Construction management tools built for specialty contractors

Most construction software is built for GCs. BuildWorkPro is designed from the ground up for subcontractors — so you can bid, build, and bill without the bloat.

Project Management

Track every project from bid to completion with phases, tasks, Gantt charts, and team assignments. Kanban boards and timeline views keep your crew aligned.

CRM & Lead Tracking

Visual Kanban pipeline with configurable stages, pipeline values, and probability tracking. Convert a won lead straight into a bid — no re-entry.

Bids & Estimates

Professional bids with line items, marks, labor rates, and distributed costs. Generate polished PDFs and convert accepted bids directly into projects.

Pay Applications

AIA-style pay apps with schedule of values and retainage, prefilled from your bid and approved change orders. Track each one from Draft through Approved to Paid.

Change Orders

Price scope changes as line items and track them from Draft to Approved. Approved change orders adjust your contract value and roll into your next pay app.

Site Logs

Daily field documentation with personnel on site, work performed, materials received, issues, and photos. A dated record of every jobsite day when disputes surface.

Contact Management

One contact database for customers, GCs, vendors, and subs — typed, searchable, and importable from CSV. Parent-company links keep branch offices organized.

Time Tracking

Log crew hours against projects and tasks in quarter-hour increments. Managers review entries before they are finalized, with hours and labor cost totaled per period.

Team & Permissions

Role-based access with Admin, Manager, Member, Field Crew, and Viewer roles — including a restricted field role so on-site crews see their work, not your numbers.

Dashboard & Analytics

Your sub business at a glance

Real-time KPIs built for specialty contractors — pipeline value, active jobs, pending bids, and crew activity. No GC overhead, just what matters to your trade.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is construction project management software?

Construction project management software helps contractors organize bids, track projects, manage pay applications, handle change orders, and keep field operations running smoothly — all in one place. BuildWorkPro is built specifically for subcontractors like electrical, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, and framing companies who need a simpler alternative to tools designed for general contractors.

How much does BuildWorkPro cost and is there a free trial?

BuildWorkPro is $79/month (or $790/year) with all features included and unlimited users. Every account starts with a 14-day free trial — no credit card required. Click "Start free trial" anywhere on this site to get started.

Can BuildWorkPro replace spreadsheets for managing bids and pay apps?

Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. Create detailed estimates with line items, labor rates, and markup. Generate AIA-style pay applications with schedule of values. Track change orders with approval workflows. Everything stays connected to the project, so you stop juggling spreadsheets and email threads.

Does BuildWorkPro work on phones and tablets at the job site?

BuildWorkPro is fully web-based and works on any device with a modern browser — no app to install. Log time, submit site logs, check project status, or review a bid from your phone, tablet, or laptop. A native mobile app is also coming soon.

How does BuildWorkPro handle QuickBooks integration?

BuildWorkPro syncs invoices, payments, and job costs with QuickBooks Online so your books stay up to date without double entry. Connect your QuickBooks company from Settings → Integrations. It also integrates with Gmail and Google Calendar — plus Claude Desktop and ChatGPT via MCP — to keep your existing workflow connected.

Is my construction data secure?

Yes. BuildWorkPro uses TLS encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control with four permission levels, complete audit logging, and full tenant isolation — your data is never accessible to other companies. We also support two-factor authentication.

How is BuildWorkPro different from Procore or Buildertrend?

Most construction software is built for general contractors and charges per user, often starting at $299/month or more. BuildWorkPro is purpose-built for subcontractors at a flat $79/month for unlimited users. You get bidding, project management, pay apps, change orders, time tracking, and CRM without paying for features subs don't need.

Can I import data from my current system?

Yes. BuildWorkPro supports CSV imports for contacts, projects, and products. If you're migrating from another platform, our team can help with the transition during onboarding.
