Construction software from people who close out jobs, not just pitch them.
Estimating, scheduling, RFIs, submittals, change orders, job cost, and certified payroll in one platform. Every module was built to close a real gap on a real project, then kept because it earned its place. Your data exports any time, in standard formats.

Measure off the plan set once.
Quantities come straight off the uploaded sheets and stay linked to the estimate lines that depend on them. Correct a length and every downstream line updates.
Price it the way you'd check it by hand.
Assemblies and regional cost data fill unit rates; your own cost history overrides them the moment it exists. AI-detected quantities carry a confidence score until a person signs off.
A critical path, not a bar chart.
Generate a first draft straight from the estimate's line items, baseline it, and run the same 14-point DCMA health check contracting officers apply.
Know whose desk it's on right now.
Every RFI links to the sheet and spec section it references and shows who owes the answer. Overdue alerts fire before a deadline slips, not after.
Ties out to the GL, for real.
Cost by CSI code with EAC and CTC forecasting, on an append-only, hash-chained ledger where an edit breaks the chain visibly.
The pay app is the same numbers.
The G702/G703 generates from job cost and executed change orders, retainage per line, prior certificates carried forward instead of retyped.
More of the platform, in real screens.
Fifteen more modules people run every day. The complete catalog is on the modules page.

COI and insurance expiration tracked proactively, with real performance history across jobs.

Cost Database
Regional pricing packs across 48 countries, or your own company cost history takes priority automatically.

Contracts Register

Field Photos
Sorts itself chronologically and by location from each photo's own GPS and capture-time metadata.

Mobile Field App
Daily reports, photos, and a GPS-aware time clock that allocates straight to the right cost code.

Just need takeoff and estimating, not the full ERP?
Groundwork Takeoff is a standalone native app for Mac, Windows, and iPad. Its own product, its own price.
Legacy construction ERPs weren't built for a GC who wants control.
Most platforms in this category lock your data behind a proprietary export, charge per module, and treat compliance as an upsell. Groundwork doesn't.
| Groundwork | Legacy ERPs | |
|---|---|---|
| Full data export, anytime | ||
| Certified payroll built in | add-on | |
| Every module on one login | ||
| Published price that scales down |
Watch Groundwork run a real project, start to finish.
Real clicks, real typing, no slides, in 29 chapters you can jump between. It plays on the demonstration page.
See it running a job that looks like yours.
No sales deck first. We load a project of your type and size and walk your team through it live, in the real product.
