RedTag helps construction managers document jobsite delays in seconds, notify trades instantly, and calculate backcharges based on real completion dates
RedTag helps construction managers document jobsite delays in seconds, notify trades instantly, and calculate backcharges based on real completion dates. Built for field speed: log a delay in 5–10 seconds and move on with your day. What you can do with RedTag • Create Red Tags fast: Address → Trade → Delay Type → Root Cause → (optional 120-char note + photo) • Send notices instantly: Use your phone’s native Text (SMS) and Email share sheet to send: • Backcharge Warning • Backcharge Notice • Non-billable Delay Notice (city/utility/permit/weather) • Track completion dates: Close items with an actual completion date so the timeline is documented. • Auto-calculate backcharge amounts: Set fee-per-day rates by delay type and RedTag calculates: • Days charged • Rate per day • Total amount due • Handle billable and non-billable delays: Track everything, but only bill what’s truly trade-caused. • Examples: city inspection delays, utility impact, permit/plan issues, weather, miscellaneous schedule blockers • Dashboard & reporting: View totals by day/week/month/quarter/year: • Number of delays • Average delays per timeframe • Total delay impact (time) • Backcharge due (money) • Open exposure vs completed/backcharged • Export for management: Export CSV and PDF reports for meetings and documentation. • Offline-first: Your data stays on your device. No server required. Common root causes included No show • Not ready / prior trade incomplete • Failed inspection • Rework required • Missing/wrong/damaged material • Plan/option conflict • Access blocked • Safety noncompliance (sent trade home) • City/utility/permit/weather • Other Designed for the field • Big buttons, fast defaults, minimal typing • Favorites + recents for addresses and contacts • Daily reminders to review open Red Tags and close what’s resolved RedTag doesn’t replace your schedule tool. It creates a fast, consistent record of what happened, who was notified, and what it cost—so delays don’t disappear into texts and memory.
