Hey everyone launching ScopeLedger on Product Hunt this Tuesday, Aug 4, and wanted to open this up before then rather than just drop a link on launch day.
Quick context: ScopeLedger is a private workspace for specialty contractors (electrical, mechanical, HVAC, fire protection, and similar trades) to catch changed work before the contractual notice deadline expires, keep evidence organized against each change instead of scattered across email and photos, and see open exposure across projects in one place.
I built the whole thing myself product, security architecture, and the go-to-market stack after digging into how much money contractors lose not because they lack a legal claim, but because nobody captured the fact pattern in time.
Genuinely curious from this community: if you've ever worked in or adjacent to construction/contracting how does your team currently track change orders and notice deadlines? Spreadsheet? Email folder? Nothing formal at all? I'd love to hear what's actually breaking down in practice before launch day.
Hi Product Hunt,
I’m Shahbaz, founder of ScopeLedger.
I built ScopeLedger after studying a problem that costs specialty contractors real money: changed work happens in the field, but the commercial record often catches up too late.
The instruction may be sitting in a text thread. The photos may be on someone’s phone. The notice deadline may be tracked in a spreadsheet, or not tracked at all. By the time the record is assembled, leverage has already weakened.
ScopeLedger gives electrical, mechanical, HVAC, fire-protection and other specialty contractors one private workspace to:
• capture changed work while the facts are fresh
• track contractual notice deadlines
• keep evidence attached to the relevant event
• see open and weighted dollar exposure across projects
• prepare a reviewed notice draft from the captured record
I built the product, its security controls, lead system and launch stack myself. My background is in sales, operations, CRM and business systems, so I approached this as an ownership and workflow problem rather than another generic project-management tool.
For the launch, I’m offering a free Change Exposure Review for one active project. I’ll map the available change records, identify documentation gaps and estimate how much value may be exposed.
Teams with a strong use case can then apply for a 90-day founding pilot at $7,500.
I would value direct feedback, particularly from anyone who has worked around construction, commercial controls or specialty contracting:
Where does your changed-work record usually break down—field capture, notice tracking, evidence, or ownership?
Would love to see integration with Procore or Autodesk since most of our field data already lives there, and honestly retyping everything is kind of a dealbreaker for adoption. Even a basic export to those formats would basically solve it.
@digital_craftsman Thank you for taking interest in Scopeledger. Yes, I knew the integrations were an important part of the scaling process.
1. I have already setup my partner program with Procore and it takes time from their end. Once they approve of it, which I am sure they will because I have provided them with everything they asked for. Procore integration is already in the works, waiting for their approval.
2. Its highly scalable, I designed it to scale it gradually to the enterprise level but of course , all of that depends upon if I can have some initial pilots and real data from real projects.
So, currently outreach going on. as solo SaaS founder, its slow and painful but it solves a money problem from an industry that has billions of dollars in yearly transactions. I am hopeful.
