Software that knows what a holdback is
JobSite is construction-management software for Canadian builders, and the Canadian part is structural rather than a locale setting.
Ontario's construction rules run on clocks. A proper invoice starts a 28-day obligation on the owner and a 7-day one on the contractor. Ten percent of the value of work certified is held back on every payment and does not come free until a certificate of substantial performance is published and the lien period expires behind it. Permit review has legislated maximum windows that only start once an application is complete. None of that is a preference; all of it decides whether a profitable project runs out of cash in month four.
So those rules are the shape of the product. The holdback is a modelled obligation with a release trigger and a dated clock, not a note in a memo field. HST at 13% and the contingency and margin around it are computed in code rather than by a language model. The statutory deadline kinds are things the schema knows the names of. Ottawa's zoning by-law is cited by section in seeded rules.
The AI does the paperwork-shaped work — first-draft estimates, proposed permit and compliance items — and it does it as governed jobs that land in an approval queue, where a person approves before anything is acted on. The model owns scope and descriptions. Code owns every number. Your team does the building.
JobSite is built by BaldwIndustries Inc. It is pre-release, and it is being built with its first customer.
What this page deliberately does not say
There is no headcount, no founding date, no “independent Canadian software company”, no customer count and no claim about what other products fail to do. The registry names the contracting entity and nothing further was verified, and one customer is recorded — so a plural would be an invention. When there is more to say, it will be said with a source.
