What comes after the shell stage?
work after shell stage should be treated as a control point in the build, not as a one-off decision. BuildIQ turns it into clear tasks, dates, documents and costs.
Owner builder guide
In practice, work after shell stage should be handled this way: starts after the building is secured and service decisions are confirmed. Without a plan, it is easy to bring a contractor in too early, too late or without the decisions they need.
After shell stage, decisions multiply quickly. BuildIQ helps control services, invoices, hidden work photos and contractor dates.
BuildIQ in practice
The strongest setup is to save the topic as a separate stage in the app, with a deadline, contractor, budget, photos and documents. Then decisions do not live only in messages or memory.
For each stage, add planned cost, real invoices and acceptance status. This creates a build history that helps with changes, warranties and settlements.
The common owner mistake
The issue is often not technical knowledge, but the lack of one place for control. When schedule, photos, invoices and notes are scattered, decisions start to slip.
BuildIQ is built for this: the owner sees the build stage by stage and can react before a delay or extra cost becomes a fact.
