FeaturesWhy customers choose Contractor Foreman
“The ‘cost items database’ is the most useful tool to me as a solo tile contractor because it is a library of common materials, labor, equipment, and subcontractors I use on almost every job. I’ve built the database myself by adding each material manually, but I am aware that they have created a database that populates automatically, which would be great for larger construction companies or commercial work. Templates for estimates and invoices are a huge time-saver as well when linked to the CID. I bring my laptop and sit with the client and offer an estimate before I leave, and they have an idea what everything will cost, which has increased my win rate significantly.”

Safety that lives inside the system
Meetings, topics, and attendance tracking in one place.
Contractor Foreman includes built-in safety meetings and toolbox talk topics, making it easier to document training, track participation, and maintain compliance without separate spreadsheets or files.
Estimating that protects your margins
Real-time cost access and reusable pricing data.
Contractor Foreman integrates with 1build.com for current material and labor pricing, while the Cost Items Database lets you store and reuse items across estimates, change orders, purchase orders, and invoices. Enter it once and keep your numbers consistent.
Confidence built into the commitment
A 30-day free trial and a 100-day money-back guarantee give you room to implement the platform in real jobs before committing long-term. No rushed decisions. No pressure.
Where users think Buildertrend falls short
When pricing isn’t published, and evaluation options are limited, contractors tend to look elsewhere. Contractor Foreman offers transparent pricing, integrated cost data, and the flexibility to test it in real-world conditions.
Custom quote required for pricing
Doesn’t publish pricing publicly and requires a demo or consultation to receive a custom quote.
No real-time cost data access
Relies on user-entered cost data rather than integrating real-time material and labor pricing sources.
Lack of a trial or money-back guarantee
No advertised self-serve free trial or long-term money-back guarantee for extended evaluation.
