Your PM writes 40+ RFIs a month at $90/hr. Cut that time in half — that's $1,400+/mo per PM, every month.

Field-drafted RFIs land already scoped, source-cited, ready to approve in one tap. Procore posts itself.

Your $100K/yr VDC stops fielding Revit-lookup interruptions. Their model finally pays off in the field.

Foremen never open Revit. They text a room number. You get every model property in plain English.

How Forward fits into your team.

Sits between the people in the field and the systems your office already uses. The PM stays in the loop on anything that writes back.

PM in the loop
Anything that writes to your system of record (RFIs, observations) routes through your PM’s approval queue first.

And a hundred other workflows.

Punch items, code lookups, wire/duct/pipe calcs, daily-log queries, change-order tracking — anything you’d normally walk back to the trailer for.
