For contractors

Get paid on the record.

On public work, what gets paid is what the owner’s inspector recorded. HeadLight lets your team see that record as it’s made (the quantities, the photos, the approvals) and settle questions before they become disputes.

Start here

Start with what the state asks for.

Run your own plant or lab? A submittal starter covers one plant, its materials and the state’s forms, priced per plant.

Starters move up to the full solution with credit: Sampling & Testing, Materials Lab and Acceptance & Pay. See Materials

The work between you and everyone else

The pay estimate starts in the field. Now you can see it there.

Your quantities, the inspector’s quantities and the owner’s approvals used to live in three places. With HeadLight they are the same record, visible to everyone who needs it.
