Founding rate. First month $495.

For custom GCs and high-value trades. Pay $495 to start on one live job, plus one revision of that same set. If that job is not useful by the end of week 2, we refund the $495. Then $995/mo for 90 days if you continue.

First month

$495

Pay to start on one live job, plus one revision of that same set.

  • You forward the files to a private inbox we stand up after kickoff
  • If that first job is not useful by the end of week 2, we refund the $495
  • If it is useful, continuing at the founding retainer is a separate yes. It is not automatic

Then founding retainer

$995/mo for 90 days

About 8 completed jobs per month. Extra jobs are quoted. Not unlimited.

  • Quote coverage, change briefs, cited answers, and unsent RFI drafts
  • We run the helper. You do not operate a dashboard
  • Still your review before a client or vendor is emailed

Turnaround

Cited reply with PDF/XLSX in 2 business days after a complete file set. If files are missing, the clock pauses.

Quantities

Counts stay PRELIMINARY until your estimator confirms them.

Sending mail

VGML does not send mail to your clients or vendors. Drafts stay in the thread.

Custom shop workflows

A later scoped build. Not inside the $495 first month.

What you are buying

Hybrid on purpose.

Agency care. Software underneath. The customer product is the reply.

  • Not seats. A helper we run.

    You are not buying logins. We stand up the inbox, do the desk work, and keep it working.

  • Software underneath. White-glove on top.

    The machinery is ours. The product you see is the cited reply in email.

  • Week-2 refund. Then a separate yes.

    Week 2 is when you can get the $495 back if the first job is not useful. You still bought a month. $995/mo for 90 days only if you continue.

In the work

Four packets. That is the core job.

Quote coverage

RTU-2 is on M-201. The quote has no matching line.

Change briefs

Controls moved to the GC. No cost figure is stated.

Cited answers

Yes. Addendum 02 §3.4 assigns controls to the GC.

RFI drafts

Confirm RTU-2 with the vendor. The draft stays unsent.

After the core job works

A workflow for your shop.

If a recurring desk job is not coverage, briefs, answers, or drafts, we can stand up a bounded workflow. Priced as a scoped build. Not inside $495.

  • You own the result. We own the process.

    You name the repeating job. We stand up how it runs in email. Your files and findings stay yours.

  • If we later ship it more widely

    The shop that commissioned it keeps it in their retainer while they stay. No extra fee if it is cheap to run. A reduced rate if it is not.

  • Not a custom AI shop

    We take recurring construction desk work. We do not build chatbots, websites, or one-off research.

First 6 shops

Bring us one project.

Short kickoff around one project. We stand up a private inbox. Then you forward the live job there. If that job is not useful by the end of week 2, we refund the $495.
