For the drainage contractor
Drainage & Foundation work, quoted and signed and paid for.
Water moved away from a house that is currently taking it on.
Relayhand takes the job from the first call to the final payment — the quote, the contract, the signature, the deposit and the follow-up — with a price list that already knows what a drainage contractor sells.
What actually goes wrong on a drainage & foundation job
Not the work. The paperwork around it, which is where the money is won and lost.
The scope changes the moment you open the ground, and the change order is a text message nobody can find in March.
One measurement, three prices. Your linear foot count is typed once and priced across good, better and best — the customer picks a column and signs that column, so the number on the contract is the number they chose.
Quotes are three options at three prices off one footage measurement, and rebuilding that arithmetic by hand for every house is how the wrong number gets sent.
The scope travels with the job. Catch basin, set and tied in is on the signed document, in the crew's app on the way to the house, and on the invoice at the end — written once, never retyped into the next thing.
Half the job is invisible once it is backfilled, so the photographs are the only evidence the work was done as specified.
A change is a document, not a text message. Anything agreed after signature is its own amendment naming the contract it changes, signed the same way, so "we said that in March" has a date and a signature attached to it.
What the address already knows
The moment a customer has an address on file, their record already carries the owner name, year built, square footage, lot size, the last sale price and date, and the current tax assessment — pulled once and kept, not re-fetched every time somebody opens the file.
It sits on the customer record itself, before a drainage contractor is ever on-site — useful for sizing a job or pricing a lot most people cannot picture from an address alone. It is a proxied, rate-limited lookup rather than something built into every screen, and it only runs where an address is already there to look up.
What a drainage contractor typically prices
Your price list starts blank and stays yours — nothing is pre-filled, because a guessed price is worse than an empty one. Here's what a drainage contractor usually needs to quote, in the units a drainage contractor quotes in, so you're not typing from nothing.
One measurement can drive several of them at once, which is what makes three priced options off a single number take about as long as one.

Already paying for something else?
Most of the category charges per user and sells the pipeline, the proposal tool and the answering service as monthly add-ons. Each comparison below shows what you would pay at your crew size, cites the vendor’s own published price with the date it was checked, and says where they are the better choice.
