The tools that
actually matter
on a job site

01
Your personal build roadmap
Choose your project type and Field Guide CM builds your roadmap — permits, trades, sequencing, and scheduling. Send quote requests to contractors directly from the platform. Accepted quotes auto-populate your budget and schedule. No spreadsheets. No guesswork.
02
S&S spec-driven checklists
Every inspection checklist knows exactly what was approved. Rebar size from the structural drawings. Mix design from the approved submittal. S&S field standards. All in one place before you step on site — no paper, no cross-referencing, no excuses.
03
Hard schedule gates
Work cannot proceed past a hold point until it passes inspection. Not a warning. Not a suggestion. A gate. The schedule enforces quality — so you don't have to fight for it on every pour.
04
Zone-based partial locks
When an inspection fails, only the affected rooms lock. The plumber keeps working in the kitchen while the framing issue at grid C/4 gets resolved. No unnecessary shutdowns. No lost time on unrelated work.
05
The road — live CPM
The critical path shown as a road you travel toward completion. Delay branches fork off and show you exactly how a submittal delay rippled into a three-week schedule shift. Clear to everyone — GC, inspector, and homeowner alike.
06
Budget that moves with the project
Track original contract value, approved change orders, committed costs, and payments in one live view. Pay applications route through the right approvers. Retainage is tracked automatically. Lien waivers stored with every payment. Full financial suite on the web — clean summary on the app.
07
Dynamic submittal approvals
Select a submittal category and the platform suggests the right reviewers — structural routes to your engineer, architectural to your architect, finishes to the owner. Add both when a connection detail needs both. The chain is yours to build. Final approval is always with the right authority.
08
Total homeowner transparency
Every milestone. Planned vs. actual. Delay reasons in plain language. Approved finish selections. Budget status. The homeowner sees the real picture — which builds more trust than any email update ever could.
09
Everyone on the same page
The project directory puts every player — GC, subs, architect, engineer, inspector, lender, building official — in one place with their role, company, and contact. S&S sets it up. Everyone gets the right access. Nothing falls through the cracks because someone wasn't in the loop.

We don't just
build the tool.
We run the job.

Sage & Stone Consulting provides full-service construction management for residential projects. We serve as your construction manager — owning the quality record, governing the schedule, and representing your interests from groundbreaking to certificate of occupancy.
