Birdog is real CPM scheduling — critical path, float, dependencies — fused with an engine, powered by AI, that texts, follows up, and calls every sub until the job is confirmed. There's nothing like it on the market.

04 · THE BACKSTOP

And when a sub goes quiet? Watch what happens before your phone ever rings.

And Birdog doesn't clock out once a task starts — in-flight check-ins at the midpoint and before the finish hold every sub accountable until the job is done.

05 · PLAY IT YOURSELF

Playable, not a video.

No signup. Twelve chapters. You'll run the schedule as the GC — then flip roles and answer as the sub, one tap per reply, while an AI reads it like a real text.

06 · HOW IT WORKS

Construction scheduling software that runs the follow-up for you

1
Build your schedule

Pro-level CPM — dependencies, float, critical path. The Gantt chart computes it for you.

2
Publish it

Every task with a sub is queued for reminders. No calendar invites. No group chat.

Publish
✓ 87 of 121 tasks queued across 13 subs
3
Subs confirm by text — in their own words

An AI reads replies in English and Spanish — questions, doubles, and delays included.

Concrete's not cured, need a few more days
✓ Birdog understood: needs 2 more days — drafting a schedule change
4
You approve changes in one tap

The whole project recalculates and everyone downstream gets fresh texts in seconds.

Exterior wall framing: Thu, Aug 20 → Mon, Aug 24
Whole downstream chain shifts · project end +2 days
Approve
IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
07 · THE APP

iOS, Android, and web for you. Plain texts for your subs.

08 · THE MATH

What does the chasing cost you now?

Active projects{{ calcPr }}
Subs per project{{ calcSu }}
Schedule changes per week{{ calcCh }}
Minutes per chase call or text{{ calcMi }}
~{{ calcHours }} hours
a month, back in your week.

How we calculate this ▾

Each sub gets about 2.5 confirmations per project that you'd otherwise chase yourself, and every schedule change triggers roughly 3 calls or texts a week to keep trades aligned. Multiply by your minutes per chase, divide by 60. Round numbers, no fake precision.

Hours you don't spend chasing are hours on the next job.
09 · PRICING

One number. No seat math.

$150 / project

Priced per project, not per user — add your whole team at no extra cost.

Supers, PMs, office — everyone on the job sees the same schedule and the same notifications.

10 · THE VIRTUAL SUPER

A virtual superintendent for the part of the job nobody likes.

Chasing, confirming, re-confirming — call it 40–60% of a super's week. Birdog does that part. Your supers walk the job, check quality, and build. And when the chasing is handled, one super runs more work at once — more projects, more volume, same payroll.

Fewer phone calls More projects per super Nothing slips quietly
11 · BUILT BY CONTRACTORS, FOR CONTRACTORS
"I was able to lower chasing my subs from 10ish hours a week per project to just a few minutes a day.
— Rolling Valley LLC
"Using Birdog has significantly improved both productivity and collaboration across our project teams. I especially appreciate the automated follow-ups with subcontractors, and notifications to project management when there is a schedule risk. These features allow project leadership to stay focused on higher-value priorities.
— Jaran Gray, Pillar CM
{{ roadmapKicker }}

Birdog's accountability engine is becoming a full virtual superintendent. Here's what's on the bench.

AI scheduling copilot
  • AI schedule-creation assistant, with WBS support
  • Schedule health score — project, phase, and activity level, before you first publish
  • PDF scan & import from other software, with confidence ratings on every relationship
  • Natural-language changes — "move Building 2 framing back three days and keep everything else tight"
  • AI what-if — "what happens if concrete slips five days?"
  • Automatic recovery schedules — lowest cost, earliest completion, least disruption
Predictive intelligence
  • Schedule risk forecast — "based on three unresolved confirmations, there's a 68% chance drywall slips"
  • Critical-path early warning — see a secondary path going hot before it becomes critical
  • Sub-specific durations — "this electrician historically needs 11 days for this scope; you scheduled 8"
  • Cross-project conflict detection — one sub booked on two of your jobs at once, trade stacking, missing inspections or materials
Site operations
  • Photo documentation by text — subs text a photo, Birdog files it to the task
  • Automatic 1-, 3-, and 6-week look-aheads, plus owner-ready calendar reports
  • Inspection & prerequisite gating — "you're ready to start" waits for the inspection, delivery, or RFI it depends on
  • One consolidated text per sub — four upcoming tasks, one intelligent message
  • The accountability engine on every PM process — RFIs, submittals, invoicing, closeout
Portals & network
  • Subcontractor portal with calendar booking
  • Architect and engineer portals
  • Homeowner, owner-builder, and property-management portals — maintenance and warranty
  • GC ↔ sub networking and contact exchange
