FAQ — Switching from CoConstruct

Is CoConstruct better than Field PM for custom homebuilding?+

Yes — for that specific niche. CoConstruct's selections, warranty workflows, and homeowner client portal are stronger if you're building 10-50 custom homes per year and the buyer experience is your differentiator. Field PM would be overkill for that workflow.

What about mid-size GCs who do residential AND light commercial?+

Field PM is the better fit. The daily-report and productivity-tracking features carry over cleanly to light-commercial and TI work, where CoConstruct's residential-specific feature depth would be wasted on you.

Can mechanical, piping, electrical, or structural contractors use Field PM?+

Yes — those are core target customers. Productivity tracking by cost code (with budgeted vs actual hours and quantity installed) is the killer feature for trades that bid on installed quantity rather than fixed-price builds.

How do I migrate from CoConstruct?+

CSV exports for projects, contacts, daily logs, change orders, and cost data are all supported on both sides. Plan an afternoon for the import + a follow-up week to verify numbers and rebuild any custom views.

Does Field PM have a customer portal like CoConstruct's?+

Yes, but lighter. Field PM's customer portal shares daily reports, invoices, RFIs, and service-call status. It's not as feature-rich as CoConstruct's homeowner portal (selections approval, warranty submission, etc.). For commercial customers it's a fine fit; for premium custom-home work, CoConstruct's client experience is more polished.

Is Field PM cheaper than CoConstruct in real-world usage?+

For a 5-10 person office team with 20+ field crew, Field PM is typically 50-70% cheaper. CoConstruct charges per office user. Field PM charges per office user too — but foremen, QAQC, safety, and subs are always free and unlimited.
