Drywall contractors on Command
manage volume, lock in GCs,
and close more commercial work.
Built for drywall - not adapted from generic software. New construction project tracking. Repair vs hang vs finish-only estimate flows. Systematic GC relationship management. All configured before you go live.
The problems most software ignores.
Satellite can't measure every room. You still have to.
Drywall scoping requires room-by-room measurements - ceiling height, linear footage, door and window deductions, corner count. Satellite imaging doesn't give you that. Every job requires a site visit before you can price it, which means half your estimate time is windshield time instead of revenue time.
Dozens of simultaneous project tracks. Zero system.
New construction volume means 20, 40, 60 active jobs at different stages - framing inspection, board delivery, hang phase, tape phase, finish phase, punch. You're tracking it in a spreadsheet that breaks when you add a column, or in your head, which breaks when you sleep.
Repair pricing. Hang pricing. Finish-only pricing. All different.
A patch repair, a full hang-and-finish new build, and a finish-only on an already-hung shell require completely different scope structures, different labor calculations, and different material lists. Using the same estimate template for all three is how you underprice repairs and oversimplify commercial scopes.
80% of revenue. Zero follow-up infrastructure.
Your general contractor relationships drive the majority of your commercial and new construction work - but most drywall contractors have no system to maintain them. No touchpoint calendar, no bid follow-up automation, no way to know which GC you haven't called in 90 days. When a new project goes to bid, they call who they remember.
Before Command. After Command.
6 things built for drywall.
Field measurement intake + instant estimate
Tech opens the Inspector app on-site. Inputs room dimensions, ceiling height, opening deductions, and surface condition by zone. Command calculates board count, joint compound, tape, and labor automatically. Branded estimate built from real measurements - no guessing, no manual math.
New construction project board
Every active new construction project tracked by phase: framing inspection → board delivery → hang → tape → finish → punch → close. Crew assignments, material delivery dates, and inspection windows all visible on one board. No spreadsheet. No missing handoffs. 60 active jobs managed like 10.
Separate estimate flows: repair, hang, finish-only
Three distinct estimate engines. Repair flow: damage type, patch size, finish level, match requirement. Full hang flow: room measurements, board type, ceiling height, commercial or residential spec. Finish-only flow: existing board condition, level of finish required, texture specification. The right scope every time.
GC relationship automation
Command tracks every general contractor in your pipeline - last contact date, open bids, awarded projects, and revenue history. Automated touchpoints fire on a cadence you set: bid follow-up, project check-in, post-completion review request, and seasonal outreach. No GC falls out of contact because you got busy.
Repeat customer and referral follow-up
78% of drywall repair jobs come from repeat customers or referrals. Command identifies completed residential jobs, fires a follow-up at 30 days and 12 months, and tracks referral sources. Every satisfied homeowner becomes a pipeline - automatically, without you making the call.
Material delivery coordination
Board delivery windows coordinated with hang phase scheduling automatically. Command cross-references your job board with supplier lead times and crew availability. When a delivery date shifts, affected jobs are flagged and crew schedules updated. No more showing up to a site that doesn't have board.
How Command works for drywall.
From the first call to the final punch - every phase tracked, every GC relationship maintained, every margin known in advance.
GC calls or homeowner texts about a repair, new build, or finish scope
The AI phone agent answers every call - residential homeowner or general contractor. It identifies the job type (repair, hang, finish-only), qualifies the scope, and routes the lead appropriately. GC calls are flagged immediately and routed to your relationship management system. No voicemail. No missed opportunities with your most valuable customers.
Job type confirmed - right estimate flow activated
Command identifies whether it's a repair, full hang, or finish-only scope and activates the appropriate estimate flow. Repair flow collects damage description, approximate area, and finish level. Hang flow routes to field measurement intake. Finish-only flow collects existing board condition and finish spec. The wrong template is never used on the wrong job type.
Field tech measures on-site - estimate built from real dimensions
For hang and finish-only jobs, the tech uses the Inspector app on-site. Room dimensions, ceiling heights, opening deductions, and surface notes are entered by zone. Command calculates board count, joint compound, tape, corner bead, and labor time automatically. A branded, itemized estimate is generated from real measurements - no guesswork.
