Step 01
Keeps the change-order log
When an RFI answer or field change lands, the agent drafts the entry and propagates it across the change log, the cost letter, and the pay-app draft — then flags it for you to price and approve.
For electrical project managers
Run the job. Not the paperwork.
Mission keeps the change log, chases the RFIs, and drafts the pay app so you can price, sequence, and negotiate.
Your day
You manage the job one email at a time.
Across five to ten active jobs, the management you’re good at gets squeezed between logs, pay apps, and chasing ship dates.
40%Logging, reconciling, chasing, compiling
Re-keying the same change into the log, the drawings, and the pay app; reconciling field hours; building AIA billing; chasing vendors and the engineer.
60%Pricing, sequencing, negotiating
Negotiating change orders, calling next week’s manpower, reading whether a job is bleeding or just billing behind, and the engineering judgment behind every RFI.
What it costs
The paperwork sets the ceiling on how many jobs you can carry.
Project teams lose about 35% of the week to non-productive admin. For a PM, that 35% lands squarely on the logs and the billing.
~14 hrs
Lost per week
PlanGrid/FMI puts non-productive admin at 35% of the work week — about 14 hours hunting documents, fixing version control, and re-keying.
4–6 hrs
On RFI follow-up
Chasing the engineer for overdue answers and mirroring the GC’s log into your own Excel runs 4–6 hours a week — submittals add another 3–5.
30+ days
Cash at risk
A late or under-billed AIA pay app pushes the contractor’s payment out a full billing cycle, straining the line of credit.
RFI & submittal chasingLogs, reconciling & billingWith Mission
With Mission: The agent keeps the logs, chases the follow-ups, and drafts the billing — you review and approve.
What Mission does
It runs the logging, chasing, and compiling. You keep every call.
The agent drafts and propagates; nothing is priced, answered, or sent without you. You stay the single throat to choke — with the busywork gone.
The result
The change order gets billed. The pay app goes out on time.
The agent keeps the books current so you catch the productivity slide early — instead of finding the money already gone.
Running eight jobs out of one spreadsheet
- Changes re-keyed by hand into four places — and some never get billed.
- Labor numbers land days stale, after the money’s already gone.
- AIA billing is a monthly all-nighter against the deadline.
The log is current and the billing drafts itself
- Every field change is logged, propagated, and queued to bill.
- A weekly productivity read flags the job that’s starting to slide.
- The pay app is drafted and waiting for your sign-off.
Every change
Logged and billed
Leaked change orders are pure margin loss on thin commercial work — the agent makes sure none slip through unbilled.
Days earlier
You see the slide
Weekly labor-vs-budget reconciliation is your earliest warning a job is losing money — now it arrives current, not stale.
More jobs
Per PM
With ~14 hours of admin off the desk, the ceiling on how many jobs one PM can carry moves up.
Safe by default
Nothing is priced, answered, or sent without you.
The agent drafts, reconciles, and chases — every change order, RFI answer, and pay app waits for your approval before it leaves.
Connected
Works inside the tools you already run on — email, calendars, sheets, your CRM, your portals.
Approved
Anything risky or off-mission is held for your sign-off before it touches data or goes out the door.
On mission
You set the assignment once. The work stays on it for days and weeks without drifting.
Observable
You always have a clear view of what ran, what changed, and what needs a call — no transcript spelunking.
Manage the job, not the log.
Let Mission carry the logging, chasing, and billing so you can do the part only you can do.
