer is marked live AI or offline sample; people approve every one)
- Pay app AI: drafts this period's G703 from the schedule, sub billing and daily logs for a PM to accept line by line, a pre-submission check, the cover email, payment reminders, and readers for pasted sub pay apps and lien waivers (rules re-check every read)
Things to try
- Request a bid on the website, then open the Back office → Leads
- Back office → Bid board: open the clinic takeoff, calibrate a sheet, run the AI first pass, review it, then price it in the estimate, level the bids and print the proposal
- Open a project and ask the plans a question
- Back office → Sub pay apps: approve Ridgecrest's sub billing (cut one, hold the one missing its waiver) and roll it into pay app #7; open #7, Draft this period with AI, fix the flagged stored glass, sign and submit (over $250k it needs the project executive's approval first); then certify it short and record a partial payment. View as a sub shows the subcontractor portal
- People & HR → Certifications: renew Ramon's First Aid and run the Twin Falls gap check; Timesheets: approve Flatwork Crew C and post labor to Riverside's job cost (watch the production and over-budget flags); Hiring: publish the CDL posting, switch to Website → Careers, apply, and watch it land in the pipeline
