01
ScheduleControl the date, not just the task list.
Build a real dependency network, calculate the critical path, compare against baselines, account for working calendars, and see which decision or delivery can actually move completion.
Gantt + full project calendarCritical path, float, lag, and dependenciesBaselines, forecasts, inspections, and latest-safe dates

MoneyKnow the real cost before it becomes a surprise.
Follow original budget, current budget, commitments, purchase orders, invoices, payments, contingency, approved changes, and forecast at completion without letting financial progress masquerade as physical progress.

Project intelligenceSee physical progress. Prove what changed.
BuildHelm separates verified progress, observed progress, and planned progress. Field evidence feeds a Project Reality model that compares what should exist, what was promised, what arrived, what was observed, and what was billed.

Why BuildHelm One feels different
Critical path, baselines, dependencies, inspections, selections, and latest-safe dates make schedule risk visible early.
Ask questions, surface conflicts, and draft actions from project records while consequential decisions stay human-authorized.
Move from a project health signal to the task, document, photo, decision, or evidence behind it in a few clicks.
Classify, extract, version, link, compare, and reconcile plans, quotes, contracts, invoices, permits, BOMs, and field evidence.
Capture photos, files, notes, approvals, and site activity from the phone with an offline-first workflow built for the jobsite.
Build with one project truth
