Your process
These are starting points. Your next workflow can be different.
Tell Brody what starts the work, who to contact, what to collect and when someone should approve it. Adapt a standard workflow or create one for your company on the Platform plan.
Follow up on missing documents, confirm a delivery or chase a submittal. Your team reviews the steps before they run. Calls, messages and AI work share company usage. Supported workflow configuration is included. New connectors or capabilities are quoted separately.
Explore custom workflowsWhat can Brody do for a construction company?
GCs can explore bid solicitation, COI collection, daily reports and start readiness. Subcontractors can explore crew coordination, daily reports and job photos, supplier follow-up and scoped extra-work, quote and payment workflows. Each workflow follows your configured approval rules.
Do we have to use every workflow?
No. Most companies start with one or two workflows on a real project and add more over time. Each workflow runs on the same company number and the same shared record.
Can Brody run a workflow that is not on this page?
Yes. These are starting points. On the Platform plan, describe your process, the systems it uses and when a person should approve the work. Your team reviews the steps before the workflow runs. The workflow builder is included. Configuration with supported actions is included. New connectors or capabilities require an approved quote.
Who in the company uses Brody?
Superintendents, foremen, project managers, estimators, safety and compliance staff, office managers and owners. Field workers, subcontractors and suppliers need no paid seats. Their calls and texts use company allowances.
How is it priced?
One full Platform plan at $99 per operating user per month, or $89 per user per month billed annually. Start with one paid user. Standard setup is free. Each paid user adds 50 AI calling minutes, 250 messaging units, 250 human US calling minutes and 500 standard AI work items each month. These separate pools are shared across the company, not reserved for individual users.
Does Brody replace our existing software?
No. Brody works inside the systems you already run, such as Procore, Vista, SharePoint and OneDrive, and writes completed work back so nobody enters anything twice.
