The Construction Operating System

Investor Product Demo • December 2025

The Problem

$13 Trillion Global Construction Industry

Running on spreadsheets and WhatsApp.

Mid-Market Pain

Contractors with $10M-$100M revenue face:

3-5% profit margins — zero room for error

Field-to-office disconnect — costly miscommunication

Weekly budget updates — if they're lucky

Handwritten daily logs — illegible, lost in trucks

The Cost of Chaos

One missed change order.
One untracked expense.

Can destroy profitability.

Our Solution

A field-first construction operating system

that gives contractors real-time financial truth.

The 3-Minute Daily Log Promise

A superintendent on a dusty job site pulls out their phone,
speaks into it for 60 seconds,
and their daily log—complete with weather, photos, and cost code tags—
syncs to the office.

Live Product Demo

The Superintendent's Morning

Step 1: Project Dashboard

When Carlos opens Kablan, he sees his project at a glance

Project Dashboard

What You're Seeing

  • Project status and health indicators
  • Timeline showing progress vs schedule
  • Quick access to all financial data
  • One-tap actions for common tasks
The insight: No more calling the office to ask "where are we on this project?"

Step 2: Creating a Daily Log

Field-first design for real job sites

Daily Log Form

Mobile-First Features

  • Auto-populated weather — no manual entry needed
  • Voice input buttons — speak your notes, perfect for gloved hands
  • Cost code tagging — every activity tied to budget
  • Photo capture — document progress instantly
The 3-minute promise: Carlos speaks his notes while walking the site.

Step 3: Intelligent Cost Codes

Every expense tied to CSI MasterFormat taxonomy

Cost Code Dropdown

The Cost Code Spine

  • 68 standard CSI codes pre-loaded
  • Grouped by division (01 General, 03 Concrete, 07 Roofing...)
  • Searchable dropdown for fast selection
  • Every expense, log, and commitment uses the same taxonomy
Why this matters: When the PM asks "why is concrete over budget?", we can show exactly which days and what work drove that cost.

Step 4: Real-Time Budget Tracking

Sarah the PM sees budget status instantly

Budget Tracking

Always Current

  • Live budget totals updating as field data syncs
  • Division breakdown showing where money goes
  • CSV import for existing budgets
  • Direct link to add line items
No more weekly spreadsheet updates. The truth is always current.

Step 5: Commitment Tracking

POs & Subcontracts before money goes out the door

Commitments

Know Before You Spend

  • Purchase Orders and Subcontracts in one place
  • Status workflow: Draft → Issued → Received → Paid
  • Tied to cost codes for variance analysis
  • Native date picker for touch screens
The insight: Know what's committed before it becomes an actual cost.

Step 6: Actual Cost Recording

When invoices come in, they're recorded against commitments

Actuals

The Financial Loop Closes

Budget → Commitment → Actual → Variance

Every dollar tracked from plan to payment.

Step 7: Cost Dashboard

The Wow Factor

Cost Dashboard

CFO-Level Insights, Instantly

  • Budget vs Committed vs Actual at a glance
  • Variance indicators showing over/under status
  • Cost code breakdown by division
  • Mobile-responsive for field access
The million-dollar question answered: "Are we on budget?" becomes answerable in seconds, not hours.

Step 8: Inbox

Field submissions without app access

Public Submit Form
Inbox Review

No More Lost Messages

  • Public form for subs and vendors — no login required
  • Photo upload capability
  • All submissions in one place for review
  • Approve/reject workflow
Why this matters: Your electrical sub doesn't need another app. They get a link, submit photos, you review in Kablan.
