Project management

Construction project management, from first call to final photo

One page per project with today’s work up front, and the whole business around it: crew, schedule, subs, materials and money, in one place, with Dex built in.

A project page with its On site list: the crew, subs and an inspector with their sign-in times.

Everything about a project, on one page

Client, address, plans and files, notes, photos, time, costs, change orders and status. The whole crew works from the same page as the office, so nobody is working from last week’s drawing.

  • Plans, permits and photos kept with the project.
  • Change orders approved by the client online.
  • Costs and profit for the project.
  • Tasks and reminders for the team.

Who’s on site, right now

Your crew clocks in from their phones. Subs, inspectors and visitors scan the project’s QR code at the entrance to sign in and out. The project page shows everyone on site today, grouped by company, with their times.

A daily record, from photos

At the end of the day the crew photographs the same spots. Dex compares them with the day before and asks the office when it isn’t sure how far the work got. Months later you have a dated photo record of every project.

The whole business around the project

The money dashboard: profit and margin this month, income and costs by month, invoices and bank balances.

Your company’s software, running on Northdesk

Northdesk is set up around your company: your name and logo on every screen, your colors, a menu with only what you use, and your letterhead on everything clients get. It works in any web browser on a computer, tablet or phone; the desktop, Android and iPhone apps are in testing.

Every company’s records sit behind their own wall, sensitive details are encrypted, and Northdesk staff can’t see your money.

Questions people ask

What is the best construction project management software for small contractors?

One your crew will actually use: simple on a phone, with the schedule, time, photos and money on the same project. Northdesk is built for crews in the field and the office, with an AI assistant that does the busywork.

Does Northdesk work for subcontractors and GCs together?

Yes. Linked companies can connect a shared project, see who’s on site, and chat, while each sees only its own records.

Can clients see the project?

Clients see what you send them: estimates and change orders to approve online, invoices and statements.

Is there a mobile app?

Northdesk works in any phone browser today. The Android and iPhone apps are in testing.
