FORGE · Field Operations, Reconstruction & General Execution

Thirty years of skill.
Zero years of paperwork protecting it.

You can look at a wall and know what's behind it. But when the payment gets argued, the change order gets "forgotten," or the lawyer asks for records — skill doesn't testify. Documentation does. FORGE was built for the people who built everything.

The job site keeps two ledgers: money and safety.

Both leak the same way — nothing written down, nothing proven, nobody warned. These are the published numbers.

Worker deaths in the U.S. happen in construction — year after year, one industry carries a fifth of the toll.

Falls remain the leading cause of construction deaths — the top of OSHA's "Fatal Four." Most are preventable with known protocols.
OSHA
§ 1926
The OSHA construction standard already documents how to prevent most of it. The knowledge exists — it just doesn't reach the field at the moment it's needed.

Dollars is what a verbal change order is worth in a payment dispute. If the extra work isn't documented, you donated it.

Bids, scopes, hazards, progress photos, materials and checkpoints in one place — nothing lost, nothing left for a lawyer to argue about later.

Your year

What an hour of your skilled work actually bills for — not your wage, your value.
Your estimate. The "small favors," the verbal extras, the scope creep you ate to keep the client happy.

Work you performed with your hands, at your skill level — undocumented, so unpaid.
And the ledger money can't fix
Hazards flagged before the job — so you go home. Every night. In one piece.
FORGE walks the safety protocol for the scope before work starts: confined space, fall height, lead, asbestos, structural risk.
Your skill was never the problem.
The system around it was.

FORGE is in development — built for tradespeople and contractors, tested by them. Early-access members get first pilots and a real voice in what gets built.

How this is calculated — formulas & sources

Formulas

Undocumented hours value = hours/week × weeks × hourly value

Unpapered change-order value = count × average value

All inputs are your own estimates — the calculator shows you your assumption, not an industry claim.
