Operational control tools for trades and construction companies across Ontario.
Most trades companies lose thousands every year at job closeout — missing hours, untracked extras, no paper trail. We build the systems that protect your revenue and keep you compliant.
Start small, see the value, and expand only when you've seen results.
Each tool is a standalone, fixed-scope build that solves one specific operational problem. Your audit helps you pick your starting point.
Answer 12 questions about how your business runs today. We score your operational gaps across finance, safety, HR, and field ops and show you the results before asking for anything.
Ontario trades & construction companies · Based in Casselman, ON
Most software companies want you to sign a contract before you've seen anything work. Plumbline doesn't. Every step delivers something you can use — and you decide whether to keep going.
Ten minutes. That's all it takes to find out where your operation is bleeding money. Answer questions about how you actually run jobs — timesheets, safety docs, change orders, closeouts — and get a ranked breakdown of your biggest vulnerabilities.
You see the results before you hand over your email. No pitch, no pressure. Just your score.
Most contractors know something is wrong. They just don't know exactly where. The Operational Audit finds it. Charron Digital reviews how your business actually runs — not how it's supposed to — and comes back with a ranked report that tells you exactly what's costing you money and what your liability exposure looks like.
You get a written report and a follow-up call to walk through it. No obligation to go further. The report is yours either way.
Your audit tells you exactly which gaps to close first. Pick one. Pick three. Each tool is scoped, priced, and delivered as a standalone fix — no waiting for a full system to get value on day one.
You know what you're getting before you commit. No surprises, no scope creep, no "that's extra."
At some point, jumping between three tabs gets old. When you're ready to run your entire operation from one connected platform, everything you've already built becomes the foundation. Nothing gets thrown away. Your tools connect, your data flows between them, and your team works out of one system instead of three.
Full builds are delivered by Charron Digital Group Inc. and are scoped to your specific operation — not a generic template with your logo on it.
The assessment takes 10 minutes and shows you your results before asking for anything.
A flat-fee deep dive into your workflow that tells you precisely where you're losing money, where your liability is, and what to fix first.
The audit report ranks your gaps by financial and liability impact. You choose which gaps to address and in what order — or you don't act on it at all. The report stands on its own.
If you choose to address the gaps, each recommendation maps to a specific tool in our library. Fixed scope, fixed price. You know exactly what you're getting before you commit.
Tools built standalone connect into a full integrated system when you're ready. You don't have to buy the farm to fix the most expensive problem first.
The audit is a legitimate business expense. You receive a proper invoice from Charron Digital Group Inc.
The audit reviews your workflow, not your software. Most gaps exist regardless of what tools you're using. If your current tools are working well in certain areas the audit will reflect that.
No. The report is yours. You can act on it yourself, hire someone else, or come back when you're ready. There's no obligation beyond the $600 flat fee.
The intake form takes 20 to 30 minutes at your own pace. The follow-up call is 30 to 45 minutes. Your total time commitment is under an hour.
The audit stands on its own. The recommendations are honest — if your gaps don't map to our tools we'll tell you that. We'd rather give you an accurate report than a convenient one.
The follow-up call exists specifically to discuss the report. Findings are based on your intake responses and our analysis — if something doesn't reflect your reality, we want to know.
Yes. The audit is a legitimate business consulting expense. You receive a proper invoice from Charron Digital Group Inc.
Trades and construction companies with 2 to 50 employees operating in Ontario. If you're outside that range reach out — we'll tell you honestly whether it makes sense.
Each tool is a standalone, fixed-scope build that solves one specific operational problem. Your audit tells you which ones you need. You pick where to start.
"A GC called asking for our fall arrest plan and daily JSAs. We had something on paper from two years ago. That was a bad afternoon."
Digital safety documentation for every site, every day. JSAs completed and signed on mobile, certification expiry tracked automatically, incident reports logged with timestamps. MOL-ready records without the filing cabinet.
"We do the work, close the job, send the invoice — and find out two weeks later we forgot to bill three change orders and half a day of labour."
Every change order, extra, and billable item tracked against the job in real time. A mandatory closeout checklist enforced before the job can be marked complete. You see your margin before you send the invoice — not after.
"I'm still chasing timesheets on Friday afternoon. Half the time I'm guessing who worked what and for how long."
Digital timesheets with mobile clock-in/out, manager approval workflows, and payroll-ready exports. Every hour logged, approved, and accounted for before it reaches payroll.
"I find out whether a job made money when I do the books at month end. By then there's nothing I can do about it."
Real-time labour, material, and equipment costs tracked against your estimate as the job runs. You see your margin at any point during the job — not just after it closes.
"We handed out the employee handbook once. I think. I can't prove anyone read it, and I definitely can't prove the sub we brought in last month was briefed on our safety expectations."
Digital policy acknowledgment, structured worker onboarding, and sub prequalification — all logged with timestamps. Every worker documented before they touch a site.
"We keep using the same sub because they're familiar. But looking back, they've caused three deficiencies in the last year and we've never had a record of it."
Track sub reliability, quality, and pricing history across every job. A running ledger of performance data that tells you which subs earn more work and which ones cost you money.
Every resource on this page is free. Built for trades and construction companies in Ontario who want to tighten up their operations without committing to a full system build.
We don't sell your information. We don't spam. You get the resource and occasional updates when new tools are added.
Most small contractors in Ontario are operating without the safety documentation the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) requires. A fall arrest plan, daily JSAs, and worker orientation records aren't optional — they're legal requirements.
Templates should be reviewed against current MOL and WSIB requirements for your specific work type. Plumbline templates are provided as a starting point, not legal advice.
The free assessment scores your operational exposure and shows you the results before asking for anything.

Plumbline exists because most trades and construction companies in Ontario are running their operations the same way they did ten years ago — spreadsheets, group texts, paper timesheets, and a lot of things living in the owner's head.
The cost of that shows up at job closeout, during a WSIB audit, or when a good employee leaves and takes half the institutional knowledge with them. It's not a technology problem. It's a controls problem.
The tools to fix it have existed for years. What was missing was a team that understood both the operational gaps and how to build systems that close them — without charging enterprise prices or requiring IT departments to maintain them.
That's what Plumbline is. Fixed-price operational control tools built specifically for the trades and construction companies that are too busy building things to build their own systems.
Charron Digital Group Inc. is an Ontario company that builds operational systems for trades and construction businesses. Plumbline is the company's productized service line — fixed-price tools, structured audits, and free resources built specifically for the owner-operators who keep Ontario's construction sector running.
The work is grounded in a background that combines internal auditing with hands-on systems development. That means every engagement starts with understanding how a business actually operates — not how it's supposed to — before anything gets built. Controls thinking first, tools second.
The result is a system that fits the business rather than the other way around. Platforms built on this approach don't require enterprise budgets, don't demand IT departments, and don't need a manual to operate in the field.
Charron Digital Group Inc. holds all IP, signs all contracts, and stands behind every tool and system delivered under the Plumbline brand.
Case studies available on request. Video walkthrough of the Material Connect build coming soon.
