Run the office.
Get paid.
AI estimates, scheduling, GPS time tracking, daily logs, RFIs and permits, change orders, a client portal, invoices with 0% platform fee, and a free business page that captures leads. The deposit invoice goes out the moment your customer approves, and reminders by text and email chase the rest.
From quote to cash,
without the phone calls
Send it, they tap it, the deposit lands, reminders handle the rest. You keep every dollar minus Stripe.
Send the estimate
AI drafts it from a description or a photo, you set the price, it goes out by text and email.
Customer approves

Deposit invoice, pay link
The moment they approve, the deposit invoice is created and the pay link sent. Card or ACH, straight to your bank.
Reminders until paid
Text and email reminders before and after the due date on every open invoice, late fees on your terms. You never chase a check again.

Six reasons founding contractors
pick FieldsHub
Built by people who know the trade. Here's what actually makes us different.
Keep more of every payment
FieldsHub takes no cut of your invoices — only standard Stripe processing applies. Some platforms add their own fee on top of card processing — check the payments page of any tool you compare (see comparisons).
AI handles the busy work
Draft estimates, scan receipts, price change orders — and keep the final say on every number.
Works in the field
Crews clock in, log photos and update tasks with no signal. Syncs when they're back.
Homeowners approve in two taps
Magic-link portal — homeowners approve estimates, see photos and pay in two taps.
One app, all of it
Estimates, invoices, time, RFIs, permits, equipment, safety, portal — together.
Modern UX, zero training
Built in 2026 — fast, clean, intuitive. No week-long training videos.
We're not the biggest.
We're built better.
Lower fees, modern UX and an honest all-in-one feature set.

Do you charge per-lead or transaction fees?
No per-lead fees — your business page captures inquiries for free. On payments, FieldsHub adds no platform fee — only standard Stripe processing applies.
How do I get paid faster with FieldsHub?
Send the estimate by text and email; the customer approves with one tap, no signup. The moment they approve, FieldsHub creates the deposit invoice and sends the pay link, so they can pay by card or ACH on the same screen. Every open invoice then gets automatic reminders by text and email, before and after the due date, and late fees on your terms. FieldsHub keeps 0% of the payment.
What is FieldsHub?
An all-in-one construction management platform for contractors — invoicing with online payments at 0% platform fee, deposit invoices on approval, automatic reminders, AI estimates, GPS time tracking, project management, RFIs, permits, a client portal and your own lead-capturing business page, in one app.
Is there a free trial? Do I need a card?
Yes — every plan starts with a 15-day free trial, and no credit card is required to sign up. Add one before the trial ends to keep going.
How much does it cost?
Plans run $39–$299/month. 1 user included on Basic; add teammates at $5–10/user/month. See the pricing section above for what’s included at each tier.
How does the AI estimate wizard work?
Describe the job in plain English (or upload a photo) and it generates a detailed, line-itemized estimate in seconds using trade-standard cost data. Edit anything before you send it.
What happens if I run out of AI credits?
Each plan includes a monthly pool of AI credits (1 credit = 1 AI action). If you need more, upgrade your plan or buy a credit pack anytime — nothing breaks.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes — install the FieldsHub web app on iPhone or Android for an app-style experience (home-screen icon, offline-capable clock-in, tasks and photos), plus the full web app for the office. Native App Store and Google Play apps are in beta. The consumer customer app is coming soon.
Can homeowners see project updates?
Yes — on the Pro and Business plans every project has a magic-link client portal (no signup) where homeowners view progress and photos, approve estimates and change orders, and pay invoices online. On Starter, customers approve estimates and pay invoices from the email or text link; on Basic they pay from the link.
Can I switch from Buildertrend or CoConstruct (now part of Buildertrend)?
Yes. We support importing customers, projects and historical estimates via CSV. Email support@fieldshub.com and we’ll help you migrate.
Can I add users, switch plans, or cancel?
All anytime. Add users at your plan’s per-seat rate, upgrade or downgrade instantly, and cancel whenever — no long-term contract.
Is my data secure?
Yes — TLS 1.2+ in transit, encrypted at rest, with regular backups and role-based access control.
What is the best construction management software for small contractors?
FieldsHub is built specifically for independent contractors, remodelers, and small-to-midsize crews who want one affordable, modern app for estimates, invoicing, online payments, scheduling, and a free lead-capturing business page. Plans start at $39/month. Larger enterprise or commercial builders with complex needs may prefer Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud. We compare nine tools, including ours, at fieldshub.com/compare/construction-management-software-small-contractors.
Is there construction software with no per-lead fees?
Yes. FieldsHub gives every contractor a free, SEO-ready business page that captures customer inquiries at no per-lead cost — unlike lead marketplaces, where a single shared lead is commonly reported at $15–85. You only pay for the software tools (from $39/month), never for the leads themselves.
What is a good affordable alternative to Buildertrend or Procore?
FieldsHub is a modern, lower-cost all-in-one alternative aimed at small-to-midsize contractors: plans from $39/month (vs Buildertrend, where third-party estimates put the entry tier at ~$339–499/month — see our comparison pages for sources), no platform fee on payments (just standard Stripe processing), AI-powered estimates, and a free business page. It covers estimates, invoicing, payments, GPS time tracking, RFIs, permits, and a client portal in a single app.
Which trades is FieldsHub built for?
FieldsHub works for general contractors, remodelers, and electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, concrete, and landscaping companies. The core tools (projects, estimates, invoicing, time tracking, client portal) are trade-agnostic, and the AI estimator adapts its line items, materials, and permits to your specific trade.
