Technology & Project Management

A documented build, end to end.

Six systems carry every iLevel project. Together they keep the budget, the schedule, and every decision documented and visible from day one, from anywhere you are.

Why Technology Matters

The build runs better when nothing is hidden.

Most custom-home pain comes from information that lives in someone’s head or on a contractor’s truck dash. iLevel built the project around a documented stack so the schedule, the budget, and every selection are visible to you, to us, and to every sub on the job.

3D Vista
3D VistaImmersive 3D scans documenting framing, plumbing, and mechanical systems before the walls close. Especially valuable for out-of-state owners. You can walk the rough-in from anywhere, and we keep the scans accessible for a year past handoff.

Chief Architect
Chief ArchitectThe in-house design software behind every iLevel plan set, from schematic through permit-ready construction documents, including detailed 3D renderings. Having design in-house means tighter coordination and faster iteration.

QuickBooks Online
QuickBooks OnlineLine-item job costing where every actual cost is tagged, coded, and documented before billing. CSI division coding. Monthly progress draws billed on actuals plus the builder fee, with the receipts attached. Nothing hidden.

Bluebeam

Starlink Roam
Starlink RoamPortable satellite internet on every job site. Connectivity in remote Black Hills and Wyoming locations where cellular drops out, so daily logs upload on time and field decisions happen on a live video call instead of a long drive.

For You

Visibility from anywhere.

Daily logs, schedule, budget, and 3D scans, all in a portal you can open at any hour. Especially built for owners who don’t live in the Black Hills.

For the Build

Fewer surprises.

Documented decisions, tracked revisions, and tight selections-deadlines mean fewer “we’ll figure it out on site” moments, the place most custom-home budgets bleed.

For the Long Haul

An archive of your home.

3D scans, plan sets, and the full financial trail stay with you. If a future renovation needs to know what’s behind the drywall, the answer is one click away.

Common Questions

What owners ask about the tools.

Do I have to learn six pieces of software to build with you?

No. You log into one, Ressio, and that is where your schedule, budget, daily logs, and selections live. The other five are ours to run. Chief Architect, Bluebeam, and QuickBooks are working tools for the design team, the trades, and the accounting side. What they produce shows up in your portal in a form you can read without a tutorial.

Who owns the 3D scans of my house when the build is finished?

You do. The full scan and image set is delivered to you at closeout. That matters more than it sounds. Twenty years from now, when somebody wants to open a wall to add a circuit or move a shower valve, the record of what is behind that drywall is yours to hand them instead of a guess and an exploratory hole.

Can my lender or my accountant see the budget too?

Yes, with your say-so. Construction lenders generally want documentation behind each draw, and the QuickBooks job costing produces exactly that, with receipts attached and coded by division. Several owners have given their lender or their CPA a read-only path into the numbers. It tends to make draw approvals faster than the usual back-and-forth.

What happens if I spot a problem in a scan after the drywall is up?

Tell us. The scan exists so that question can be answered without demolition. We can locate the run, confirm what the scan shows, and decide together what it takes to correct it. Catching it during rough-in is cheaper and we push owners to review the scans then, but a scan is still a better starting point than opening a wall blind.

Is satellite internet on site really necessary?

On a Belle Fourche in-town lot, no. On a Harding County acreage or a canyon lot outside Deadwood, it is the difference between a same-day answer and a two-day delay. Field decisions get made on a live video call with you instead of a description typed from a truck cab twenty miles down the road where the signal came back.
