Trestle

The operating system for construction companies

Construction,organized.

Run estimating, procurement, field, and finance in one connected system — from the first lead to the final closeout. One source of truth for the whole business.

No number typed twiceEstimateBudgetPurchaseFieldBillProfit

01 — The problem

Your business runs in seven disconnected places.

Cost overruns, delayed approvals, lost documents, budget surprises — every one of them traces back to the same root cause. Information is fragmented across systems that don't talk to each other, and margin disappears in the gaps between them.

The industry doesn't have a software gap. It has a business-process gap that software has failed to close.

02 — The system

One number, everywhere it's needed.

The single design rule: no number is ever typed twice. An estimate line becomes a budget line, a committed PO, an actual cost, a billing line — the same object, moving through states.

01

Estimation & QS

DUPA and POW unit-price build-ups from a real cost database — versioned, locked on approval, one click to budget.

02

Budget & job costing

Committed, actual, and remaining on every cost code — variance visible the moment it appears, not at month-end.

Budget — committed vs actual
Concrete & rebar₱ 1,742,000 / 2,420,000
Formworks₱ 611,000 / 650,000
Electrical rough-in₱ 258,000 / 680,000
Formworks trending 6% over — flagged before the next PO

03

Procurement & POs

Material requests checked against the budget line, approvals routed, committed cost posted the moment a PO is issued.

03 — How it works

One connected spine, from estimate to profit.

Every peso, document, and decision is linked to the estimate line it came from and the project it belongs to. Enter data once — it flows everywhere.

01

Estimate

DUPA and POW build-ups from a real cost database. Win the bid with numbers you trust.

02

Budget

The won estimate becomes a working budget in one click. Same lines, no re-entry.

03

Purchase

POs raised against budget lines post committed cost the moment they're approved.

04

Field

Daily logs, photos, and deliveries captured offline on site, synced to the office.

05

Bill

Progress billing with retention, generated from verified accomplishment.

06

Profit

A live per-job P&L, read straight from the graph — not reconciled at month-end.

04 — The build plan

Three tiers. Each one complete.

You can't build an operating system in one go — and shouldn't. Each tier ships a full loop a contractor will pay for, and each one is the foundation the next is impossible without.

Tier 1 · MVP · months 0–6

The launchable spine

The smallest system a contractor will pay for — a complete estimate-to-profit loop, single data entry, field-first. Bid, win, budget, buy, build, bill, and see profit without opening Excel.

Tier 2 · V2 · months 6–20

The full operating loop

The whole business — office, field, money, and client — moves into one system. Scheduling, quality, safety, full financials with BIR e-invoicing, a client portal, and the first applied AI.

Platform & financial rails

The network becomes the moat: a supplier marketplace, financing against verified progress, a full project Copilot, and an open API others build on — the industry's operating rails.
