How it works

From blueprint to closeout in one platform.

The workflow

Six steps, one source of truth.

Every stage hands off cleanly to the next. No exporting, no rekeying, no lost paperwork.

Step 1

Import Your Project & Plans

Create a new project, then drag in your plan sets. Saguaro AI Takeoff reads your PDFs page by page — measuring areas, counting fixtures, and pulling dimensions automatically.

  • Upload full plan sets (PDF, DWG) — no manual page splitting
  • AI Takeoff reads scales and measures linear feet, square feet & counts
  • Every sheet, RFI, and submittal lives under one project record
Step 2

Build Bids & Estimates

Turn takeoff quantities into a priced estimate without rekeying. Sage AI assembles line items from your cost catalog, and Bid Intelligence flags scope gaps and risky allowances before you send.

  • Sage AI drafts line items from takeoff quantities + your unit costs
  • Bid Intelligence benchmarks your numbers and catches missing scope
  • Generate a branded bid jacket and send to the owner in a click
Step 3

Run the Field

Your crews carry the Saguaro Field app on iPhone, or the browser on Android. Daily logs, jobsite photos, punch lists, and safety inspections are captured on site — and field capture keeps working when signal drops.

  • Daily logs, photos, and weather captured from the jobsite
  • Punch lists and safety / toolbox-talk forms with sign-off
  • Works fully offline — syncs the moment you regain a connection

Step 4

Manage the Money

Run the financial side of every job from the same record. Generate AIA pay applications, route change orders and RFIs for approval, and track subcontractor compliance so nothing slips through the cracks.

  • AIA G702 / G703 pay applications with continuation sheets
  • Change orders & RFIs with a clear approval trail
  • COI and compliance tracking — expiring certs flagged before they lapse
Pay applications with retainage, lien waivers and payment due

Step 5

Collaborate Through Portals

Give owners and subcontractors their own secure portal instead of an endless email thread. They see exactly what they need — approvals, draws, documents — and every action is logged against the project.

  • Owner portal for pay-app approvals and project visibility
  • Sub portal for documents, lien waivers, and insurance uploads
  • Branded, permissioned access — no extra seat licenses required
Step 6

Close Out & Report

Wrap the job cleanly and keep the records. Assemble closeout packages, capture final lien waivers, and pull profitability and production reports across every project from one dashboard.

  • Closeout packages: warranties, O&M manuals, as-builts in one bundle
  • Final unconditional lien waivers — statutory language for AZ, CA and TX
  • Portfolio dashboards: budget vs. actual, production, and margin by job
Reports and analytics: money by month, contract vs billed, budget health

FAQ

Common questions.

How long does it take to get up and running?

Sign up, run the company setup wizard and invite your team. Review supported file formats before importing records, and verify the results yourself.

Does the Saguaro Control Systems app really work offline?

Yes. Daily logs, photos, punch items, and safety forms are all captured on-device. When the crew is in a basement, a remote site, or a dead zone, everything is stored locally and syncs automatically the moment a connection returns.

Do I need to do my own takeoff before I can bid?

No. Upload your plan PDFs and AI Takeoff reads them for you — measuring areas, counting fixtures, and pulling dimensions. You review and adjust the quantities, then Sage AI turns them into a priced estimate from your cost catalog.

Can owners and subcontractors access the platform?

Yes, through secure portals. Owners get a portal for pay-app approvals and project visibility; subs get one for documents, lien waivers, and insurance. Portal access does not consume a user seat — Saguaro includes unlimited users on every plan.
