You're chasing the answers in. IIVY does the chasing.

The architect is the counterparty; the trades are yours. IIVY chases RFI responses inbound, lines up the next trade before the current one finishes, texts the crews for end-of-day updates, and keeps the sequence moving while you sleep — grounded in the project's real documents and correspondence, every message disclosed and journaled.

The GC's leak

Your margin doesn't leak on labor. It leaks on the answers that come late — and the change orders you can't prove.

A superintendent can only chase so many open threads before something slips. The RFI that ages out, the delivery nobody confirmed, the extra work performed on a verbal that never made it to paper. That last one is where the money actually goes.

77%
written off
77% of specialty trade contractors have written off change-order work as bad debt — labor performed, never paid, because the paper trail didn't hold. The same gap costs GCs on the other side of every disputed extra.

A GC's day, run for you

The loops point outward — and IIVY runs every one.

4:58 PM
The framer texts that footings are poured.
IIVY logs it and confirms the electrician for rough-in before the truck leaves — so tomorrow's inspection doesn't strand the next trade.
6:15 PM
The drywaller has gone quiet on Thursday.
It texts him first, gets a “pushed to Monday,” and flags the two-day gap against the schedule while there's still time to reshuffle.
8:30 AM
RFI-12 to the architect is aging.
IIVY chases by email, cites the exact drawing sheet, and puts the clock on the reply so it doesn't slip past its window.
1:00 PM
The truss delivery is at risk.
It chases the supplier for a firm date, and warns you the moment the date threatens the crane pick you already booked.

Every step is disclosed to the people on the thread, cited to its source, and journaled as it happens.

What it closes for you

Every open loop on the job — driven to zero, with the evidence attached.

Typed by kind, chased on cadence, closed to a documented outcome.

RFIs, inbound
Chased until answered
IIVY pursues the architect and engineers for the response, cites the sheet in question, and escalates to you only if it stalls past cadence.
Submittals
Moved through review
It tracks what's out, whose desk it's on, and how long it's been there — and nudges before the turnaround blows the schedule.
Trade sequencing
The next crew, lined up
When one trade wraps, IIVY confirms the next is coming — the ripple that keeps the critical path moving without a super babysitting it.
Deliveries & inspections
Watched to the day
Delivery dates, inspection windows, and their prerequisites — surfaced before they lapse and cost a week.
Change orders
The record that holds
Extra work is captured with its trigger, its evidence, and its trail — so a priced COR moves toward signature instead of becoming bad debt.
End-of-day check-ins
The crews, on the record
IIVY texts the trades for their EOD update and compiles the daily log — who worked, what happened, what's blocked — as a dated record.
Before the job even starts

Same machinery, at bid time: chasing sub quotes to the deadline.

Chasing a bid list for sub-quotes is the same coordination problem — loops, cadence, silence-chasing — on IIVY's home turf, where the takeoff already feeds your number. Many teams meet IIVY here first, then keep it on the job when they win the work.
