# Orvo — full brief > Construction software for owners who still run the job. Orvo is construction software for owners of construction companies who still run the job. An agent drafts estimates, change orders, and contracts from work the company has already done, and puts them in front of the owner. Clock-in, daily logs, receipts, and QuickBooks live in the same place. Nothing that spends money, signs a name, or promises a date goes out unless the owner says so. ## Entity - Product: Orvo - Category: Construction software - Publisher: Orton Industries LLC - Ownership: Orvo is built, owned and operated fully by Orton Industries LLC. - Address: 6701 Corporate Drive, STE N, Johnston, IA 50131 - Email: contact@orvo.build - Site: https://www.orvo.build - Status: Orvo is open. Create a workspace to start. - Built: Built inside a construction company, for construction companies. - Platforms: iOS, Android, Web ## Who it is for - Owners of construction companies who still touch the work - Remodelers, residential builders, and specialty contractors - Shops of about four to twenty-five people - Owners who already have QuickBooks and a time clock and are tired of stitching them together ## Who it is not for - A field-service dispatcher for plumbing or lawn routes - An enterprise suite for a hundred-person general contractor - A replacement for an accountant or for QuickBooks - Software that runs the company without the owner ## What it does The estimate becomes the contract. The contract becomes the job. The books stay attached. ### Estimates Drafts a price from a job the company already did, with line items the owner can edit before it goes to the client. ### Change orders Writes the extra work that was agreed on site into a change order the owner approves and the client signs. ### Contracts and signatures Turns an accepted estimate into a contract and sends it for signature on the client’s phone. ### The job file Proposal, planning, execution, and warranty on one page — where the job stands, what it costs, what is true. ### Daily logs, schedule, and clock-in Who was on site, the hours off the clock-in, and the crew’s photos, already on the job file. ### Receipts, budgets, payments, and QuickBooks Job cost and overhead in one ledger. QuickBooks connects. A Home Depot run is a job cost, not a mystery. Also in the same place: leads, selections, vendors, sub views, files, crews, timesheets, client portal. ## Feature pages ### Estimating - [Estimating](https://www.orvo.build/features/estimating): Price the next job from one you already built. - [Change orders](https://www.orvo.build/features/change-orders): Write the extra work before it comes out of the margin. - [Contracts](https://www.orvo.build/features/contracts): Turn the accepted estimate into the agreement. ### The job - [Job management](https://www.orvo.build/features/job-management): Proposal through warranty, on one job file. - [Scheduling](https://www.orvo.build/features/scheduling): The look-ahead lives on the job, not a whiteboard. - [Daily logs](https://www.orvo.build/features/daily-logs): What happened on site, written the day it happened. - [Selections](https://www.orvo.build/features/selections): Allowances and finishes, chosen before they are installed. - [To-dos](https://www.orvo.build/features/to-dos): Punch items and checklists that stay on the job. - [Files](https://www.orvo.build/features/files): Drawings, photos, and PDFs on the job they belong to. ### People - [Clients](https://www.orvo.build/features/clients): The client, the property, and the notes in one directory. - [Client portal](https://www.orvo.build/features/client-portal): The quote and the selections, on the client’s phone. - [Leads](https://www.orvo.build/features/leads): A lead is a job you have not won yet. - [Vendors](https://www.orvo.build/features/vendors): Trade partners and their contacts, on the company. - [Sub views](https://www.orvo.build/features/sub-views): The subcontractor sees their slice of the job. - [Messages](https://www.orvo.build/features/messages): Notes on the estimate, the daily, the change — not a group text. ### Cost and crew - [Job costing](https://www.orvo.build/features/job-costing): Estimated, committed, and actual — while the job is open. - [Clock-in](https://www.orvo.build/features/clock-in): Hours land on the job the crew actually worked. - [Timesheets](https://www.orvo.build/features/timesheets): Approve the hours before they become payroll. - [Crews](https://www.orvo.build/features/crews): Named crews and a roster, not a group text. - [QuickBooks](https://www.orvo.build/features/quickbooks): Approved hours post to QuickBooks, on the job. ### The office - [Project updates](https://www.orvo.build/features/project-updates): A weekly status you read before anyone else does. - [Ask Orvo](https://www.orvo.build/features/ask-orvo): The agent drafts the office work.

It drafts from work the company already did. The owner approves. Nothing that spends money, signs a name, or promises a date leaves unless they say so. The owner stays responsible for what gets sent out. ## Signing up - Orvo is open. Create a workspace to start. - Sign up to create your workspace.

Orvo is construction software for owners who still run the job. An agent drafts estimates, change orders, and contracts from work you have already done, and puts them in front of you. Clock-in, daily logs, receipts, and QuickBooks live in the same place. You stay in charge. ### Who is Orvo for? Owners of construction companies who still touch the work — remodelers, residential builders, and specialty contractors, often four to twenty-five people — who are tired of being the office after the crew goes home. It is not a field-service dispatcher and it is not an enterprise suite. ### Is this going to try to run my company without me? No. An agent drafts the work and puts it in front of you. Nothing that spends money, signs a name, or promises a date to a client goes out unless you say so. You are still in charge and fully responsible for what gets sent out. ### What if I already have QuickBooks, a client folder and a time clock? Bring them. Orvo is the office those tools should have lived in. QuickBooks connects. Clients get a real view instead of a shared folder. The crew clocks in on the job instead of on a separate app nobody opens. ### How is this different from Jobber, Buildertrend, or a folder of PDFs? Those tools each do a slice. Orvo is the job — the estimate becomes the contract, the contract becomes the job, and the books stay attached. An agent drafts the office work from jobs you already did, so you are not starting from a blank page. You approve what goes out. The subscription is month to month, with no annual contract. How the price sits next to Jobber is on the Price page. Orvo is not cheaper than every Jobber plan. ### What does signing up actually mean? Orvo is open. Create a workspace to start. Sign up to create your workspace. You are billed month to month, with no annual contract. Month to month. No annual plan, no annual contract, cancel anytime. The numbers are on the Price page. The app shows the price again before you are charged. This site is not the product contract. ### Is my crew going to need training? Clock-in and daily logs are built for a phone in a gloved hand on a windy site. The owner side is built for a desk. Nobody is handing you a forty-page manual. And just ask Orvo anything and it will teach you how to use it! ### What’s the price? Month to month. No annual plan, no annual contract, cancel anytime. The numbers are on the Price page. The app shows the price again before you are charged. ### Is Orvo available today? Orvo is open. Create a workspace to start. Month to month. No annual plan, no annual contract, cancel anytime. The numbers are on the Price page. The app shows the price again before you are charged. This site is not the product contract.
