Construction software development from a team that built a construction ERP.
Estimating, job costing, progress billing, procurement and field reporting - built for general contractors, subcontractors and developers who have outgrown spreadsheets but not their way of working.

Construction runs on documents that move between the office, the trailer and the site: estimates, change orders, pay applications, lien waivers, daily logs, timesheets. When those live in spreadsheets, email and group chats, margin disappears between the cracks and nobody knows it until the job closes.
Our team built and operates Smart Construction, a cloud ERP for contractors covering estimates and bills of quantities, projects, billing with retention, labour and payroll, procurement and subcontractor ledgers, site diaries, inventory and an AI copilot. We bring that domain knowledge to custom software and integrations for US contractors.
Where the time and money leak.
Margin found out too late
Budgets, commitments and actual costs live in different files, so job profitability is a month-end surprise instead of a weekly number.
Billing that stalls cash flow
Progress billing, retainage and change orders assembled by hand every month - and a missing lien waiver holds up payment.
Field-to-office gaps
Daily logs, photos and timesheets arrive by text message, hours late, and get re-typed in the office.
Tools that don't talk
Estimating, project management and accounting each hold part of the truth, and someone reconciles them manually.
Software for construction teams, shaped around your workflow.
Each of these can be a focused first project. Most clients start with the one that costs them the most hours each week.
Estimating & takeoff to budget
Estimates and bills of quantities that become job budgets automatically when you win the work.
Job costing dashboards
Budget vs. committed vs. actual per job and cost code, updated as purchase orders and timesheets land.
Pay applications & retainage
AIA-style G702/G703 progress billing, retainage tracking, change orders and lien-waiver checklists.
Field apps & daily logs
Offline-capable mobile apps for daily reports, photos, safety checklists and crew timesheets.
Subcontractor & vendor portals
Subs submit bids, invoices, insurance certificates and lien waivers through one portal with expiry alerts.
Approvals on WhatsApp or SMS
Payment and change-order approvals pushed to managers on the channel they actually check.

Systems we integrate with
Named platforms are examples we build against through their public APIs - not partnership claims.
Built with the rules in mind.
Plain-English notes, not legal advice. We configure the specifics with your attorney or compliance lead.
Certified payroll for public work
Prevailing-wage jobs need certified payroll reports (such as the federal WH-347 format for Davis-Bacon work). We build the data capture so reports come out of timesheets, not a separate spreadsheet.
Lien waivers and insurance certificates
Conditional and unconditional waivers and certificates of insurance tracked per sub and per payment, with rules that block payment when something's missing. State waiver forms differ - we configure yours with your counsel.
Typical budgets, up front.

Construction software: common questions.
Should we build custom software or use Procore or Buildertrend?
If a platform like Procore fits your workflow, use it - and we can build the integrations and reporting around it. Custom makes sense when your estimating, billing or cost tracking is specific enough that the platforms force workarounds, or when per-user pricing across field crews gets expensive.
Have you built construction software before?
Yes. Our team built and runs Smart Construction, a cloud ERP for contractors with estimating and bills of quantities, projects, billing with retention, labour and payroll, procurement, site diaries, inventory and an AI copilot.
Can field crews use it offline?
Yes. Our field apps store data on the device and sync when a connection returns, which matters on sites with poor signal.
Can it connect to QuickBooks or Sage?
Yes. We sync jobs, cost codes, bills and invoices with QuickBooks Online or Sage Intacct so accounting stays the system of record.
What does construction software cost?
Field apps and single modules start around $15k, full operations modules around $25k, and multi-module platforms typically run $60k–$150k in phases.
