Construction materials tracker that catches delays before suppliers do

"Should be next week." That's the third time the contractor has gotten this line. Drywall should have arrived two weeks ago. His framing crew actually wrapped up ahead of schedule for a change, and now they're racking up billable hours standing idle in a half-finished house with nothing to install. The client is demanding updates. The supplier keeps dodging. The entire construction industry operates on a chain of commitments. Commitments to homeowners, commitments from vendors, commitments to the workers banking on next month's project. The moment one falls apart, the rest unravel. Build Sight reveals what's headed your way before the supplier fesses up. Link your material orders to the platform. It monitors inventory availability, analyzes delivery track records, and identifies the trends nobody wants to acknowledge. Red signals late. Yellow signals drift. Green signals solid. You spot the holdup before anyone picks up the phone. You line up an alternative before your team wastes another week sitting around for lumber that shipped from the mill a month back and vanished somewhere in transit. Supply chains after 2020 never truly recovered. Lead times ballooned. Stock levels shrank. But distributors began publishing inventory data online, even if they didn't intend for anyone to actually leverage it. That's your starting point. One metro area. Five distributors. Create a tracker that scrapes stock availability every day and measures it against your customers' pending orders. When the data contradicts the commitments, raise the alarm. Launch with 10 small builders who are already managing this through spreadsheets and group texts. Hand them a dashboard that automates what they're doing by hand, only faster. The forecasting sharpens as more data accumulates. $200-500/month for independent contractors. $500-1,000/month for companies managing crews across multiple job sites. Construction is a tight-knit industry. When one builder consistently delivers on schedule while everyone else sits around waiting on materials that were promised weeks ago, people start asking how. They want that advantage. Word of mouth is what built every construction company worth knowing about. This product will grow the exact same way.
