For construction and trades

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.

The decisions you live with

Where the cost of getting it wrong is real.

The subcontractor call

Three bids, one winner, and a year of consequences. The comparison deserves to be honest and the reasoning deserves to be kept.

The material substitution

The spec says one thing, the supply chain says another. Whoever approves the swap owns it; the record should show what they knew.

The sequencing bet

Pulling one trade forward to save three weeks risks four. The argument belongs before the schedule commits.

The change order you fight

Absorb it or dispute it: a call about money, relationship and precedent at once, usually made in an afternoon.

How Wavn fits the work

Your workflow, with the thinking kept.

Built

Three quotes in, one comparison out

Attach the bids and get back a rebuilt comparison, line items aligned, gaps flagged as gaps.

The voices

The bet, argued before it sets

The Skeptic names the sequencing risk nobody on site wants to say out loud.

Lock

The call, next to the bids it came from

The subcontractor decision and its reasons, kept beside the numbers it was made on.

The record

The dispute-day file

When the claim letter arrives, what was decided and known at the time is one search away.

Built

Quote letters and site memos, finished

As typeset PDFs ready to send, not drafts to finish at midnight.

One call, walked

Said, argued, decided, built. Then it comes back.

The difference

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.

Illustrative scenario

A general contractor

A general contractor · Mixed-use build · Steel decision

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.

  1. 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.
  2. The call locks: substitute, with client sign-off made a condition, dissent kept.
  3. The client memo comes back finished: the change, the reasoning, the cost delta, the warranty position.
  4. A revisit is set at delivery, so the substitution is judged on what arrived, not on what was feared.
The outcome: A year later, when the facade question resurfaces in a claim, the record shows the decision, the sign-off, and what everyone knew. The argument is over before it starts.
This scenario is illustrative, a composite of how teams in this field work, not a named client.

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.
