Shamus McCabe and David Mill on the DIAL IN Podcast in the SCELTA office.

SCELTA helps construction companies run smoother because it’s built Boots on the Ground with the people on site who will be using it.


In Episode 12 of the DIAL IN Podcast, Shamus McCabe of Four Leaf Renovations shares how he grew from a two-person crew into a company managing full-scale additions and custom homes.


This blog explores how SCELTA RealTime and SCELTA Portal are designed to solve the exact problems contractors like Shamus experience daily from keeping crews in sync to showing progress to clients, without creating more friction.


Construction Field Management Software That Fits the Way You Work


Shamus didn’t build Four Leaf with complex tech stacks or corporate software. His team runs on trust, clear expectations, and a consistent rhythm.


But like many fast-growing construction companies, staying ahead of communication challenges is getting harder.


He built it with early mornings, team huddles, daily walkthroughs, and high expectations. That rhythm works, but only when everyone’s on the same page.

“The number one issue in my business right now is communication… I just need to get the right info to everyone at the same time.”

SCELTA RealTime is a construction field management software built to support contractors like Shamus who already run a tight crew but need tech that can scale with them.


With RealTime, teams can:

  • Assign jobs and track progress

  • Log photos and site updates

  • Manage service tickets

  • Track hours per job and crew member


And most importantly, it keeps that info moving between the office and the crew in real time.


Why Contractors Choose SCELTA Portal for Client Communication


Shamus puts it clearly: too much transparency can overwhelm clients, but not enough makes them nervous. SCELTA Portal is designed with that balance in mind. Four Leaf solves this by documenting everything internally, then sharing clean, timely progress updates with the client.


SCELTA Portal lets contractors:

  • Share project progress photos with clients

  • Send controlled updates that build trust

  • Store files and selections in one place

  • Reduce the need for back-and-forth texts and emails

“Clients don’t want to hear everything. They want to see progress and know you’re on it.”

With Portal, communication stays clean and consistent. Clients feel informed without being flooded. And the team can keep working without getting sidetracked.


The Best Tech Still Starts with People


Shamus’s team culture is dialled in. They meet at the shop every morning at 7 a.m., assign jobs, talk through expectations, and check in on progress daily. SCELTA doesn’t replace that. It amplifies it.


The software works because the people care. And people only care about the software when they feel it was made specially for how they operate.
