TRACEBUILT VERIFIED TB
AI-Native Collaboration Platform

The record that
assembles itself.

TraceBuilt orchestrates the flow of plans, issues, and resolutions between production homebuilders and trade partners — and keeps an immutable record of every handoff, every decision, every file version.

Your email is not a legal defense.

When the construction defect claim arrives three years from now, your attorneys will spend months reconstructing a timeline from scattered emails, departed employees' accounts, and people's memories. The reconstruction will be expensive, incomplete, and contradictory.

$200K+

Discovery costs per claim

Attorneys reconstruct timelines from email servers, personal devices, and departed employees' accounts. Six months of work that produces incomplete, contradictory evidence.

5-10 days

Lost per issue to email chains

A field issue bounces between CM, coordinator, engineer, and truss designer through email. Each handoff takes hours. Nobody knows where the issue stands.

2x–5x

Redundant engineering spend

A division architect adapts a plan for a new energy code without knowing that another division solved the same problem six months ago. The builder pays for identical work.

Every handoff lost in email. Every decision unrecorded. Every resolution untraceable.
There is a better way.

Three systems working together.

TraceBuilt isn't one thing — it's three interlocking capabilities that production homebuilders have never had in a single platform.

Every decision. On the record.

"When the attorney calls three years later, the timeline is already assembled."
  • SHA-256 hash-chained audit trail — tamper-evident by design
  • Every handoff timestamped, every file versioned, every acknowledgment recorded
  • Eliminates the "nobody told me" defense — delivery confirmation and view tracking
  • Exportable legal timeline with chain-of-custody verification
  • 10-year minimum retention matching longest statute of limitations

AI SUGGESTION — SWAT-04217
This looks like a Structural issue (87% confidence). 3 similar tickets resolved on this plan — avg resolution: 4.2 days via Engineering → Truss routing.
Accept Override

Field to resolution in five structured steps.

Every SWAT ticket follows a traceable path — from the moment a construction manager spots an issue to verified resolution. No email. No guesswork. No lost handoffs.

1
Construction Manager

Issue discovered on-site

CM creates a SWAT ticket directly from the field — photos, GPS location, voice-to-text description. AI suggests the category and surfaces similar past issues instantly.

SWAT-04217 created • Structural • Lot 42, Sunset Ridge
2
Project Coordinator

Review, route, and track

Coordinator reviews the ticket, confirms the category, and routes to the right discipline. The system auto-assembles a scoped work package with only the relevant files and context.

Routed to Smith Engineering • SLA: 48 hours • Work package assembled
3
Trade Partner

Acknowledge, commit, deliver

The trade partner receives the work package, acknowledges receipt (SLA clock starts), commits to a delivery date, and uploads their resolution. Three taps. Full accountability.

Acknowledged 15:41 • Committed: Feb 5 • Delivered: Feb 5 11:02
4
Coordinator

Review and approve

Coordinator reviews the deliverable with AI quality signals. If approved, routes to the next discipline or marks as resolved. If incomplete, requests changes — all recorded.

Resolution approved • Routed to Alpine Truss for truss revision
5
Construction Manager

Field verification

CM verifies the fix in the field with a photo. Ticket closes. The complete timeline — every handoff, every file, every timestamp — is permanently on the record.

Verified in field • Ticket closed • Total: 5 days • Hash-chained ✓

AI at every decision point.

Five AI touchpoints embedded directly into the workflow — not bolted on, not a chatbot. Every suggestion is traced, auditable, and improves with your organization's data.

"Seen this before?"

During ticket creation, the AI surfaces similar past tickets on the same plan or community. Prevents duplicates. Makes systemic issues visible on ticket #2, not #12.

5-10min saved per ticket on "have we seen this?" calls

Lot intelligence

Anomaly detection flags lots with unusual ticket patterns. "This lot has 4x the average SWAT tickets for this construction stage." Catches design problems early.

4xanomaly detection threshold

Smart categorization

Auto-classifies tickets from photos and descriptions. Getting category right the first time saves 1-2 days of re-routing per ticket. Accuracy improves with every override.

80%+target first-try accuracy

Routing intelligence

Historical patterns and trade partner performance at the point of routing. "Similar tickets route Engineering → Truss 73% of the time, avg 3.1-day turnaround."

73%routing pattern confidence

Quality signals

Flags potentially incomplete deliverables before the coordinator reviews. "Similar resolutions typically include a load path analysis — this submission does not appear to include one."

2-5days saved per avoided revision cycle

Pattern detection

Clusters similar issues across communities and plans. "Truss-related SWAT tickets up 180% in Sunset Ridge over 2 weeks — 7 tickets across 4 plans." Turns reactive tickets into proactive quality.

+180%anomaly detected in sample data

Every AI suggestion is recorded in the audit trail: what was suggested, the confidence score, the model version, and whether the human accepted, modified, or rejected it. AI is part of the traceability story, not separate from it.

Every role sees exactly what they need.

Three distinct interfaces for three distinct workflows. Field-optimized for CMs, data-dense for coordinators, minimal for trade partners.

Industry standard vs. TraceBuilt.

This isn't incremental. It's a structural change in how builders and trade partners collaborate.

Industry Standard

Email chains between 6+ parties with no tracking or version control
Spreadsheets for SLA tracking — manually maintained, immediately stale
No audit trail — $200K+ to reconstruct timelines from scattered evidence
Institutional knowledge walks out the door when employees leave
Quality issues found one lot at a time — after drywall, after move-in
Same engineering solutions purchased multiple times across divisions

With TraceBuilt

Structured handoffs with delivery confirmation and acknowledgment tracking
Real-time SLA monitoring with automated escalation at 75%, 100%, 124h
Immutable, hash-chained audit trail exportable as a verified legal timeline
AI-powered institutional memory that learns and persists with every ticket
Plan-level propagation — one QC finding flags all 40 affected lots instantly
Cross-division plan search finds existing solutions before duplicate work starts

A genuinely unclaimed position.

The construction management software market is $14.9B and growing. But no platform addresses the specific traceability and orchestration needs of production homebuilders.

Why now

  • Rising construction defect litigation — 4 states expanded statutes in 2025
  • Code complexity accelerating — IECC cycles, local amendments, new wind maps
  • Skilled labor shortage stretching trade partners across more builders
  • AI maturity — embeddings, similarity search, and classification now production-ready

Competitive moat

  • Immutable hash-chained audit trail — no competitor has it, hard to retrofit
  • Trade partner network effects — each builder onboarded enriches the ecosystem
  • Organizational AI that compounds — models improve per customer over time
  • Deep domain expertise — built by people who know production homebuilding

Built for production homebuilders
who demand accountability.
