Construction estimating, project management and accounting: your questions answered

Straight answers about how Stratacore works with contractors.

Common questions

What does Stratacore do?

Stratacore LLC provides cost estimation, project management, construction accounting and custom software for US contractors. We are led from San Mateo, California, with a delivery team in Pune, India that works overnight.

Who is Stratacore for?

General contractors, construction managers, specialty contractors and developers, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area, who want the estimating, project controls and construction accounting of a large firm without building that team in-house.

How fast can you turn around a construction estimate?

Our typical estimate turnaround is under 24 hours. Because our estimating team works from Pune, India, a package sent at 5:00 pm Pacific is worked overnight and delivered by 8:00 am Pacific.

Do you do bid leveling and subcontractor quote comparison?

Yes. We compare subcontractor quotes line by line, flag scope gaps, and make post-bid adjustments. For example, if the low bidder left out firestopping, we carry the missing cost so you compare like with like.

What does outsourced construction project management include?

A dedicated project team handles the schedule, the paperwork and the follow-ups: schedules and look-aheads, RFIs and submittals, change management, productivity tracking, daily and weekly reports, and document control. Your superintendents and project managers can focus on running the site.

What is construction accounting, and how is it different from regular accounting?

General accounting tracks accounts. Construction accounting tracks jobs: costs are coded to a project and cost code, and the books handle change orders, retainage, progress billing, work in progress (WIP) and subcontractor compliance. That is where contractors’ margin is won or lost.

How does your dashboard help me avoid overpaying subcontractors?

Subcontracts, change orders and purchase orders live in one place. Sub and vendor invoices are checked against contracts and POs before they are approved for payment, so you do not pay beyond the contract value plus approved changes.

Do you prepare AIA pay applications (G702/G703)?

Yes. We generate pay applications with change orders and retainage, and track lien waivers and certificates of insurance (COIs) so compliance does not hold up payment.

Can you introduce AI into our construction workflows?

Yes, carefully. We start with a process review to find the work AI can realistically take off your team’s plate, then build intelligent agents and automated workflows that handle routine coordination and data tasks, with a low-disruption rollout.

How long does onboarding take?

About two weeks from kickoff to a live dashboard and a team that knows your jobs. The steps are discovery, planning, execution, delivery and continuous support.

Are there seat or project fees?

No. Stratacore does not charge seat or project fees. Contact us for a quote tailored to your scope.
