Who built it.

Michael Mackrell. Seven-figure construction entrepreneur. He built it after losing six figures himself on a job he couldn't track.

A shovel and a rake.

I started Black Mountain Dirt Works with a shovel and a rake from Home Depot. No investors. No business plan. No office. Just a truck and the willingness to outwork everyone.

Built it to seven figures.

Four years of pouring concrete, running excavations, managing crews, 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.

Now we dig foundations and clear lots.

The dirt works grew. Now we dig house foundations, handle development sitework, clear lots, and do the heavy ground prep that comes before the build.

Same construction. Same problems. Same money disappearing in the same places.

What I saw on every job.

The same things kept happening. We'd close out a job and find out we were way over on costs nobody had flagged. The owner would mention a change he'd asked for in week three, and we'd realize we never billed for it. A customer would be unhappy because some part of the job ran more than they expected, and we'd be eating the difference.

Different jobs, same leaks. The money just kept finding ways to disappear that nobody could track in time to stop it.

The leaks happen at every scale.

Doesn't matter how big the shop is. The leaks happen the same way at every level. Bigger shops just lose more money to them per job.

So I built software to catch them. Not a course you have to sit through. Not a consulting engagement that ends when the bill does. An actual tool that runs in the background and finds your money before you sign off on the job.

The other software out there was built by people who'd never stood on a jobsite. So I built my own.

Safety isn't a section on the website.
It's why the software exists.

Here's what happens when a job falls behind. Crews rush. People improvise when materials don't show up. The pressure builds week after week because nobody sees the real problem until close-out.

That's where someone gets hurt.

If you can see what's about to go wrong early, you make a real decision instead of a desperate one. Better data saves money. It also keeps the people on your site safer. Both matter.

Want to see it on your own jobs?

Fifteen minutes on the phone. No slides, no scripted pitch. Worst thing that happens is you walk away knowing how the dashboard runs. Best thing is you find money on a job you haven't closed yet.
