What we do

Multiple lanes. Singular mission.
One standard.

Each product is a block of the same practice: take an unstructured process or space and turn it into something organized, efficient and well put together.

Document intelligence

DeltaProof

Know what changed before you rebid.

Compare an original construction drawing set with its revision. Review findings anchored to the sheets, with quantity deltas and references you can check. Add an itemized bid to identify the lines that may need attention.

AI services · in development

FieldQuoteAI

From “here’s what I need” to a reviewed estimate.

Being built to turn walkthrough videos, voicemail audio, plans, checklists, vision boards, photos, emails, texts or a mix into a clearly scoped, detailed, itemized estimate, including materials, using the operator’s own pricing methodology. The goal: a reviewed, priced estimate within hours of the ask, not days.

The full workflow includes automatic scoping and product-selection questions, live-camera clarification, estimate approval, scheduling, approval of estimate updates and final invoicing.

Designed for uSurge’s own service request intake.

Sign placement · in development

Put the sign where it has a reason to be.

AI using real historical traffic data to optimize the placement of real-estate open house signs. Intended for property listings and neighborhood campaigns, with attention to maximizing visibility and guiding approach routes.

The deal, in writing

The bid is the price.
Doing it right is the job.

You should know what will be done, what it will cost and who will stand behind it. That belongs in writing before the work starts.

A price for the result, not the clock
My bid is what it takes to complete the agreed work properly. If it takes me longer, that is on me. A change in scope is discussed and agreed in writing before any extra work.
A free written estimate
The work is broken into clear items, with the approach and specified materials spelled out. You can see what you are agreeing to, rather than trying to decode a lump sum.
Materials without the markup
Hardware and materials are itemized at actual cost, with receipts attached to the final invoice. Buy the specified items yourself, or have me purchase them before work begins.
Workmanship guaranteed in writing
If my workmanship fails, I will repair, redo or undo the affected work to put it right. The written estimate sets out the guarantee and how hardware-warranty support is handled.
The right person for the work
Insured and bonded does not mean licensed as a contractor. I will tell you when a task needs a licensed professional rather than take on work I should not. A suitable referral is better than an unsuitable promise.
Clear terms for digital services, too
Document processing, books and other digital products have their own delivery, data-handling and refund terms. Read the policy pages before buying; the terms for a report are not the same as the guarantee on a physical repair.

One practice

Different tools.
The same care.

Forty years across enterprise data systems and hands-on work have taught me to start the same way: understand the problem, research the right method and use the right tools.

That standard carries into every uSurge service, product and publication. The aim is useful work, done carefully, with something clear and dependable left behind.
