Housecall Pro
Multi-phase projects need more than Housecall Pro's service dispatch.
Housecall Pro does a great job dispatching service teams for HVAC repairs and plumbing calls—quick in, quick out. But construction projects? Those need change order tracking, retainage, progress invoicing, RFI workflows, and safety compliance. Contractor Foreman provides complete project controls, starting at $49/month.

FeaturesWhy customers choose Contractor Foreman
“I have been using Contractor Foreman for over 2 years now, and overall, it is great. It has made my work so much easier in many different ways, including creating Purchase Orders, Change Orders, Daily Reports, logging my employees’ time cards, etc. There are so many useful functions, and every function is very user-friendly.”

Financial tools that protect your margins
Every dollar tracked, from estimate to final payment
Manage change orders, track retainage through closeout, and generate AIA-style progress invoicing when you need it. Housecall Pro handles service invoices just fine, but construction projects need controls that protect your margins across months of work and multiple payment draws.
Schedule projects, not just service calls
Manage work across weeks and months
Use Gantt charts with dependencies to coordinate multi-phase work, manage permits and inspections through completion, and keep daily logs that capture everything from weather to crew activity. Service dispatch tools are great for same-day turnaround, but construction projects need visibility when timelines stretch across weeks, and moving parts multiply.
Documentation that covers you when it counts
Keep records that protect your business
Track RFIs with full response logging, manage submittals for architect and engineer approval, and document safety meetings with 800+ toolbox talk topics in English and Spanish. Quick job notes are great until someone asks what happened three weeks ago—then you need detailed documentation and audit trails.
Where users think Housecall Pro falls short
Housecall Pro’s service dispatch focus, missing construction financial tools, and lack of compliance documentation make it unrealistic for contractors managing multi-phase projects.
Designed for service dispatch workflows
Built for same-day service calls, not extended construction timelines.
No construction financial tools
Missing change orders, retainage tracking, and AIA-style progress billing.
Limited compliance and documentation
No RFIs, submittals, safety compliance tools, or OSHA reporting.
