Software for specialty contractors

One project.
One data spine.

Estimating, bidding, job management, field progress and crew time built to share the same project. A takeoff becomes an estimate, an estimate becomes a bid, an awarded bid becomes a job, and the job’s hours come back as production history. Nothing gets retyped, so nothing drifts.

The connected workflow

One project, start to finish.

The same project record carries from the first measurement to approved payroll — and what actually happened in the field comes back to sharpen the next estimate.

01
Takeoff

Measure the drawings. Quantities come off the sheet they belong to.

WattEstimateComing soon
02
Estimate

Assemblies, labor and material build the priced scope.

03
Bid

The opportunity, client history, rounds and documents on one board.

BidWatt
04
Job

Awarded work becomes a job without being retyped.

JobWatt
05
Field

Daily logs, photos and progress marked on the drawings.

PlanWatt
06
Time / Payroll

Crew hours, cost codes and approvals on their way to payroll.

TimeWatt
07
Production feedback

What actually happened on the job informs the next estimate.

AI · local agent

Not a chatbot. A crew member.

WattBot handles the reading, searching, summarizing and repetitive steps around the work — specs, project documents, routine drafts. It reads and drafts. Your people decide. It is designed to run on supported local hardware for the workflows configured that way.

The 1998 PC motif as a supporting visual, paired with real WattBot output or a real spec-review screen. The page should prove the software, not only the metaphor.

The demo runs in your browser — no account, nothing to install.

The estimator’s office

Or just walk through it.

Every product sits at the thing it replaced — the drafting table, the whiteboard, the plan rack, the punch clock, the 1998 PC. Scroll the room, click the objects, and see how one wire connects the whole desk. It is the same pitch, told the way a shop actually works.

The rendered estimator's office: bid board on the wall, drafting table with a blueprint, and a 1998 PC by the window.

Software built
for the trades.

Eleven tools on one data spine, each one where it belongs in a working estimating shop. The amber wire along the baseboard is the spine. A takeoff becomes an estimate, an estimate becomes a bid, a bid becomes a job, a job becomes hours. Nothing gets retyped, so nothing drifts.

Custom Watt Systems

Your workflow, turned into software.

Some businesses have a process too specific for off-the-shelf software and too important to keep running through spreadsheets, folders and text messages. We build focused operational software around the way that business actually works — estimating, quoting, scheduling, field reporting, approvals, portals, dashboards.

LawnWatt is the working proof. It was built around a landscaping operation’s real day, which is why it looks nothing like the contractor platform above. Same method, different industry.

Why it works

No magic. Just the job,
done right in software.

One connected spine

Project name, client, scopes, dates: entered once. A WattEstimate takeoff becomes a BidWatt bid; an awarded bid becomes a JobWatt job. Nothing gets retyped, so nothing drifts.

AI where it actually pays

Spec scanning, bid-invite email intake, job-health narratives. That’s WattBot working. It reads and drafts; your people decide. If it doesn’t save hours this week, it doesn’t ship.

Built by the user

Most construction software is built by people who’ve never priced a job. This suite runs a real estimating desk and real field crews first. The product is the byproduct.

Shipped from the jobsite

Every screen exists because someone on a crew needed it that week. Feedback on Monday becomes a feature by Friday. That loop is the whole company.

About Watt Systems

The tools came first.
The company came second.

Watt Systems started inside a working mechanical insulation contractor, with real bids going out the door every day. BidWatt was built to run an estimating desk. JobWatt followed the work into the field. FireWatt priced the firestop scope nobody had good software for. SubWatt ended the where’s-the-travel-rate scramble for good.

There was never a pitch deck. There was a rule: if it doesn’t save an estimator, PM, or foreman time this week, it doesn’t ship. The name came later. The rule never changed.

How we talk about the product

We do not publish customer counts, time-savings percentages, security certifications or integration claims we cannot demonstrate. Where a capability depends on configuration, the product pages say so. Ask us what is shipped versus planned and you will get a straight answer.

Who you are talking to

A small team that still prices real work. That is the reason the software fits the trade, and the reason feedback from a desk on Monday can be in the product this week.

Fair questions

Asked at every desk
we’ve sat at.

Can we run just one product?

Yes. Every product stands alone, and plenty of shops start with one. The spine is simply there the day you add a second one, so your data connects without a migration project.

Can we see it before signing anything?

Yes. Every product page has a demo request, and the free browser tools plus the WattBot demo need no account at all. Bring a real workflow to the call and we will walk through your scope, not a canned script.

Does it work in the field with bad service?

The field workflows are built for phones, and offline-tolerant behavior is part of the design. Ask us which specific screens are offline-ready in the release you would be running.

We already have a process. Will this fight it?

No. It was built inside a shop with a process. Statuses, scopes, breakouts and templates are yours to shape. The tools bend to how your desk already runs; they don’t hand you someone else’s workflow.

Is the AI going to price my work?

No. WattBot reads, drafts, and flags — it scans specs, summarizes job health, finds rates. Estimators price the work. That line doesn’t move.

What is a Custom Watt System?

Purpose-built operational software for a workflow that off-the-shelf tools do not fit — estimating, scheduling, field reporting, portals, approvals, dashboards. LawnWatt is the working example, built for a landscaping operation rather than a mechanical contractor.

Is LawnWatt part of the contractor platform?

No. LawnWatt is a Custom Watt System shown as proof the method transfers to other industries. The core platform is WattEstimate, FireWatt, BidWatt, JobWatt, PlanWatt and TimeWatt.

Where does our data live, and who can reach it?

Each product is its own deployment with access control enforced in the data layer, not just the interface. The Security & Data page explains the architecture and is explicit about the claims we will not make until they are verified.
