Software by trade
Construction software for your trade
Northdesk runs the whole business for trade contractors: projects, crew, schedule, leads, estimates, subs, materials and money, with Dex, an AI assistant, built in. Here is what matters most in your trade.
- Concrete contractorsPours that move with the weather, footings measured off the plans, finishers on the right site at 6 AM, and an inspector who signs in before you pour.
- Masonry contractorsBlock, brick, stone and mortar on the right site, the saw and the mixer where they should be, and a crew that speaks two languages on the same page.
- Roofing contractorsAfter a storm the phone doesn’t stop, and every lead wants an answer today.
- Gutter contractorsLots of small jobs, lots of driving, and customers who need you back every year.
- Landscaping contractorsMaintenance routes, patio and wall installs, seasonal crews and a yard full of stone.
- General contractorsSubs to bid, insurance certificates to chase, inspectors to meet, owners to keep happy and a budget to protect.
- Electrical contractorsService calls in the morning, rough-in on a new build in the afternoon, an inspection Thursday, and a van that never has the right breaker.
- Plumbing contractorsA leak at 9 PM, a water heater swap in the morning, rough plumbing on a new build in the afternoon.
- HVAC contractorsThe first hot week of summer brings every lead at once, and the slow months live on tune-ups.
- Siding contractorsEvery siding job opens a wall, and every wall can hide rot.
