Mortise.
Private beta — spring 2026

The operating system for design-build firms.

Mortise connects schedules, selections, budgets, and clients in one place — so your projects ship on time, on margin, and on-brand.

No card. Invites go out weekly.
Early-access firms — remodels, whole-house, ground-up.

One system.
Every phase.

Stop stitching Buildertrend, spreadsheets, and a group chat. Mortise is purpose-built for the way design-build firms actually work — from the sketch to the punch list.

Scheduling

Schedules that respect reality

Drag a lead-time on the tile and the framing dates move with it. Critical path, float, and crew load — always live.

The workflow

From first conversation to final punch — one thread.

Step 1
Lead
Intake, qualification, handoff to your estimator.
Step 2
Design
Scope, drawings, design fees, revisions — tracked.
Step 3
Proposal
Unit-cost estimate becomes a signed contract.
Step 4
Build
Schedule, budget, selections, subs, field — all one project.
Step 5
Close
Punch, warranty, final draw, retrospective.
Nothing is re-entered — every stage writes forward to the next.

“We used to run six projects on spreadsheets and hope. With Mortise, our PMs spend mornings on the job, not in Excel — and our gross margin is up four points.”
