CRM for contractors

A custom CRM for contractors and construction companies

Leads come from the website, marketplaces and phone calls, estimates live in one tool, invoices in QuickBooks and the schedule on a whiteboard. We build one system that holds the whole job — from first call to final invoice — shaped around how your company actually works.

Scope

What a contractor CRM can include

Only the parts your process needs — built around jobs, not generic deals.

01

Lead intake

Website forms, Thumbtack, Angi and phone calls land in one pipeline with the source recorded.

02

Estimates & change orders

Line-item estimates, approvals and change orders attached to the job.

03

Jobs & scheduling

Crews, subcontractors and job dates on one calendar, synced with Google Calendar.

04

Job costing

Materials, labor and payments per project, so margins are visible before the job closes.

05

QuickBooks sync

Customers, estimates and invoices synced with QuickBooks Online — entered once.

06

Field app

A mobile app for crews: job details, photos, notes and status updates from the site.

Delivery

How the project runs

The same four phases on every project. Only their length changes with scope.

1. Discovery · 1–2 weeks

Interviews with the people who will use the system, a map of the current process, a written specification and an estimate. The documents are yours even if you build elsewhere.

2. Architecture · 1–2 weeks

Data model, integrations, infrastructure and a milestone schedule. This is where the scope, price and launch date are fixed in writing.

3. Build · two-week iterations

A working demo every Friday and a staging environment you can open at any time. Changes in scope are priced and agreed before they are built.

4. Launch & support · ongoing

Deployment, handover, documentation and training, then a support arrangement sized to the business.

Pricing

How much does a construction CRM cost?

Typical ranges for US clients at 2025–26 senior remote rates. The fixed price is agreed in writing after discovery.

A custom system has no monthly license per user — you pay for hosting at cost. Use the configurator to see a range for your scope.

FAQ

Questions we are asked most

Why not use an off-the-shelf contractor software?

Off-the-shelf tools charge per user every month and make you adapt your process to theirs. A custom CRM fits the way your estimates, jobs and crews already work, and you own it outright.

Can you move our data from our current software or spreadsheets?

Yes. Customers, jobs, estimates and history are migrated in stages during the build, so the office keeps working during the switch.

Do we own the system and the data?

Yes. Repositories, cloud accounts and data are created in your name from the first commit. There is no per-seat license and no lock-in.

How long does it take?

A core contractor CRM is usually live in 6–10 weeks, with a working demo every Friday. A crew mobile app extends the timeline depending on scope.
