AI crew dispatch, change order management, progress billing, estimates, and punch-list close-out in one platform — the construction business software contractors actually run on. [Book a 15-minute call](https://calendly.com/jeel-fieldcamp/30min)We'll spin up your data model on the call. 4.8Capterra Trusted by construction firms — two-crew remodelers to multi-project GCs. General ContractingRemodelingFramingConcreteRoofingSpecialty Trades 01 One source of truth ## Every project, phase, and crew on _one structured record._ FieldCamp [models construction the way you build it](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/data-model/construction): a Project (the site) holds Phases — foundation, framing, rough-in, finish — and each phase [rolls up Jobs](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/job-management/multi-day-jobs-overview), change orders, inspections, and progress billing. Open the Whitaker Residence and you see the whole job: $214,500 contract, rough-in 60% complete, a 9-day-overdue electrical inspection flashing red, and CO-003 pending homeowner sign-off. No spreadsheets, no whiteboard, no construction CRM software stitched to a separate scheduler. One record from first bid to final walkthrough. Linked records Jobs link to their phase, phases to the project. Open one project and see every phase, change order, inspection, and draw in place. Typed fields Phase type, % complete, budget, inspection status, cost code — structured fields with real types, never a free-text dump. Phase history Every job and inspection rolls up to the phase it belongs to. Overdue inspections raise a flag the PM sees before they block the next trade. Shared record views One record per project and phase — scope, budget, inspection log, change orders — the same source your office, PM, and field crews work from. 02 Capture the bid request ## Turn an [inbound remodel inquiry](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-receptionist/) _into a [scheduled site visit](https://fieldcamp.ai/online-booking/)._ A homeowner fills out your quote form or calls about a kitchen remodel — FieldCamp creates the Project record, captures address, scope, and budget range, and books the on-site estimate walkthrough straight onto the right estimator's calendar. The Whitaker inquiry becomes a real project before anyone touches a tape measure. WhatsApp, SMS, Instagram, Google, web, and the phone land in one inbox. 03 Schedule the crew ### Dispatch the right crew to the right phase, _by trade._ FieldCamp is [construction scheduling software](https://fieldcamp.ai/scheduling/) with an [AI dispatcher](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/) that knows drywall can't start until rough-in inspection passes. It assigns crews by trade skill, zone, drive time, and phase dependency — and every card lands with a one-click reason. Dispatching crews by trade across an active jobsite is exactly what the [construction dispatch use case](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/use-cases/construction/) is built for — it matches each phase to the right [skill set](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/features/skill-based-dispatching/). For multi-week builds it plans crews across days with [multi-day route planning](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/features/multi-day-route-planning/) — here's [how multi-day scheduling works](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/blog/multi-day-scheduling/). Auto mode fills the week the moment a job is created. Assist mode queues every assignment for your PM to review. 04 Bid and change orders ## Send a [clean estimate](https://fieldcamp.ai/quotes/) — _and price change orders without the awkward call._ Build a line-item bid for the remodel, present good/better/best options, and when the homeowner asks to move the island, log Change Order CO-003 at $4,850 with the extra days spelled out. They approve from their phone, it locks to the contract value, and there's no scope-creep argument at the end of the job. Construction estimate template built in — reusable by project type. Build the first one fast with our free [estimate template](https://fieldcamp.ai/free-tools/estimate-template/) and [profit margin calculator](https://fieldcamp.ai/free-tools/profit-margin-calculator/). Not sure whether to send a bid or a formal document? Read [proposal vs quote](https://fieldcamp.ai/blog/proposal-vs-quote/) and price the line items with the [service price calculator](https://fieldcamp.ai/free-tools/service-price-calculator/). 05 Progress billing ## [Bill by phase, draw, or % complete](https://fieldcamp.ai/invoicing-software/) — _and collect on time._ Construction doesn't bill once. Draws collect online and [sync straight to your accounting](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/payments/payments-overview), so progress payments never sit uncashed. FieldCamp invoices against the schedule of values: a deposit at award, draws as phases complete, plus approved change orders rolled in automatically. The Whitaker job bills the rough-in draw at 60% with CO-003 attached, sends online payment, and flags anything overdue before it ages 30 days. 06 Warranty & punch list ### Close out clean and [never miss a warranty callback.](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/data-model/service-agreements) When the job wraps, FieldCamp runs the punch list as a digital [checklist and form](https://fieldcamp.ai/checklists-forms/) so nothing gets signed off until it's actually done, captures sign-off, and starts the warranty clock. Annual walkthroughs and workmanship callbacks auto-schedule — so the 11-month warranty visit on the Whitaker remodel lands on the calendar instead of a forgotten folder. The overdue inspection never slips again. Punch list tracking, inspection status, and warranty reminders are built in — not bolted on. 07 Everything else a contractor runs on ## [Crews](https://fieldcamp.ai/team-management/), [cost codes](https://fieldcamp.ai/reporting-software/), photos, and AI — _built for the field._ Job costing, crew time tracking, phase photos, permit storage, sub management, and an AI assistant that drafts bids, schedules crews around inspection dependencies, and chases overdue draws — the rest of the construction business software a contractor runs on, woven into the same project and phase records.

