Building Envelope & Glazing /// Ontario, Canada
The field app your crews actually use.
Safety, scheduling, and time capture for building envelope crews — run from the jobsite, not the office.
Works offline. Built for gloves. Made from nearly 40 years of curtain wall and glazing experience.

The Problem
The jobsite runs on paper the office can't see.
Proving the crew worked safe, sorting who goes where, and turning paper timesheets into payroll — three things that quietly eat an envelope contractor's week. Field Cortex moves them off the truck dashboard and into one record everyone can see.
| On paper today | With Field Cortex |
|---|---|
| JHAs and toolbox talks stuffed in the truck | Searchable digital safety record, audit-ready |
| Schedule changes handled by phone and text | One shared live schedule, office and field |
| Handwritten timesheets, hours guessed by job | Job-coded time, clean payroll export |
| Progress photos buried in text threads | Photos attached to the job automatically |
| Monday-morning reconstruction of the week | Same-day field record, captured on site |
The Platform
Three things crews touch every day. Solved where the work happens.
COR-Ready Safety
JHAs, toolbox talks, incident reports, and equipment inspections captured in the field and organized for your auditor — complete on site, not rebuilt Monday morning.
Scheduling & Dispatch
Assign crews and see the whole week on one board — office and field looking at the same schedule. No morning phone tree.
Time Capture → Payroll
Hours logged against the right job from the field, then a clean export your bookkeeper just runs. No chasing paper timesheets.
Field-First Reporting
Photos, timestamps, and daily notes attached to the job the moment they're taken — and it all works offline on site.
Tracked by Elevation
Curtain wall, storefront, and cladding progress tracked by elevation and level — the way an envelope job actually runs, not a generic "job number."
A Foreman Runs It Day One
Big touch targets, plain language, forms that make sense the first time — designed by someone who's stood on the swing stage.
Field Cortex provides digital safety workflows designed to support COR documentation and contractor audit readiness. It manages documentation and workflow — it does not itself certify a contractor or guarantee COR compliance. Your own JHA and inspection forms can be matched to your safety program.
One missing toolbox talk can cost the bid.
On commercial envelope work, safety documentation isn't paperwork — it's what keeps you on the site. Field Cortex captures the sign-offs, hazard checks, and inspections your GC and auditor expect, timestamped and attributed as they happen.
No US-built platform does Canadian COR documentation the way an Ontario envelope contractor needs it. This one was built around exactly that.
Request Early AccessBuilt First For Building Envelope
It speaks curtain wall, not "job #4471."
Field Cortex launches focused on the trade its founder knows in his bones — building envelope and glazing — instead of pretending to understand five trades at once.
Curtain Wall & Cladding
Track install progress by elevation and floor, not a single line item — so you always know what's glazed, sealed, and signed off.
Storefront & Glazing
Glass handling checks, deficiency lists, and unit sign-offs kept against the opening, with photos attached where they belong.
Sealants & Weatherproofing
Wet-seal logs, cure checks, and warranty documentation timestamped in the field — the paper trail that protects the envelope warranty.
Focused on building envelope at launch. As the platform grows, adjacent specialty trades will get the same depth — one trade done right first.

Why I Built This
"I spent nearly forty years on commercial envelope and glazing work, watching good crews fight software written by people who've never stood on a swing stage."
The safety binder in the truck, the schedule sorted out by phone every morning, the timesheets reconstructed on Monday — I lived all of it on curtain wall towers, hospitals, and institutional builds across Canada and the US. Field Cortex is the app I always wished the crew had: built around the foreman's day, not the boardroom's.
It launches focused on building envelope because that's the trade I can build for honestly. Get it right here first, then earn the right to grow.

Request Early AccessA seat is one active login — field or office. A foreman can submit records for a whole crew, so labourers who don't log in themselves don't each need a seat, and you can deactivate seasonal seats when crews are off. All prices CAD, billed monthly. Virtual onboarding is included on every plan; on-site onboarding is available by request.

FAQ
Straight answers before you commit.
A seat is one active login — field or office. A foreman can submit records for a whole crew, so labourers who don't log in themselves don't each need a seat. Deactivate seasonal seats when crews are off and turn them back on in season.
Yes. Crews complete JHAs, log time, and attach photos offline. Everything syncs automatically the moment signal returns — which matters on towers and below-grade work.
No. Field Cortex provides digital safety workflows designed to support COR documentation and audit readiness. It manages the documentation and workflow — it does not itself certify a contractor or guarantee COR compliance.
Yes. Your safety program's forms can be matched so crews fill out the documents your auditor already expects, rather than forcing you onto generic templates.
No — and it's not trying to. Keep the estimating and accounting tools you already trust. Field Cortex runs the job from schedule to field record to a clean payroll export, and hands off from there.
Time is job-coded and exported in a clean format your bookkeeper or payroll provider can run. Tell us what you use during onboarding and we'll make sure the export lines up.
Yes. Field Cortex runs on the phones your crews already carry — no dedicated hardware to buy or manage.
Data is hosted in Canada, and your records are yours. If you ever decide to leave, you can export your data — no hostage situation.
Virtual onboarding is included and typically takes a session or two to get your crews and forms set up. During early access there's no annual commitment — you're a founding contractor, not a locked-in customer.
Field Cortex is launching focused on building envelope and glazing, where its depth is real. Adjacent specialty trades are on the roadmap once the platform has proven itself here — one trade done right first.
