Control Your Jobs.
Protect Your Margin.
Run Smarter.
ConstructIQ is the operational intelligence system built for growing field-service teams giving you real-time job cost visibility, smarter bids and estimates, field-ready change orders, and an AI operations assistant trained on your business.
Where Construction Profits Actually Disappear
Most contractors don't lose money because they're bad builders. They lose money because they can't see the drift in time.
Labor Drift
Crews run 12–18% over estimated hours. You only find out after payroll hits.
Verbal Change Orders
Small scope additions add up to $8K–$15K/year in unrecovered work.
Blind Bidding
Pricing from memory leaves 5–8% margin on the table compared to data-driven bids.
What ConstructIQ Does
Five modules. One system. Built around how your jobs actually run.
ConstructIQ connects estimating, job cost tracking, change orders, scheduling, and an AI assistant into one workflow, so you can see risk early, protect scope, and keep margin under control as you grow.

Real-Time Job Cost & Margin Dashboard
Know where each job stands, right now.
​
-
Top-level view across jobs: Active Jobs, Total Bid Value, Avg Margin, At Risk
-
Job-by-job health with On Track / At Risk visibility
-
Built-in guardrails like “labor over estimate” warnings and margin impact cues
-
Field actions right on the job: Log Hours + Log Receipt (updates job health in real time)
You don’t find out you missed margin at the end, so you can see drift while you can still fix it.
Smart Estimate & Bid Builder
Stop guessing. Bid using your own historical performance.
​
-
Build estimates with simple inputs: Job type, square footage, location, scope
-
Side-by-side Historical Benchmarks panel:
-
Avg margin
-
Labor / sqft
-
Material / sqft
-
“Comparable jobs” list so you can sanity check your bid
-
-
AI Estimate Draft creates a starting point you can adjust (you still control pricing)
Faster bids, fewer underpriced jobs, and a repeatable pricing baseline
Change Orders & Scope Protection
Document every scope change, protect margin and avoid disputes.
​
-
Clear pipeline view: Pending Approval, Approved, Total Approved Value
-
Change order table shows:
-
Cost impact
-
Timeline impact (+days)
-
Status (Pending / Approved)
-
Action (Review / PDF ready)
-
-
“New Change Order” button makes it easy to log issues as they happen, while you’re still on-site.
If it’s not documented, it’s donated! So we make documentation frictionless.
AI Operations Assistant + Company Knowledge Base
AI trained on your business, without the generic output.
​
-
Purpose-built modes (what users actually click):
-
Proposal Generator
-
Client FAQ Responder
-
Change Order Summarizer
-
-
The “Knowledge Base” is structured and practical:
-
Services Catalog
-
Pricing & Margins
-
Warranty & Terms
-
Proposal Templates
-
FAQ Library
-
Brand Voice Guide
-
-
Sync indicator (“Synced from Notion…”) reinforces it stays current without engineering
Your team gets consistent answers, proposals, and summaries...without reinventing the wheel each time.
Capacity & Scheduling Dashboard
See crew gaps before they cost you weeks.
​
-
Gap Alert banner that calls out projected downtime ahead of time
-
Three high-signal metrics:
-
Active Jobs
-
Pipeline Value (weighted by win probability)
-
90-Day Forecast (confirmed + pipeline)
-
-
Views that match how contractors operate:
-
Timeline
-
Pipeline Kanban
-
Revenue Forecast
-
-
Job timeline shows crew assignments and overlapping schedules (so you can spot overbooking)
Scheduling becomes proactive instead of reactive.
Who's It For ?
Built for owners and operators who want tighter control of margin, schedules, and scope.
ROLES
Owner / Founder (GC or specialty contractor) — wants job profitability visibility without chasing updates
Construction Manager / Project Manager — needs clean job status, change orders, and cost impacts in one place
