Your vendor's contracted price becomes the job budget, the budget becomes the purchase orders, and every bill reconciles against them — nothing typed twice, nothing bought at the wrong price. The AI drafts the busywork; you approve it.
Most construction software stores what someone typed. AD ERP derives it — so the number on the PO is the number you negotiated, every time.
Every vendor has a price per cost code, locked to a scope. One upload loads them all.
Takeoff quantities × contract prices. The budget builds itself, per plan, per lot.
Buy out a whole house in one pass. Committed cost updates the moment a PO is issued.
Invoices reconcile against the PO. Anything off-price or over-scope gets flagged, not paid.
Plans and takeoffs, estimating, budgets, vendor contracts, purchase orders, scheduling, bills, draws, change orders, warranty — and portals for your trades and homebuyers.
Budget, committed, and actual side by side — per job, per cost code, per division. Variance shows up when a PO is issued, not when the invoice lands.
How your company runs a job, on the screen where the work happens. One switch in the top bar turns numbered steps on for a new hire — and off for someone who's done it a thousand times.
Vendors get a link — no login, no seat to buy. They acknowledge the PO and confirm or propose a date. Accept it and the schedule updates itself.
Issued, sent, confirmed, billed, paid — the whole job's paper trail in one place, tied to the PO it belongs to.
Quantities per cost code, per plan, feeding budgets automatically.
Leads to signed homebuyer, options priced into the job.
Every job, every trade, every date — with vendor confirmations.
AP against POs, lender draws, retention, 1099 totals.
Scope changes with client sign-off before the money moves.
Reporting out of the box, and your data open through an API.
Two agents work inside the system, on your data, under your permissions. Neither one can write anything on its own.
Tell it “HVAC costs are up 4% this quarter — raise every HVAC contract price.” It finds every affected line, works out the new numbers, and stages one approval card showing the old price beside the new one. Nothing moves until you press Approve.
“Which jobs are over budget?” typed like a text message, answered from the same live numbers on your dashboard. It names the job, the community and the dollar amount, so you know where to look.
Not a mockup. This is the working system — contract prices becoming budgets and purchase orders, the AI drafting a bulk price change and waiting for approval, and step-by-step SOPs on every screen.

You'll never get a custom quote based on how much you build, and your price won't climb because you had a good year.
$2,500 one-time setup — one spreadsheet upload loads your vendors and contract prices, and we check it against what you're actually paying.
For a builder doing 150–200 homes a year, running purchasing with real cost control:
| AD ERP | Buildertrend | Legacy builder ERP | |

Buildertrend figures from a current quote for a 150–200-home builder — Tier 2 implementation included, optional onsite consulting $9,600. Legacy ERP figures are typical published implementation ranges for MarkSystems / NEWSTAR-class systems.
AD ERP was built by the person who ran buyout for a builder doing 1,000+ homes — vendor pricing, bid evaluation, cost codes, plan and option structures. Every workflow in it was designed against live jobs, not customer interviews.
No slides. We'll put a live job on screen, build a budget from vendor contracts, turn it into purchase orders, and let the AI draft a price change you approve. If it doesn't fit how you buy, you'll know inside twenty minutes.
