1.How do you handle project closeout and punch lists right now? Genuinely curious what tools people use — is it spreadsheets, a specific app, WhatsApp photo dumps? How long does it typically take you per project?"

2.For GCs and specialty trade contractors — who on your team actually handles the closeout documentation? The PM? Superintendent? Do you outsource any of it? How many hours does a typical project closeout take?"

3.  What's the thing that most often delays you getting final payment on a project? Is it punch list disputes, missing documentation, owner approvals, something else?

4. Has anyone actually used Fieldwire or Procore for punch lists? Why did you stick with it or stop using it?

SMB: Small medium business. SMB contractors that generate under $10M in annual revenue.

I have been reading about AI agents and that they will be shopping on behalf of actual customers in the future.

1. Does that mean as a seller we need to get our catalogs to be AI agent friendly, are there any tools or services that I can use?
2. Has anyone seen any benefits of being AI agent ready
3. What is a good amount of money (USD) to spend on AI readiness, what tools should I use etc?
4. Can I self build it using claude or something like that?
