We use the same tech stack as billion-dollar GCs. You get daily logs, real-time photos, and total visibility from your phone.
The traditional construction experience is a black box. You hand over a massive deposit, and then you're left waiting for a weekly phone call that may or may not happen. You don't know if the drywall is up, if the plumbing passed inspection, or if the tile matches the franchisor's spec book until it's too late.
That lack of visibility breeds anxiety. At Olive Tree Builds, we believe that you shouldn't have to drive to the job site every day just to know what's happening with your investment. We've built our entire operation around total, tech-enabled transparency.
We deploy the same enterprise-grade construction management software used by the largest general contractors in North America, but we've tailored it specifically for the fast-paced world of franchise buildouts.
Transparency isn't a buzzword for us; it's a daily deliverable. Our site superintendents are required to submit comprehensive daily logs directly from the field. These aren't vague summaries. They detail exactly which trades were on site, what specific tasks were completed, and what the weather conditions were.
More importantly, these logs are accompanied by real-time photo documentation. You can open an app on your phone and see the progress of the framing, the installation of the HVAC ductwork, or the finishing touches on the millwork.
This visual proof is invaluable, especially for multi-unit operators or franchisees who live far from the site. It also provides a clear, undeniable record of the build, which is critical for franchisor approvals and landlord compliance.
Transparency extends beyond the physical construction; it must include your budget. We provide clear, itemized billing and proactive communication regarding any potential financial impacts.
If an unforeseen site condition requires a change order, we don't bury it in a final invoice. We document the issue immediately with photos, explain the necessary solution, and provide a clear cost breakdown for your approval before any additional work proceeds.
You will never receive a surprise bill at the end of a project. Our financial transparency ensures that you can manage your cash flow accurately and keep your investors or lenders fully informed throughout the buildout process.
No. We provide you with secure access to our client portal. You can view daily logs, photos, schedules, and financial documents from any web browser or through a free mobile app.
Yes. We can set up specific permission levels for different stakeholders. Your franchisor's construction manager can have access to view photos and plans, while your investors can review the financial updates.
In addition to the daily logs, your dedicated project manager will schedule a formal weekly review call to discuss the schedule, upcoming milestones, and any required decisions. However, they are always accessible if you have immediate questions.
Stop losing sleep over construction delays and budget blowouts. Partner with a contractor who thinks like an operator.
