Four desks.
One shop.

Bid, buy, submit, install — on one board. CAD and CNC stay yours.

Prepared by TurnKey for Marty Hammond and Grant Hicks. Revised 15 September 2026.

You already divided the work.
Nothing joins it.

Copied from your own contact page. We did not invent these desks.

Marty

Owner — President. Estimating & pre-construction since 1999.

New projects. Payment applications. VE & cost analysis. Planning & budgets.

Grant

Owner — VP. Operations & purchasing. Ericsson, then ACS 2004.

Purchasing. Facility. Human resources.

Preston

Project manager. Architectural submittals since 2007.

First-delivery ETA. Scope & material questions. Stored materials / COI. Phasing.

Brad

Installation manager. Crew leads since 2005. Resident MacGyver.

Deliveries. Materials stored on site. Personnel on site. Punch lists.

Four people. Nearly ninety years of answers. The job still lives in inboxes.

Casework runs on a thin margin.
These are the leaks — not paper.

8–12% of change-order work is never billed approvals live in texts and never reach the payment app
1 estimator, no backup, since 1999 the week Marty is on a jobsite, bids wait
5% of every project is rework Construction Industry Institute, 359 projects

You already estimate digitally. You already template in the field. The leak is the job that exists only in one head.

The shop still moves
when Marty is out.

Bids go out. Actuals come back.

Every awarded job carries the estimate it was sold on. VE is a comparison, not a memory. Similar jobs surface before you price the next fire station.

Payment apps stop waiting on one inbox.

Stored materials, COI, percent-complete — already how you talk to GCs. They sit on the job, not in Marty’s drafts.

Punch becomes an invoice, not a photo thread.

Brad’s list, Preston’s sequence, Grant’s PO, Marty’s bill. One record. Nothing keyed in twice.

Nobody on the floor changes how they build. They stop hunting for the job.

What we will not sell you.

Not a CAD replacement.

Cabinet Vision, Microvellum, Mozaik, HOMAG — whichever is on your floor stays on your floor. We wrap around it. We do not rip it out.

Not handwriting OCR.

You do not estimate on paper. We will not pretend to digitize a yellow pad you do not use. Architect PDFs are a later chapter. Your takeoff tool is not the problem.

Not another login you have to feed.

If the board is empty unless Marty types, we failed. We run it. You keep building casework.

Not a fourteen-month ERP.

One live job in the first month. The rest of the shop comes after you can see the number move.

The offer is named BlueLine.

One job record. Four views. Hosted by us, owned by you, exportable the day you ask.

Marty’s desk

Bid pipeline. Estimate vs actual. VE history. Payment applications. Planning & budgets.

Grant’s desk

Purchase orders tied to the job. Vendors. What’s on order vs what’s on the floor.

Preston’s desk

Submittal packages. First-delivery week. Stored materials and COI. Phasing against the GC.

Brad’s desk

Delivery windows. Crew on site. Materials stored on site. Punch that posts to the job.

Open source underneath. We host it, back it up, and keep it current. Your files never live in a vendor’s lock.

Start with the board.
Earn the right to the rest.

  1. 1

    Now — BlueLine

    The four views on live jobs. Payment apps. Punch to invoice. We run it.

  2. 2

    Next — bid intelligence

    Closed-job costs next to the estimate. Similar-job lookup before you price the next school.

  3. 3

    Then — drawing assist

    Architect PDFs in; a room-by-room casework schedule out, for your detailer to load. Not a CAD takeover.

  4. 4

    Later — the assistant

    Only after the desks have data. Then it can answer “what did Bacon County actually cost?”

We do not sell step four on day one. That is how shops buy software they never open.

Three ways to start

Pilot

$7,500 once

Three to four weeks

  • Walk all four desks
  • One live job on the board
  • One leak closed — usually cash or punch
  • Fee credits fully toward the build

BlueLine

Where shops that already estimate digitally start

$25,000 build

then $3,500 a month

  • All four desks, hosted and run by us
  • Payment apps, POs, submittals, punch
  • Bid vs actual on closed jobs
  • Backups, sign-on, monthly numbers

BlueLine + copilot

$40,000 build

then $6,000 a month

  • Everything in BlueLine
  • Similar-job lookup for estimating
  • Architect-PDF room schedules for the detailer
  • Quarterly on-site tuning

For scale: one estimator costs about $110,000 a year, loaded. One unbilled change order erases a good week.

It pays for itself,
or you don't pay.

Pilot
Miss the agreed outcome on that live job and you get a full refund.
BlueLine
Miss the agreed targets at ninety days and we work free until they’re met.
With the copilot
Miss the agreed metrics in any month and that month’s fee is paused.

Targets are written down in week one, on your jobs, in your numbers. Not ours.

Bring one bid
and the job that followed it.

Thirty minutes. We map estimate vs actual and show where the four desks dropped the ball — on your numbers, not a demo file.

TurnKey builds and runs operations software for shops that would rather build casework than manage IT. We take one millwork shop in Georgia.
