We're contractors.
Not a tech company.

It started with a shovel from Home Depot.

Four years ago, Michael Mackrell walked into Home Depot, bought a shovel and a rake, and started Black Mountain Dirt Works. No investors. No business plan. No office. Just a truck and the willingness to outwork everyone.

Four years of pouring concrete, running excavations, managing crews, and doing whatever the job demanded. Every early morning. Every late night. Every dollar earned in the dirt.

Black Mountain Dirt Works grew into a seven-figure construction company. Not by cutting corners — by knowing the work inside and out.

He saw the problem every day.

Running crews in the field, Michael saw what every contractor sees: numbers that were always late, money disappearing into places nobody could track, and reports that showed up weeks after the damage was done.

The tools out there didn't help. They were built by tech companies that had never stood on a jobsite or managed a subtrade.

So he built his own.

Tools. Not software.

We call them tools on purpose. Contractors don't need another app or platform. They need something that does one thing and does it well.

Our tools show you where your money is going, flag what's going wrong, and tell you what to do about it. Simple as that.

No buzzwords. No fluff. If a project is losing money, we say so. And we tell you how much.

Why we do this.

Construction is one of the last big industries where people still track millions of dollars on spreadsheets. Not because contractors aren't smart. They are. But nobody built tools that actually fit how they work.

Every tool we build starts with one question: would a busy superintendent actually use this on a Thursday afternoon when three things are going wrong?

If the answer is no, we don't build it.

We never left the dirt.

Black Mountain Dirt Works is still running. Still pouring concrete. Still running excavations. Michael runs both companies — one hand in the field, one hand building the technology.

That's why our tools work. We're not guessing at construction problems from a desk. We're still living them. Every single day.
