Construction professionals are almost always on the move, heading to the office, construction sites, client locations, or material vendors. This makes it difficult for them to track and manage their business or building projects.  

While thousands of tech stacks help with project management, these professionals are rarely at a stable location to make the most of those tools.   

Thankfully, mobile apps allow contractors and other construction experts to monitor projects and take action on the go. We’ve classified these into three categories:

  • Construction project management apps: Enable contractors to plan projects and keep things running smoothly.

  • Construction calculator apps: Simplify complex construction calculations, measurements, or conversions. 

  • Utility construction apps: Perform simple tasks that enable technicians or handymen to provide a good service experience.

Now, let’s dive into the different construction management software tools and reveal how they can help streamline your workflow.

Construction Project Management Apps

Construction management apps allow project managers to coordinate different sites, assign responsibilities, document progress, and track everything on the go. Here are the best construction project management apps on the market:  

  • ServiceTitan Mobile

  • Procore

  • Fieldwire

  • PlanGrid

  • Buildertrend

  • ServiceTitan Invoice Generator

1. ServiceTitan Mobile

ServiceTitan Mobile is an intuitive app that provides contractors and managers with a clear overview of scheduled projects. Jobs are displayed as cards, and essential information such as project details, client name, site location, and everything else needed to deliver excellent service is provided.

Compatible with both iOS and Android devices, ServiceTitan Mobile simplifies project tracking from anywhere. Instead of relying on lengthy back-and-forth calls between the construction manager and field workers, both parties can check the app to stay updated on expectations and responsibilities.

To be more specific, here are the benefits of using this app: 

Helps field techs reach the site fully informed

ServiceTitan Mobile is a valuable tool for field workers. It equips them with the details they need before arriving on site. The app gives them access to customer information gathered during the onboarding call, such as client name, address, contact information, and specific complaints.

This ensures specialty contractors can offer personalized service, as they know the client’s concerns in advance. Furthermore, clients can monitor the professionals assigned to their projects, boosting transparency and trust with the construction company. 

Know every job history in detail

This app gives construction experts a peek into the company’s work history with a client. It shows them the services offered, specific notes, equipment purchased, previous invoices, and even voice memos.

With this information, field techs can predict clients’ needs, upsell applicable offers, such as electrical inspection or custom landscaping, and provide more personalized service. 

Never worry about missing paperwork

The ServiceTitan Mobile app also provides an alternative for documentation such as warranties, maintenance forms, and pre-appointment customer experience checklists. 

It streamlines all the paperwork in a project to a centralized location, so there are no delays or missing documents. This makes it easy for technicians or contractors to confirm every legal document before work begins.

Quickly and easily create estimates

With this construction app, you can build estimates and create proposals that are updated across the board from a single location. In other words, field workers have unified product prices and can provide clients with accurate information.

Spot opportunities with ease

The ServiceTitan Mobile app allows contractors to review the client’s service history and property information. It gives field workers detailed project data on what’s available or not so they identify opportunities to upsell clients. 

Offer a seamless checkout experience

This app caters to construction services and customers as well. It provides an intuitive, user-friendly shopping interface that allows customers to select and pay for a preferred service. The experience is quite similar to shopping on Amazon—scroll through to find a service and pay for it using a preferred payment option. There are no long sales pitches from customer representatives—clients are in charge. 

Close more sales in the field

ServiceTitan Mobile offers users multiple payment options. Contractors can collect cash, cheques, credit cards, or online payments. 

Field workers can use the cameras on their mobile devices to capture checks and credit card payments. This makes it easy for construction companies to collect payments consistently.

On the other hand, clients can use the app to monitor the project’s progress. They can submit warranty claims, view invoices and make payments, view construction photos or videos, and message managers.

How to Choose The Best Construction Apps for Your Needs

Construction apps should help streamline your operations. However, you may not need all the tools we’ve listed. Here’s how to select apps that align with your needs: 

  • Identify pain points: You need to ensure the mobile app is relevant to the team's challenge. For instance, if you can’t tell when a technician has started or completed a task, you'll need a construction project management app. This mobile tool helps you schedule tasks and track progress. Choosing an app this way ensures it solves a need. 

  • Examine features: After identifying an app that meets the team’s challenge, confirm its key features are relevant. For instance, if it’s a project management app, does it allow you to share files and keep teammates in the loop?

  • Check compatibility: Ensure the apps are compatible with the team’s devices. If everyone uses Apple devices, check if the software has an iOS option.

  • Evaluate scalability: Can the app grow with your team? Can it handle enterprise-type projects? Confirm that the tool has features that support scaling.

  • Ascertain ease of use: The app you select should be intuitive and easy for non-tech-savvy users to navigate. Read reviews online to see what other users think of it.
