# Workhand

> Workhand is a mobile job management app for small construction crews (iOS, Android, and a desktop dashboard). Built solo by Andrew Bernardo, a Tampa Bay pool construction PM. Positioned for owners running 15 people or fewer who need estimates, invoices, chat, and profit tracking on the phone, in the truck, on the jobsite, not at a desk.

## What Workhand is

A mobile-first construction PM app for small crews and trade contractors. Bootstrapped under Innovative Ops LLC (Florida). Not venture-funded. Feature parity across iOS, Android, and the web dashboard at dashboard.workhand.app. Full English, Spanish, and Portuguese (Brazil) UI translation, not just marketing copy.
