Combines everything into one software. CRM, Estimating, Project Management, Job Costing all in one. We prefer to train people on one software rather than several. When everyone is using the same program it's easier for team collaboration. It also eliminates the excuse the I …

monday.com was limited and I noticed myself integrating other programs rather than just using monday.com I used Zoho at a sales company and it was fine for that. One of my friends uses Zoho for HVAC and I liked the Contractor Foreman interface better.

Based on the on my previous experience Contractor Foreman rates right along side the other cost saving systems I have used. It does not compare well to the higher end systems based on everything else that the more expensive systems can do. I think it is right in line with the …

Contractor Foreman offered the most services for the best price. Lots of the other software options I have looked into were missing features such as a mobile app or accounting integrations and some were extremely expensive wanting a percentage of overall revenue.
Chose Contractor Foreman
Contractor Foreman: Much more affordable, making it a better fit for small to mid-sized contractors.
Procore: High cost, often requiring enterprise-level budgets, making it overkill for our 33-person company.

It all comes down to the number of features that Contractor Foreman packs into their software for the price they charge. I think it stacks up against Procore but for a small fraction of the cost. They offer more features geared to the commercial GC then other software …

Contractor Foreman
Contractor Foreman has been a great tool for managing a variety of projects, from home remodels to large-scale builds. It works especially well for keeping everything organized in one place, whether it’s estimates, schedules, or job costs.
One scenario where it’s been really useful is in managing multiple jobs at once. With several remodels and new construction projects happening at the same time, having a centralized system to track progress, store documents, and communicate with subcontractors has helped keep everything on schedule. It’s also great for estimating—being able to quickly generate and send professional proposals has made bidding much more efficient.
It’s especially well-suited for projects that require a lot of moving parts, like tracking permits and compliance documents. For larger jobs, like school construction, it helps ensure that all approvals, budgets, and schedules stay on track without getting lost in a mess of paperwork.
Where it’s less ideal is for smaller, one-off jobs where a full project management system might be overkill. If it’s just a quick repair or a simple remodel, sometimes it’s easier to just handle things manually. The mobile app could also be a bit more intuitive for on-site use, especially for field updates and quick changes.
Overall, it’s a strong tool for contractors managing multiple projects, budgets, and teams. It keeps things organized and saves time, especially on jobs that require detailed tracking and coordination.

Pros
Contractor Foreman

  • The ability to have your project flow through the modules makes it a breeze to use.
  • Being able to track time as well is a key feature.

Cons
Contractor Foreman
  • Security and sensitive file visibility. Users with no permissions can have access to some hidden files.
  • Daily log navigation. Users now need to exit one log entirely to view or check another, resulting in a significant waste of time and reduced efficiency.
  • Customization options for reports. No options to set up and automatically send reports by email to specified users.

Broken promises for 3 years. I'm done waiting for basic improvements to bring the app into anything close to an industry standard

Usability
Contractor Foreman
Overall, Contractor Foreman is a great product, and I’m sure we’ve only scratched the surface of everything it has to offer. It can be a little quirky at times, occasionally displaying a 'Bad Gateway' message, but we haven’t experienced any timeout issues in the past few months. As we continue to use it, I’m confident we’ll uncover even more ways to streamline our workflow

Performance

Many times we had issues that turned out to be errors and bugs. At first, we would be told forcefully that there were no bugs, then we would document them, and we would get an acknowledgement but no apology for essentially either gaslighting us or being ignorant of their system

Contractor Foreman
Absolutely top notch! They were always there to help and immediately. Very happy with the communication they provided and the knowledge they had of their product. I would venture to say that they are one of the best in terms of support in their space.

There's just no comparing these two. I'm actually going to suggest we keep CE to my boss, and here's why: Clearestimates is perfect for what I just described. You have a little job that you just BOOM it's done? Put it into Clearestimates. That system does not care at all if you did it "properly." Now Contractor Foreman does so. much. more. than CE. It just does. You can do everything on CF (just not anything haha). Most businesses wouldn't need anything else, but since we're still growing, we do some handyman stuff every now and again that CE is perfect for, and we don't have to go through CF's really picky system to make sure every little tiny thing is correct

Return on Investment
Contractor Foreman
  • Positive return for invoice/change order tracking
  • Great price
  • Prior to using Contractor Foreman we had to wait until the end to capture all change orders in one summary. Now, with the client portal, we can capture in real time and the client has visibility.
  • We have been trying to reduce administration time in tracking field expenses and with Contractor Foreman our field crew can uplaod reciepts and track expenses right from their mobile phones.
  • Punchlist - the punch list and To Do features are so robust we have drastically improved getting punchlists and small tasks completed in single trips without the wasted time and travel of multiple trips due to missed/forgotten items.
