Build a phased backend operations system for a general contracting business
I built a backend operations system for my husband’s general contracting business. It manages new leads, bids and estimates, in-progress jobs, receipts, expense tracking, job photos, invoicing, and other functions he needs—all in one app built with ChatGPT and Base44. I rolled it out in phases. Phase one focused on tracking jobs and their status, phase two added financials, and phase three introduced executive functions. Phase four will cover marketing, although he does not need that right now because he is solidly booked for months. Step-by-step: 1. I built an all-in-one backend operations app using ChatGPT and Base44. 2. In phase one, I added tracking for jobs and their current status. 3. In phase two, I implemented financial functions, including receipts and expense tracking. 4. In phase three, I added executive functions along with other operational features such as leads, bids and estimates, job photos, and invoicing. 5. I planned marketing features for phase four, but postponed them because the business is solidly booked for months.
