Field operations for specialty contractors

The schedule is the plan. Know whether it happened.

Your schedule tells you what should happen. Operative Spaces tells you who has the current assignment, who confirmed it, who arrived and what needs attention. Workers receive and respond by text, so the field does not need another app.

Built for contractors running multiple crews across multiple jobsites.

Early access is currently invite-only.

The gap after the schedule

Sending the schedule does not tell you whether the crew is ready.

Specialty contractors already plan work in project systems, spreadsheets, work orders and other back-office tools. The uncertainty starts after the assignment leaves the office. Did the worker receive the current information? Did the worker confirm it? Did a later change replace what they already acknowledged? Did the crew arrive? Is something blocking the job?

Operative Spaces keeps those answers attached to the work.

In the AGC and Sage 2025 Construction Hiring and Business Outlook, 59% of contractors said they did not plan to change their software solutions. Communication between field and office and integration between internal software remained common IT challenges. Source: AGC and Sage, 2025 Construction Hiring and Business Outlook.

Sent is not confirmed. Confirmed is not arrived. Arrived is not complete.

When the job changes, workers confirm the new information.

A confirmation only matters if it applies to the information the worker is expected to follow. When an important assignment detail changes, Operative Spaces sends the update clearly and asks affected workers to confirm again.

The field already knows how to text.

Workers receive their assignment, confirm or decline, receive updates, ask job questions, report arrival and send field issues through ordinary text messages. No worker app is required for the core operating loop.

  • No app download. The assignment arrives in the worker's normal text messages.
  • No separate login. Workers do not need to remember another password just to receive tomorrow's job.
  • English and Spanish. Worker-facing assignments and ordinary operating messages can be delivered in the worker's configured language.

Answer job questions from approved information. Otherwise say no.

Workers can text questions about parking, access, start time and PPE. Operative Spaces answers only from worker-visible job information. If that information is missing, the product says it does not have the answer and creates an exception for the PM.

Arrival verification is not continuous worker tracking.

If someone cannot take the job, you can choose a replacement.

Operative Spaces shows why a worker is available for review. The PM makes the replacement decision.

Candidates are listed with reasons. There is no unexplained best-worker score.

Compare required credentials with what is on file.

Assignments can list required credentials. The office can compare those requirements with records on file. A credential that is not verified in Operative Spaces is not treated as a finding that the worker cannot do the work.

Not verified in Operative Spaces is not a finding that the worker cannot do the work.

Keep the systems that already run your business.

Project management, payroll, accounting and estimating systems already have jobs to do. Operative Spaces focuses on the daily handoff between the office plan and the crews executing the work. Keep your current systems. Close the gap between the plan and the field. Built to work alongside systems such as Procore rather than replace them.

Extracted or imported information stays in review until the PM approves it. If an upstream project record later changes, the office decides whether the assignment should change.
