For lead installation plumbers
You run the crew. The phone runs your day.
Inspections, chases the supply house, and writes the daily report — Mission diagnoses the operating constraint before prescribing the build.
Your day
The craft is the job. The phone is the tax.
On a tract with lots in motion, the work only you can do — layout, the install, the inspection walk — keeps getting interrupted by the work anyone could do: booking inspections, chasing deliveries, and re-keying the same report twice.
- The craft and judgment
- Reading prints and submittals, laying out a code-compliant system, solving field conflicts with the electrician and HVAC sub, setting fixtures and water heaters, and walking the inspector to a first-time pass. This is the part only you can do.
- The admin off the truck
- Calling and re-calling the AHJ to book and rebook inspections, chasing the supply house on partial and back-ordered deliveries, re-typing the daily report and cost codes, and answering the GC’s “when are you clear?” — as much as 2–3 hours a day on a busy tract.
What it costs
Your time is the ceiling on how many lots you run.
Every hour on the phone or re-keying a report is an hour not laying out or setting fixtures. That tax caps how many lots one foreman can carry — and one missed inspection slips drywall, paint, and final across the whole tract.
The foreman gets buried in forms
Daily reports, cost-code entry, inspection booking, and supply-house chasing can eat 10–15 hours a week of your premium field time.
Inspection slots hold the whole build
Some cities book inspections next-day, others take a week. A fail or no-show forces a manual rebook and throws every downstream trade off.
A bad inspection gets expensive fast
Re-inspection fees run to the low-to-mid hundreds each, and a missed Stop Work Order can cost up to 2–3× the original permit fee.
Directional patterns from the trade and from operator interviews — not Mission results. Your numbers get established in the assessment.
Where the constraint often shows up
It works the phone and the paperwork the way you would.
You don’t need to know anything about AI. Mission’s agent works inside the tools you already use — phone and text, the AHJ portal, ServiceTitan or Procore or Contractor Foreman, the supply house — and hands every result back for your call.
- Books and tracks every inspection
Submits the rough, top-out, and final requests to the AHJ portal, watches for the assigned slot, alerts you, and re-books automatically after a fail or reschedule.
- Chases the supply house
Confirms orders, monitors delivery ETAs, flags a back-order before it idles your crew, and reconciles delivered against ordered so a missing fitting never stalls a fixture set.
- Writes the daily report
Turns your quick voice or text note into a finished report — crew, hours, cost codes, work completed, delays — pre-filled and posted to the office system. No re-keying.
- Keeps the look-ahead and the photos straight
Maintains the 2–3 week look-ahead, answers the GC’s “when are you clear?” from live job status, and files rough-in photos and punch items per lot so close-out is searchable.
The result
Keep your crew building instead of standing around.
When the calls and the reports run on their own, how many lots you can run stops depending on how much phone time you can absorb — and starts depending on the craft, which is what you’re good at.
The day gets eaten between the walls.
- You’re on the phone with the office instead of in the wall.
- A missed fitting or a no-show inspector blows up the week.
- The daily report gets done twice because the office re-types it.
The truck stays a truck, not a desk.
- Inspections are booked and re-booked before you ask.
- Back-orders surface before they idle the crew.
- The daily report writes itself from one quick note.
Safe by default
Every install decision and sign-off stays with you.
The agent moves the data, schedules, chases, and drafts. You keep every install decision, the inspection walk, crew direction, and the final sign-off. Anything uncertain is flagged, not guessed.
- 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.
