Custom software is how construction companies win the bids that require a better process.
We build custom software for construction companies — estimating tools, project management systems, subcontractor coordination platforms, and safety compliance workflows that give you an operational advantage over competitors still using spreadsheets. Fixed scope, fixed price.
Your estimating process takes 40 hours per bid because it's built in Excel with no version control, no takeoff integration, and no way to reuse historical data from similar projects. You're losing bids to faster estimators and leaving money in won bids because your cost model isn't accurate enough.
Construction companies win on a combination of price, speed, and trust. Estimating software that accurately predicts costs — based on your own historical data for similar projects, not industry averages — lets you bid with confidence rather than guesswork. Project management software that tracks the actual flow of your work — RFIs, submittals, change orders, inspections, and punchlist — lets you find problems before they become claims.
The commercial tools — Procore, Buildertrend, PlanSwift — are designed for the median construction company. The median construction company builds residential homes or does generic commercial work. If you're a specialty contractor (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing, concrete, steel), an owner's representative, or a construction management firm, the commercial tool's assumptions don't match your workflow. You're either not using the features designed for other trade types, or you're missing the features specific to yours.
Custom construction software starts from your actual workflow: how you estimate, how you manage a project, how you coordinate with subcontractors and owners, and what data you need to make decisions. The result is software that improves the specific parts of your operation that matter most to your competitive position.
Custom construction software that fits your specific workflow — estimating with historical data, project management with your phase structure, and subcontractor coordination that eliminates the status-call backlog.
Estimating with historical data
Estimating tool that uses your historical unit costs, productivity rates, and markup structures — not industry averages. Estimate versions for different scope scenarios, with a detailed breakdown exportable for client or owner review.
Project management built for your phase structure
Project phases configured for your trade type, with the milestones, quality control checkpoints, and inspection requirements that your specific work generates.
Subcontractor management and coordination
Sub scopes assigned in the system, progress tracking per sub, RFI and change order routing, and payment application review workflow — replacing the email chain that's currently the only way subs communicate with your office.
Safety and compliance documentation
Daily safety report, incident logging, toolbox talk records, and OSHA-required documentation — digital, searchable, and stored against the project record rather than in a filing cabinet.
Owner and client reporting
Formatted progress reports with photo evidence, budget vs. actuals, and schedule status — generated in the system, not assembled by a project manager in PowerPoint. Built on Next.js, Postgres, S3 for drawings and documents, and an offline-capable mobile interface for field use.
One honest number to start.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price. The number below is the starting point — final scope is built from your brief.
Custom construction software that fits your specific workflow — estimating with historical data, project management with your phase structure, and subcontractor coordination that eliminates the status-call backlog.
Three steps, every time.
The same repeatable engagement on every project. No surprises, no mystery, no billable ambiguity.
Brief & discovery.
We send you questions, then get on a call. Output: a written scope with every step, feature, and integration listed.
Build & ship.
Fixed schedule, weekly reviews. No scope creep unless you change the scope — and if you do, we reprice it transparently.
Warranty & retainer.
30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.
Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
Construction companies operate on project budgets. Technology investment is a capital decision that needs a defined cost and a defined benefit. Fixed scope and fixed price makes that decision straightforward — you know the cost before you commit, and the scope is written into the contract.

Questions, answered.
We integrate with Bluebeam or PlanSwift for quantity takeoff data import, so your takeoff quantities flow directly into the estimating model without manual re-entry. If you're using a different takeoff tool, we assess the export format in discovery.
Yes — multi-prime projects where you're managing multiple prime contractors (each with their own scope, contract, and payment application) have a different project structure than a GC-to-sub model. We build the contract structure, payment application workflow, and reporting to match.
Drawing sets are versioned — when a revision is issued, the previous revision is archived and the current revision is flagged across all affected systems. RFIs are linked to the drawing or specification section they affect, with ball-in-court visibility and response tracking.
A custom estimating, project management, and subcontractor coordination platform typically runs $50k–$100k. Safety compliance module and owner reporting add scope. Fixed-price.
