Customer case study

How Firm Foundations runs on FirmBase.

A Florida asphalt and concrete contractor runs its whole operation on a single platform its owner built for himself, and now offers to other contractors.

Estimating to proposal

Plan and aerial takeoff, the rate sheet, sub bids leveled line by line, and proposals signed online.

Subs and the field

Work orders, sub insurance and W-9 tracking, crew scheduling, jobsite photos and daily reports.

Billing and collections

Change orders, progress billing, retainage, exact final invoices and collections reminders.

The problem

Firm Foundations was running a growing construction business on a stack of disconnected tools. Proposals lived in spreadsheets. Photos lived in a separate app. Subs got emailed PDFs. Follow-ups happened when someone remembered. Every missed follow-up was a lost bid.

The fix

Arthur Wilmoth — owner and project manager — built FirmBase to replace every one of those tools with a single platform. Proposals, CRM, sub portal, field reports, invoicing, and AI automation all run in one place, on one login, with one source of truth.

“I built FirmBase because I needed it. Now every proposal goes out the same day, every follow-up fires automatically, and I can actually see my pipeline. It's the operating system I wish I'd had five years ago.”

Why it works

  • Built by an actual contractor.Every feature was designed in response to a real problem Firm Foundations hit. No "nice to have" bloat.
  • Mobile-first for the field. Crews upload photos, log hours, and complete safety checks from a phone. The office sees it live.
  • AI where it saves time, not as a gimmick. Proposal drafts, photo review, COI reading and bid analysis, each one a suggestion a person approves.
