Three jobs.
Done before you've had your morning coffee.

Mason sits between contract award and payment, building and protecting the contractual record so every entitled dollar finds its way back to your P&L.

02 / How it works

Four steps from contract award to protected entitlement.

Setup takes about 12 minutes per project. The compounding starts immediately.

Step 01

Create the project, upload the contract.

Drag in the executed subcontract. Mason runs OCR if it's a scan, chunks the clauses, and stores them for retrieval.

Step 02

Get the risk register in minutes.

Time-bars, set-off, retention, dispute path — extracted, ranked and exported. Take it into the kickoff meeting.

Step 03

Invite the site team by phone number.

Site stays on WhatsApp. One number per project. They text what happened. Mason classifies, deadlines, and routes.

Step 04

Approve notices from the inbox.

The Outlook add-in surfaces the draft VO or EOT in the email you're already composing. Approve, send, logged.

03 / Claim taxonomy

27 grounds. Mapped to your contract's actual clauses.
