One assistant. The whole back office.
SQM handles the parts of contracting that eat your evenings. Here is what it does, and how each piece works.
Your back office, in a conversation
Tell SQM what happened on the job and it acts. No forms to fill, no menus to learn. You talk the way you would to an office manager, and the work gets done.
- Understands plain English: “I landed a kitchen remodel at 123 Main St, Austin.”
- Takes action, it doesn’t just answer. It starts the project, pulls the permits, and drafts the paperwork.
- Remembers your business, your jobs, and your clients, so you never repeat yourself.
- Works by voice or text, on the jobsite or in the truck.
SQM AssistantThe exact permits for the job, instantly
Enter a city and a job type and get the real permits, fees, timelines, and portal links, backed by live public permit data. Then track every submission from applied to approved.
- Real requirements for your launch cities, not a generic checklist.
- Live public permit data shows how active a city is and how long approvals really take.
- Direct links to the right department and online portal.
- A tracker that flags what is pending, expiring, or approved.

Contracts drafted from the job details
SQM already knows the client, the address, and the scope. Ask for a contract and it drafts one from what it has. You review, adjust, and export a clean PDF.
- Remodels, build-outs, subcontractor agreements, and change orders.
- Drafts from the project it already has, so the details are consistent.
- Plain, professional language you can edit before it goes out.
- Export to PDF, ready to sign.

Framing and code sizing on demand
Ask for a deck beam, a joist span, or a footing size and SQM runs the real code math and cites the section. It gives you a number you can build to, or tells you honestly when it is time for an engineer.
- Real calculations, not a guess, sized to the IRC.
- Cites the exact code section, so you can verify it.
- Knows when a span is off the table and says to bring in an engineer.
- Built to factor in the code edition your city adopts.
