● Beyond the Big 5

Custom Builds.

Not a form, not a plug-in. A piece of software built for exactly how your company works, living right inside your FORA account.

What's actually possible

If it's a process, it can probably be built.

The Big 5 cover what almost every crew files day to day. Custom Builds are for the parts of your operation that are specific to you: the spreadsheet nobody trusts anymore, the paper log that lives in a truck, the process you've been meaning to fix for two years. A Custom Build isn't bolted on beside FORA. It's built into it, using the same login, the same roster, and the same Supervisor Dashboard your crew already knows.

🛠️

Preventative Maintenance

Service intervals tracked by hours or mileage per machine, with automatic flags when something's coming due.

⏱️

Time Clock

A real clock-in/clock-out system tied to your roster, with hours that flow straight into your own reporting.

📋

Monthly Site Inspections

A structured monthly walk-through built around your own checklist, not a generic industry template.

🔥

Permit-to-Work

Hot work, confined space, or working-at-heights permits, with the same issue-sign-close flow as an FLHA.

🎓

Certification Tracking

Every ticket and certificate in one place, with an automatic heads-up before something lapses, not after.

🔗

Client-Facing Reports

A read-only, shareable link a general contractor or client can open to see your current documentation record, without touching your dashboard.

📊

Custom Analytics

A dashboard built around the specific numbers you actually get asked for, not a one-size-fits-all report.

👥

Subcontractor & Visitor Tracking

Sign-in, orientation, and access records for anyone on site who isn't on your own roster.

Fuel & Consumables Logs

Whatever you're already tracking on a clipboard or in a spreadsheet, turned into a proper form your crew actually uses.

That's a sample, not a menu. If you're picturing something that isn't on this list, that's normal. Most Custom Builds aren't. Tell us the process and we'll tell you if, and how, it fits inside FORA.

How it works

Four steps from idea to something you can log into.

01

Tell us what's broken

No spec doc required. Describe the process, the form, or the headache in plain language. A voice note, an email, or a call works fine.

02

We scope it

You get a plain-language breakdown of what would actually get built, and a fixed quote before any work starts. No hourly rate, no surprises.

03

It gets built into your account

Not a separate app, not a separate login. It shows up inside FORA, next to the Big 5, using the same roster and dashboard your crew already knows.

04

You only pay for what's specific to you

Auth, database, PDF exports, and multi-tenant security already exist. A Custom Build is the part that's actually new, which is why it costs less than people assume.

Always learning

Every Custom Build plugs into the same Brain as the Big 5.

It's not a chatbot, it's a memory: built from your own SOPs and equipment, and sharper the longer your crew uses it. It's also what separate systems, like an FLHA, Time Clock, and a maintenance ticket, are built toward reading each other instead of sitting in silos.

A Custom Build isn't just built once and left alone. It's built into the same account the Brain already knows, so it benefits from the same company-specific context as the Big 5 from day one, and it's one more source of signal the Brain is built to grow into cross-referencing against everything else running in your account.

Priced by project scope

More affordable than most people think.

Custom software has a reputation for six-figure price tags and six-month timelines. That's not how this works. A Custom Build isn't a platform built from scratch. It's a new piece added to a platform that already exists. The login system, the database, the PDF exports, the security, the mobile-friendly interface: all of that is already built and already running. You're only paying for the part that's actually specific to your company, which is usually a lot smaller than it sounds. Custom Builds are quoted by project scope. Tell us what you need, and you'll get a real number, not a guess.

Quotes come directly from the person who'll build it: a real person, based in Central Alberta, not a sales team reading from a script.
