Problem
Construction projects often suffer from miscommunicated change orders, leading to rework, schedule delays, and increased costs when the right trades are not informed in time.
Solution
Flint offers a communication platform that captures change orders via voice notes or text and automatically routes the information to all affected crew members, subcontractors, and clients through familiar messaging apps such as WhatsApp. The system leverages the contractor’s existing contact database to identify who needs to act on each change, ensuring that updates are delivered only after the general contractor approves them. By integrating with the tools workers already use, Flint eliminates the need for separate apps or manual form entry, allowing changes to be communicated instantly and tracked in real time. This reduces the risk of costly rework, keeps projects on schedule, and provides a clear audit trail of who received and confirmed each update.
Target Audience
Flint is designed for general contractors and subcontractors who manage multiple trades on residential and commercial construction projects.
