Decisions poured in concrete.
On a site, a decision becomes physical fast. Wavn makes sure it was argued while it was still liquid, and keeps the record that wins the argument afterward.
Construction decisions have a property most industries never face: they set. The subcontractor you commit to, the material you substitute, the sequence you bet the schedule on: within weeks these calls are load-bearing, literally. Reversing them costs money measured in demolition. Wavn is where the call gets its argument while changing your mind is still cheap, and where the reasoning lives when the dispute letter arrives a year later asking why.
Where the cost of getting it wrong is real.
Three bids, one winner, and a year of consequences. The comparison deserves to be honest and the reasoning deserves to be kept.
The spec says one thing, the supply chain says another. Whoever approves the swap owns it; the record should show what they knew.
Pulling one trade forward to save three weeks risks four. The argument belongs before the schedule commits.
Absorb it or dispute it: a call about money, relationship and precedent at once, usually made in an afternoon.
Your workflow, with the thinking kept.
Three quotes in, one comparison out
Attach the bids and get back a rebuilt comparison, line items aligned, gaps flagged as gaps.
The bet, argued before it sets
The Skeptic names the sequencing risk nobody on site wants to say out loud.
The call, next to the bids it came from
The subcontractor decision and its reasons, kept beside the numbers it was made on.
The dispute-day file
When the claim letter arrives, what was decided and known at the time is one search away.
Quote letters and site memos, finished
As typeset PDFs ready to send, not drafts to finish at midnight.
Said, argued, decided, built. Then it comes back.
No single voice is trusted alone.
In your field, confident and wrong is expensive. Wavn shows the case for, the case against, and what nobody raised. Then the call is yours, on the record.
A general contractor
Steel lead times slip and the GC must choose: hold the spec and eat six weeks, or approve a substitution the engineer accepts but the client has not seen.
- The substitution is argued: the Believer on schedule recovery, the Skeptic on approval risk and warranty, the Operator on what each path costs if it goes wrong.
- The call locks: substitute, with client sign-off made a condition, dissent kept.
- The client memo comes back finished: the change, the reasoning, the cost delta, the warranty position.
- A revisit is set at delivery, so the substitution is judged on what arrived, not on what was feared.
Wavn will not run your site or season your schedule. What it does is make sure the decisions that get poured in concrete were argued while they were still liquid.
