The problem

General contractors live in a world of estimates scribbled on paper, invoices sent as email attachments, and clients who call every day asking “what’s the status of my project?” The tools that exist — Buildertrend, CoConstruct — are expensive, complex, and built for large operations.

This contractor needed something simpler: a professional way to send estimates, collect payments, share project updates with homeowners, and keep track of their job pipeline — without the overhead of enterprise software.

The solution

We built a custom portal with two interfaces: one for the contractor and one for homeowners. The contractor manages estimates, schedules, invoices, and job photos from an admin dashboard. Homeowners log in to see their project status, approve estimates, view progress photos, and pay invoices online.

The result is fewer phone calls, faster payments, and a level of professionalism that sets the contractor apart from competitors still running on handshakes and paper invoices.