New construction job added to phase board - crew and delivery coordinated
On job acceptance, Command adds the project to the new construction phase board. Phase milestones, crew assignments, and board delivery windows are coordinated automatically against current crew schedules and supplier lead times. When delivery dates shift, affected jobs are flagged. When a phase completes, the next phase is queued.
Job closes - GC touchpoint queued, repeat customer follow-up scheduled
On completion, Command queues a post-job review request, schedules a 30-day follow-up for residential customers, and logs the job against the GC's relationship record. The GC relationship cadence continues automatically. The residential customer enters the repeat and referral pipeline. Your future revenue builds itself.
A real estimate. Right job type, right price.
This is a full hang and finish estimate built from field measurements - branded, itemized, sent by SMS.
A week in the life with Command.
Daily brief. 47 active jobs. Nothing missing.
You open the Daily Brief - 47 active new construction projects at various phases, 3 transitioning from hang to tape today, 2 board deliveries scheduled before noon. Command flagged one delivery window conflict: the supplier pushed back 4 hours and crew is already booked. You reschedule in two taps. The crew gets notified. You didn't have to make a single call.
Harmon Builders calls. You're ready.
Brad from Harmon Builders calls about a 14-unit townhome project going to bid next month. Command shows you Harmon's full history - 6 projects over 3 years, $340K in revenue, last contact 44 days ago. You pull up the relationship record before he finishes saying hello. You bid with full context. No scrambling. No awkward 'let me look that up.'
Repair job priced right. Margin intact.
A homeowner calls about a water-damaged ceiling - two rooms, approximately 200 sq ft of removal and replace with Level 4 finish. The tech inputs the actual measurements on-site. The repair flow prices it correctly: demo, board, tape, finish, texture match. $1,840. Not $1,200 like the last time someone used the hang template for a repair. Estimate sent from the parking lot. Accepted by 3pm.
Payroll done. GC follow-ups queued for Monday.
Payroll calculates from GPS-verified clock-in and clock-out across all 47 active jobs. No timesheets. No disputes. Command also queued 3 GC touchpoints for Monday morning - two bid follow-ups and one post-project check-in with Harmon. You approve payroll in two taps, review Monday's queue, and close your laptop. The pipeline is working while you're not.
What Command replaces for drywall contractors.
Most drywall companies are paying for 4–5 disconnected tools - or one that's far too complex. Command replaces all of them and actually integrates the data.

Drywall-specific answers.
How does Command handle drywall estimates when full room measurements are required?
Command's Inspector app guides field technicians through a structured room-by-room measurement intake on-site. Techs input ceiling height, wall linear footage, door and window opening deductions, and surface condition by zone. Command calculates board count, joint compound, tape, corner bead, and labor time automatically from those measurements. The branded, itemized estimate is built from real field data - no guessing, no manual math, no back-of-envelope calculations that result in underpriced jobs.
Can Command manage new construction volume with dozens of simultaneous projects?
Yes. Command's new construction project board tracks every active job by phase: framing inspection, board delivery, hang, tape, finish, punch, and close. Crew assignments, material delivery dates, and phase transition checkpoints are all visible on one board. When a delivery date shifts, affected jobs are automatically flagged. When a phase completes, the next phase is queued. Drywall contractors managing 60 active new construction projects on Command report it feels like managing 10 - because nothing falls through the cracks.
How does Command maintain relationships with general contractors?
Command tracks every GC in your pipeline - last contact date, open bids, awarded projects, and revenue history by GC over time. Automated touchpoints fire on a schedule you configure: bid follow-up reminders, project check-in messages, post-completion review requests, and seasonal outreach campaigns. When a GC hasn't been contacted in a set number of days, Command flags them and queues an outreach task. Contractors with systematic GC outreach programs on Command book 4.5x more commercial work than those who rely on memory and relationship inertia.
Does Command handle repair, hang, and finish-only estimate flows separately?
Yes - these are three completely separate estimate engines. The repair flow covers damage type, patch size, finish level, and texture match requirements. The full hang flow covers room measurements, board type (5/8, 1/2, moisture-resistant), ceiling height, fire rating requirements, and commercial vs residential spec. The finish-only flow covers existing board condition, level of finish (Level 3, 4, or 5), and texture specification. Using the right flow for each job type means accurate pricing across the full revenue range - from a $400 repair to an $18,000 commercial hang and finish.
The platform powering it all.
Right flow for every job type
