What is construction project management software?
Construction project management software runs the delivery side of a job — RFIs, submittals, change orders, drawings, schedules, meeting minutes, and progress billing — with a document trail tying it together. Unlike a generic task manager, it understands construction: a change order adjusts the schedule of values, an RFI links to a drawing, a daily report feeds the budget.
Field PM is purpose-built for that, and it goes one step further than most: the PM workflows are connected to cost-coded field data, so the project you manage and the job you cost are the same record.
Construction-specific vs generic PM tools
Tools like monday.com and ClickUp are flexible task boards, but they do not know construction — no RFIs, submittals, AIA G702/G703 billing, cost codes, or field productivity. You rebuild those by hand and still rekey field data. Field PM ships those workflows ready and wires them to the cost data your crews log, so nothing is reinvented and nothing is entered twice.
What Field PM manages
- •RFIs — logged, numbered, tied to drawings, tracked to answer
- •Submittals and transmittals with review status
- •Change orders that adjust the schedule of values and budget
- •Drawing management, markups, and current-set control
- •Project scheduling, three-week look-aheads, and manpower loading
- •Meeting minutes, daily reports, and a full document trail
- •AIA G702/G703 progress billing driven by the schedule of values
- •Cross-tenant GC ↔ subcontractor collaboration
- •A live PM Dashboard: budget, productivity, forecast, and margin
Who it is for
Field PM fits project managers and superintendents at self-perform contractors and specialty subs who need real construction PM without an enterprise price tag — and the GCs who collaborate with them. It is multi-trade, covering electrical, mechanical, piping, concrete, civil, and structural work on commercial and industrial projects.

Frequently asked questions
What is construction project management software?+
Construction project management software runs the delivery side of a job: RFIs, submittals, change orders, drawings, schedules, meeting minutes, and progress billing, with a document trail tying it all together. Unlike a generic task manager, it understands construction workflows — a change order that adjusts the schedule of values, an RFI that ties to a drawing, a daily report that feeds the budget.
Is generic project management software like monday.com or ClickUp good for construction?+
They are flexible task boards, but they do not understand construction: no RFIs, submittals, AIA G702/G703 billing, cost codes, or field productivity — you rebuild those by hand and still rekey field data. Field PM is purpose-built for construction, so RFIs, change orders, drawings, schedules, and billing come ready and are tied to the cost-coded field data your crews already log.
Does Field PM connect project management to job costing?+
Yes — that is the core idea. The daily reports your field crews submit feed the budget, productivity, and forecast, and the change orders and RFIs you manage on the PM side adjust the same schedule of values that drives AIA billing. Project management and job costing are one continuous system, not two tools you reconcile.
Can subcontractors and the GC collaborate in it?+
Yes. Field PM supports cross-tenant communication — a GC and a subcontractor can exchange RFIs, change orders, and daily reporting inside the platform. Foremen, QA/QC, safety, and subcontractors are always free, so collaboration does not add per-seat cost.
Does it handle scheduling and drawings?+
Field PM includes project scheduling with three-week look-aheads and manpower loading, plus drawing management and markups, submittals, and transmittals — the delivery documents a construction PM owns, in the same place as the cost and field data.
