Contractor software, integrations & automation

Keep every project, person, and next step connected.

Construction projects generate information everywhere: estimates, emails, plans, schedules, subcontractors, photos, change orders, invoices, and job costs. We build custom software, integrations, and automation that connect the office, field, and financial side of your business, so your team spends less time chasing information and more time moving projects forward.

The reality of running projects

The project is in one place. The information is everywhere.

The problem usually isn't that contractors don't have software. It's that project information is spread across too many places.

We connect the pieces.

One connected project

From the first opportunity to the final payment.

Every stage creates information the next stage needs. We build systems that keep it moving.

What we build

Systems that connect the office, jobsite, and business.

Project & job management

Connect schedules, documents, tasks, milestones, field updates, and communication.

Projects

Estimating & proposals

Turn opportunities into projects without starting over: lead info, estimating, proposals, approvals, and setup.

Estimating

Subcontractor coordination

Manage sub information, documents, assignments, schedules, and communication.

Subcontractors

Field-to-office workflows

Capture daily reports, photos, progress, issues, time, and documentation from the field.

Field ops

Change orders & approvals

A documented process for changes from initial request through customer approval, tied to costs.

Change orders

Purchasing & materials

Connect requests, approvals, purchase orders, receipts, and project allocation.

Purchasing

Job costing & financials

Bring labor, materials, subcontractor costs, commitments, billing, and progress together.

Job costing

Owner & management dashboards

Surface project status, outstanding approvals, schedules, costs, and what needs attention.

Dashboards
Subcontractor coordination

Your schedule depends on people who don't work in your office.

General contractors constantly coordinate outside companies. Instead of information scattered across calls, emails, texts, and PDFs, we build a structured workflow around it.

Onboarding

W-9s, insurance, agreements, contacts, licenses, and required documents.

Scheduling

Project dates, dependencies, confirmations, and changes.

Documents

Plans, scopes, RFIs, submittals, and relevant files.

Progress

Completion updates, photos, issues, and outstanding work.

Payments

Approved work, invoices, documentation, and payment status.

Change management

One change can affect five other things.

Construction changes rarely affect just one document. We build workflows that connect the decision to the people, documents, schedule, and financials it affects.

  1. 1

    Architect issues a revised plan

    The change enters as a documented event, not a buried email.

  2. 2

    Scope changes

    The affected scope is identified across the project.

  3. 3

    Subcontractor pricing changes

    Impacted subs are looped in for updated pricing.

  4. 4

    Material requirements change

    Purchasing and material needs adjust accordingly.

  5. 5

    Schedule shifts

    Dependencies and milestones update across the project.

  6. 6

    Customer approves the additional cost

    Approval is captured so everyone knows what's authorized.

  7. 7

    Project budget updates

    Job costs and reporting reflect the approved change.

Field operations

The office shouldn't have to call the jobsite to find out what's happening.

Electrical, framing, inspections, delays: it all happens in the field, but PMs and office staff need it to keep jobs moving.

Field supervisors submit daily reports, photos, labor, delays, safety documentation, inspections, material requests, and updates from a phone or tablet.

Office staff and project managers see the information without waiting for an email at the end of the day.

Project information

Stop searching through folders for the answer.

Construction projects generate an enormous amount of documentation. Instead of an AI chatbot gimmick, we build an assistant that works over your authorized project information.

Access can follow project roles and permissions, with source information available for verification. AI assists with finding and organizing information; your team remains responsible for project decisions.

Connect your construction software

You shouldn't have to rebuild your business around another app.

You may already use project management, estimating, accounting, payroll, cloud storage, and specialized trade apps. We look at how those systems fit together and where information is entered, copied, or searched for by hand.

Built for growth

The systems that got you here may not get you through the next hundred projects.

Growth doesn't mean replacing everything. It means making sure information can move between the people and systems now responsible for running the business.

Common questions

Contractor software and automation, answered.

What software integrations can you build for a construction company?

We can evaluate integrations between construction management, estimating, accounting, CRM, document management, scheduling, purchasing, and other business systems. The available options depend on the APIs and access each platform provides.

Can you integrate Procore or Buildertrend with our other software?

Yes, where supported. We first look at the information you're trying to move between systems, then evaluate the platform's available APIs, integrations, permissions, and licensing requirements.

Can you build custom software for a general contractor?

Yes. We build custom web applications, mobile field tools, subcontractor portals, project dashboards, estimating tools, integrations, and internal business systems around contractor workflows.

Can construction change orders be automated?

Parts of the process can. A workflow can collect change information, supporting documents and photos, route the change for pricing and review, obtain required approvals, and update connected project records. Final scope and financial decisions remain with authorized staff.

Can field crews submit daily reports from their phones?

Yes. Mobile workflows can capture project progress, labor, photos, delays, inspections, safety information, material requests, and other jobsite updates.

Can construction job costing be automated?

Labor, purchasing, subcontractor, billing, and other project financial information can often be brought together from connected systems to reduce manual reporting. Accuracy depends on the quality and structure of the underlying project and accounting data.

How can AI help a construction company?

AI can assist with finding project information, summarizing documents and field reports, drafting communications, organizing incoming information, identifying items that need attention, and supporting administrative workflows. Project decisions, technical requirements, contracts, safety, pricing, and approvals remain under appropriate human oversight.