When the inspector calls, the PM sees every phase, every change order, every permit on that project — without scrolling through a notes field. Decisions get faster. Scope creep gets documented before it becomes an argument. 02 ### Change orders pay for themselves. CO status is a real field, not a tag. Approved change orders roll into the next draw automatically. Pending COs land in a follow-up queue. The AI assistant drafts the CO language from the job record it can see. 03 ### Built around your build, not theirs. Need lien waivers, inspection logs, or sub certificates? Add a custom object — same engine, same dispatch board, same reports. It's the construction project management software for contractors that scales from a two-crew remodeler to a multi-project GC, with no separate compliance product to license.

Construction software — more precisely construction business software — is the all-in-one system a contractor uses to run the entire job lifecycle from one place: capturing bid requests, estimating and sending change orders, scheduling and dispatching crews by phase, tracking job costs and crew time, billing by progress draw, and managing warranty and punch-list close-out. Instead of stitching together a spreadsheet for the estimate, a whiteboard for the schedule, and a separate app for invoices, FieldCamp keeps every project, phase, crew, and dollar on one structured record. Who is FieldCamp construction software for? General contractors, remodelers, home builders, and specialty trades — concrete, framing, drywall, roofing, painting, decks/additions — who run multi-phase projects with crews, subs, change orders, and progress billing. If you bid the work, schedule a crew, and bill by draw, it fits. Small repair and handyman operators can flatten the model to Project → Job. Can I create and send construction estimates and bids? Yes. Build line-item bids with labor, materials, and cost codes, present good/better/best options, and send them for digital approval from the field. When scope changes, log a change order with the added cost and days, and the homeowner or GC approves it from their phone — so it locks to the contract value instead of becoming an end-of-job argument. Searching for a construction estimate template? FieldCamp replaces the spreadsheet with reusable estimate templates by project type. How does progress billing and change-order management work? FieldCamp bills against a schedule of values, not a single invoice. Take a deposit at award, then bill draws as phases complete (e.g., 'Draw 2 of 5 — Rough-in at 60%'), with approved change orders rolled into the total automatically. Online payments, partial-payment tracking, and overdue flags keep cash flowing before invoices age past 30 days. Can I schedule and dispatch crews and subcontractors? Yes. Drag crews and subs onto a calendar or dispatch board, assign jobs to the right phase, and FieldCamp respects dependencies — drywall won't schedule until the rough-in inspection passes. Crews see their day, travel between sites, and job details on the mobile app, with GPS and time tracking for accurate job costing. Does FieldCamp track warranties, punch lists, and inspections? Yes. At close-out, run the punch list, capture client sign-off, and start the warranty clock. Annual warranty walkthroughs and workmanship callbacks auto-schedule, and inspection status is tracked per phase so an overdue rough-in inspection flags before it blocks the next trade. Is there a mobile app for the field? Yes. Crews and PMs run the whole job from their phone — view the schedule, log phase photos, update job and inspection status, track time and GPS, collect signatures, and trigger the next draw. Office and field stay on the same live record. Get started ## Want the best construction software _built around your projects?_ Fifteen minutes.
