FAQ
Quick answers on fit, scope, and how the support model works.
Who is this for?
Pylonary is built for small subcontractors and small GCs that need stronger contract administration without hiring a full internal contracts team.
If your team is stretched, notices are at risk of slipping, or backup is hard to keep clean, this is the right fit.
What does Pylonary handle day to day?
We handle operational contract administration: obligations tracking, notice deadlines, draft correspondence, logs, and backup structure for change orders and claims.
The goal is practical control of contractual workflow so project teams can stay focused on execution.
What does "Construction Management as a Service" mean?
In plain terms, it means you get contract-admin support as an ongoing service instead of building a full in-house function.
You may also see this referred to as CMAAS. For Pylonary, it means practical, repeatable support focused on deadlines, notices, logs, and clean project records.
How is this different from lawyer-first support for non-legal contract tasks?
Many teams involve legal counsel early for operational contract administration work. That can add cost and slow routine project communication.
We run the operational lane first and coordinate with counsel when legal interpretation or representation is actually needed.
How is this different from traditional hourly consultants?
We default to scope-first packages and monthly lanes so expectations and cost are clearer.
That gives smaller teams predictable support instead of open-ended hourly dependency.
Is this legal advice? Do you act as our attorney?
No. Pylonary is not legal counsel of record and nothing we provide should be construed as legal advice.
When legal representation is required, we coordinate with your counsel and provide supporting documentation and entitlement tracking.
Do you work with our existing tools and process?
Yes. We can work through email, calls, and your existing shared drive structure.
The goal is operational improvement without forcing your team onto heavy new software.
How fast is turnaround?
For the Contract Review and Analysis Package, target turnaround is 5 business days after receiving a complete package.
For monthly support plans, turnaround depends on urgency and active workload, with priority handling for critical notice windows.
How do you bill?
We primarily use scope-first packages and monthly plans.
Hourly work is reserved for exception cases with written pre-approval and a hard cap.
How do we get started?
Step 1: Share your project context through intake.
Step 2: Book a 20-minute fit call so we can confirm fit, urgency, and scope.
Step 3: We align the first service lane and begin with your highest-risk items.
