About Rel8
Built by an operator who still does the work.
I'm Dan Richards. I've spent 16+ years selling and managing commercial recovery work, supporting $100M+ in combined commercial revenue across demanding commercial accounts. Rel8 exists because I kept watching good operators lose winnable work to bad systems. Not bad crews. Not bad pricing. Bad systems.
Most restoration and commercial construction companies don't have a sales problem. They have a systems problem. Leads slip through cracks. Jobs aren't tracked. Invoices go out late. Teams run on memory instead of process. Rel8 installs the Operator Intelligence System: CRM, AI automation, field operations, and the sales habits that hold it together.

Systems, not slides.
HubSpot or Salesforce CRM, AI automation, field ops, and sales habits, installed and adopted, not just designed.
Built for the work.
Every workflow is shaped around how restoration, recovery, and commercial construction actually run: intake, estimate, dispatch, job, invoice, follow-up.
Direct CRE & FM focus.
The system is tuned to win and hold direct portfolios with property managers, asset managers, and facility teams, not insurance and bid work.
Adoption is the deliverable.
A perfect tool no one uses is a failed project. Success is what your team runs on Monday morning.
In one line
Rel8 helps restoration and commercial construction companies become the obvious choice, and builds the systems that keep them that way.
