SALUS · For Trade Contractor Executives & Owners

SALUS protects your reputation — and your cash — at scale.

SALUS deploys your standards and controls at every site without growing the back office, watches every project for the one about to go sideways, and turns crew-level field facts into evidence that supports dispute resolution when growth gets contested.

LMS runs 170+ sites and 600 employees on one platform — and absorbed $180K a year of admin work without a single new hire.

The savings are substantial. For a company our size, we would've needed 3 personal assistants to do what we're doing now with the program digitally — that's a savings of $180K a year in salaries.

Growth is full of challenges. SALUS helps you meet 6 of them.

Challenge 01 · Risk at scaleExposure grows faster than controlthe standard reaches every crew

Scale the business. Not the risk.

Growth doesn't have to come with more risk. SALUS turns your best people's experience into controls that can be deployed to every crew - smartly. The right controls are pushed to the right crew on the right jobsite. Rosie adapts them for the new state or the new GC and grades every site against your standard, continuously.

  • The right controls, not every control: each crew receives the hazards, procedures, and requirements that match its work and jobsite.
  • Experience becomes infrastructure: your best people's judgment becomes a standard every site can use.
  • New state, new GC — same standard: Rosie adapts the approved program without weakening the company baseline.
  • Graded, not guessed: every site is assessed continuously, with underperformers flagged by reason.

Challenge 02 · The receipts$3M–$18M/yr at $100M revenueyour field data already contains this

It's not what you know. It's what you can prove.

Safety is a crew-level app, not a field-level of a project-level app. The data the crew captures is the ground-level truth, and it doesn't exist anywhere else in the company. SALUS syncs your project data and combines it with crew-level data to generate the best ground-level, contemporaneous evidence, so you can win more disputes faster.

Challenge 03 · Risk intelligenceFound out at month-endflagged while it's cheap

Know which project threatens the quarter — before it does.

Rosie reads every form, inspection, and field signal across the portfolio and ranks each project by combined safety, schedule, and margin risk — one all-encompassing assessment, aggregated from facts the crew collected in the flow of the work.

  • Every project ranked continuously — not by gut feel, but by the field data your crews already produce.
  • The 'why' attached: the open incident, the aging actions, the slipping milestones — evidence, not anecdote.
  • Fewer surprises means cheaper fixes: the conversation happens this week, not after the claim, the recordable, or the write-down.

Challenge 04 · Administrative leverageBack office grows with revenuesame team, more capacity

Add jobsites. Not layers of admin work.

Every new jobsite adds paperwork: site-specific programs, procedure updates, certificate checks, translations, reminders, reports, customer packets, and audit requests. Rosie handles that administrative workload inside SALUS — drafting, checking, routing, updating, and assembling each output for human review. Your existing team supports more crews and more projects without adding people just to keep the busy work moving.

  • Site-specific programs, procedures, toolbox talks, and translations drafted for review.
  • Certificate checks, reminders, corrective-action follow-up, and scheduled reporting run continuously.
  • Customer, insurer, audit, and board packages assembled from one live field record.

Challenge 05 · Prequalification, liveThe growth work goes elsewhereone live link, any verifier

Your future depends on a live record.

Data centers, hospitals, pharma, DoD: all require more than a EMR 1.0 or a safety program. You need to show the live operational records and show that you are in control. The Trust Portal answers with a live link — training records, form completion, corrective-action velocity, updated continuously — that any GC or owner can verify without a SALUS account..

Willmeng Construction started winning "a multitude of jobs" the moment they could prove safety performance instead of claiming it. On mission-critical prequalification, live verification is becoming the price of admission.

Challenge 06 · Retention is margin½–2× salary per departurethe loop closes, visibly

In a 349,000-worker shortage, being heard is a benefit.

Industry turnover runs ~68% overall. Workers leave companies where the field feels invisible. SALUS closes the loop structurally: the apprentice's hazard report becomes a tracked action with a name and a deadline, and he watches it close. Utilities Unlimited's crews went from "the office never listens" to calling in improvement ideas — because they see changes happen in real time. The company that listens is the company that keeps its people.

Utilities Unlimited: "They feel heard and they see it in real time." Their most resistant foreman became their first SALUS Award winner.

Growth challenges · 06/06 met

Six growth challenges, met
without more admin, disputes, or goodbyes.

Same crews. Same safety team. One capture layer underneath all of it — and Rosie turning the facts into whatever the business needs to prove next.

Why it holds up

Less software. More impact.

Less dashboard that noone has time for. Less apps that crews don't like. Less forms pencil-whipped. More disputes won. More production. Happier crews.

FAQ

Asked by owners, answered straight.

Where does the $3M–$18M challenge estimate come from?
It's an industry estimate for a $100M specialty contractor facing 35–125 commercially material dispute events per year — backcharges, unbilled extra work, delay claims, damage disputes. Your number is knowable: count last year's disputes and what you conceded because the proof was slow. That's the baseline a demo can be measured against.
What's the realistic ROI, and how fast?
We'd rather you count customer-reported figures than industry multipliers: $180K/yr of admin absorbed without a hire (LMS), $750/day in recovered foreman time (Brice), audit documentation reviews compressed from two full days to under two hours. The pattern is consistent — returns show up first as recovered time and avoided hires, then as premium and dispute outcomes as the record accumulates. And your baseline is countable before you buy: last year's disputes, admin hires, and renewal.
The field ignored the last platform we bought. Why would this be different?
Because adoption is the product. Crews interact through one QR scan — no logins, in their language, offline — and the JHA that took 30–40 minutes takes 5. LMS crews produce 250+ forms a day voluntarily. Every receipt, report, and grade on this page is downstream of that adoption, which is why we lead with it.
Does this replace our safety director or admin staff?
No. It absorbs the clerk-work — compiling, chasing, formatting, binder-building — so the people you have cover more sites without burning out. McBride didn't shrink the safety function; one professional now covers 100+ projects well. Growth without the next admin hire is the model, not cuts.
We're expanding into new states. Does the program keep up?
That's where Rosie earns her keep: describe the new job and she drafts the site-specific program from your master and the requirements that apply — new state, new GC, new scope. Standards deploy company-wide in minutes, and every site is graded against them continuously.
How does this fit with Procore and our existing stack?
SALUS owns crew-level capture and syncs upstream. Willmeng turned the Procore integration on in days and eliminated double-entry. Your project system stays the system of record — it just finally receives complete, timestamped field data.
