The reader is still the reader.
The door schedule is what nobody can find.
The access-control install where the door schedule lived in one estimator's spreadsheet and nobody could reconcile it against the panel layout at cutover. The certified-payroll filing on the prevailing-wage door job that ate a weekend. Forge is the chest a working access-control integrator would build for himself — and Access Control is a drawer Forge is opening next, not one it ships today.
The drawers that matter most
when the truck door opens.
Built to carry door-by-door assemblies — readers, controllers, REX, mag-locks, strikes, power supplies, the head-end. Designed so the bid lives in twenty minutes instead of an afternoon in a spreadsheet. Charter members tune the assemblies to what their crews actually install.
Designed to hold the door schedule, panel layout, and as-built on one version-controlled document plate, so the next integrator inherits the truth instead of a network-drive spreadsheet. In development for access control — Charter members get it first.
Treasury already runs certified payroll, Davis-Bacon, prevailing wage, and WH-347 for shipping trades. Built to extend to access-control labor on prevailing-wage door work — the same engine, a new drawer.
Designed to flex the crew when the GC slips and to write the change-order off the scope delta. Dispatch is live across Forge's active trades; the access-control configuration is what Charter members shape during development.
Hyperion is the iPad/iPhone LiDAR instrument that walks a roof and returns a line-item estimate today for roofing and solar. For access control it's designed to scan corridors and entries — door counts, opening locations, mounting heights, line-of-sight for readers and REX. Same instrument, a drawer still on the bench. Charter access-control members get it first, and they shape what it captures.
The first access control Charter member
writes their own page here.
The quote, the metrics, the photograph — all of it. The Forge team supports every word; the operator carries the page. If you've been waiting for the moment that earns you the badge, this is it.
Two Charter seats open for access control. The drawer is in Charter development — the first members shape it before it ships.

No — and we're not going to pretend otherwise. Forge ships today for roofing, security and fire, AV and low-voltage, solar, HVAC, and electrical. Access control is in Charter development: the estimating, documentation, dispatch, and certified-payroll modules already run for the active trades, and the access-control configuration is being built. Charter members who sign now shape the drawer before it ships rather than inheriting it after.
No. Forge is the integrator's operating system — the estimate, the door schedule, the BOM, dispatch, certified payroll, and the project record. The access platform that runs the doors at the head-end stays yours. Forge is built to own the work around the install that those platforms don't carry.
Hyperion is Forge's LiDAR scanning instrument — today it returns a line-item estimate from a roof or array scan for roofing and solar. For access control it's designed to scan entries and corridors for door counts, opening locations, and reader line-of-sight, then feed a door-by-door estimate. That's built-to, not shipped — it's a drawer Charter members get first. Forge publishes its Hyperion accuracy methodology (±0.8% on commercial flat/low-slope geometry, ±2% on complex geometry) at /proof/hyperion-accuracy; that figure graduates to a measured benchmark after independent third-party verification.
Charter is by application: $27,000 prepaid for 36 months (~$750/mo equivalent), locked forever, ten seats. Two access-control seats are open. Public pricing is a la carte: Forge Core $499/mo flat (unlimited users, no per-seat) plus modules (Hyperion $399, Atlas $149, Torch $99, Treasury $99 + $8/employee, Sigil $49, Calliope $149/function, Mentor $79/rep, Herald $59/rep), packaged as Starter $299, the Working Stack about $900 (Core + Hyperion + Sigil), and Full Platform about $1,999. Charter members get future tools — including the access-control drawer — included as they ship.

Charter is the operator who builds with the new tools first. Ten seats across all trades. Locked when filled. The rate doesn't move — ever — while the public list rises around you.
The needs have been the same for 4,000 years.
The door is one of the oldest controls there is. Forge is building the chest for the operator who installs it next.
