Built by a builder, for builders

Your whole construction company.
One system. Flat pricing.

Bids that win work, schedules that hold, client portals that end the phone tag, invoicing tied to real double-entry books, and an AI office that drafts the paperwork — running on your own private instance, not a seat in someone else's cloud.

The daily work

Everything between the handshake
and the final draw

Most construction software makes you bolt QuickBooks onto one end and a lead service onto the other. SelfConstruct is the whole office — sales to settlement — so a number entered once flows everywhere it should.

Sales & Bids

Bids that read like you walked the site

A kanban pipeline from first call to signed contract — and a bid builder that produces the kind of proposal clients forward to their bank: scope narratives, unit-basis sanity checks, phase schedules, and one-tap e-signature.

  • Leads pipeline with follow-up nudges, lead map & email campaigns
  • Narrative bid sheets with quantities, unit pricing & internal cost/markup view
  • Client signs online — the job, budget & schedule of values create themselves
Client-facing bid — real outputA SelfConstruct client-facing bid: scope of work, narrative bid sheet, unit basis
Project Management

Schedules that survive contact with reality

Gantt and calendar views with dependencies, baselines, and client-visible milestones. Daily logs, to-dos, change orders, selections, RFIs, submittals, warranty — every moving part of the build, tracked where the crew already is.

  • Drag a bar, and dependent work re-chains — with the original baseline kept honest
  • Daily logs & photos from the field, shareable to the client in one tap
  • Change orders priced, sent, signed and folded into the contract total
Gantt scheduleSelfConstruct Gantt schedule across two jobs
Money — all of it

From takeoff to trial balance, no exports

Estimates, budgets, POs, vendor bills, draw invoices against a schedule of values, lien waivers — landing in a full double-entry general ledger with banking import, reconciliation, and financial statements your CPA will actually accept.

  • Draw invoices generated straight from the SOV — payments tracked to the cent
  • Snap a receipt; AI reads it, codes it to the job, and posts the bill
  • P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, WIP, job costing — 21 reports built in
Draw invoicingSelfConstruct invoices — outstanding, invoiced and collected totals with draw history
Real books, built in

Cancel the accounting software

This is the part nobody else does: SelfConstruct is the accounting system. Every invoice, bill, and payment auto-journalizes to a real chart of accounts. No sync jobs, no double entry, no $90/month on the side.

  • Double-entry GL with a builder's chart of accounts out of the box
  • Bank import with AI categorization & month-end reconciliation
  • Accountant package at tax time — statements, trial balance, 1099 report
21 built-in reportsSelfConstruct reports list — P&L, balance sheet, trial balance, WIP, job costing
The AI office

Paperwork in, decisions out

Hand it a plan set, a county letter, or a bid — it reads your documents, checks your own cost history, and hands back a finished deliverable. Not a chatbot bolted on: an office assistant wired into your jobs, bids, and books.

It caught $6,800 before the signature

In the demo company, the AI compared a $910,000 bid against the builder's own cost history and flagged an electrical section priced for a 200A build — while the scope promised a 400A upgrade. That's the kind of miss that eats a margin.

  • Draft a sectioned, priced bid straight from an uploaded plan set
  • Answer plan-review letters with the code actually checked
  • Web-grounded research with sources — snow loads, market $/sf, code questions
  • Receipt reader posts field purchases to the right job & cost code
Metered honestly. Every task shows its true token cost — the bid-check above ran about $0.18. A $25/month allowance is included; most companies never touch the ceiling.

Software that finds your next client

Every other platform manages the work you already sold. SelfConstruct also hunts: it scans your county's public parcel records daily, spots land changing hands, scores each new owner as a prospect, and preps the mailer.

Land Prospecting

New landowners, scored and ready to mail

Someone who just bought a vacant lot in your county is the best construction lead that exists — and they haven't called anyone yet. Pick your county once; the scan runs every day from then on.

  • Daily ownership diff across tens of thousands of parcels
  • Leads scored by acreage, vacancy, out-of-state buyer & more
  • Letter template, mail tracking & follow-up reminders built in
  • Works from public county GIS records — your first 10 leads are included

Not a seat. A system.

Your own private instance,
branded as your company

Big-SaaS platforms rent you seats in a shared cloud. SelfConstruct provisions a complete, isolated system for each company — your database, your subdomain, your logo on everything a client ever sees.

🔒

Single-tenant by design

Your company runs in its own instance with its own database. No shared tables, no cross-tenant anything. Your numbers live alone.

🎨

White-labeled to you

yourcompany.selfconstruct.app — your logo and name on every bid, invoice, portal and email your clients touch. SelfConstruct stays in the background.

📦

Leave with everything

If you ever go, you get your complete database and files handed over. Your project history is a company asset, not a hostage.

🔒 Backups sealed — even our servers can't read them 📱 Two-factor authentication 🔐 HTTPS-only, salted & hashed credentials 💳 Card numbers never stored Read the security overview →
The honest table

How it stacks up

The incumbents are good at what they do — we built SelfConstruct for what they don't: one flat price, real books, your own instance, and software that finds work instead of just managing it.

Pricing

Every tier gets everything. Unlimited users, always.

No per-seat math, no "percent of construction volume," no call-us pricing. Tiers differ only in included AI, land leads, and how much of our time you get — never in features or user counts.

Questions

Asked and answered

How long does setup take?
About a day. We provision your private instance, put your logo and company details on it, and walk your team through it live. The in-app Training Academy — short narrated walkthroughs on demo data — handles every new hire after that.
Do I still need QuickBooks?
No — that's the point. SelfConstruct includes a full double-entry general ledger: chart of accounts, bank import, reconciliation, P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, trial balance, and an accountant package for tax time. Your CPA gets real statements, not exports.
Is it really unlimited users at every tier?
Yes. Office logins, crew codes, sub codes, and client portals are all included. Every tier includes unlimited users — tiers differ in included AI, land leads and support, never in seats or features. We price per company because that's how a construction company actually works — the last thing you need is a toll booth on adding your framer.
Who can see my data?
Your company runs in its own isolated instance with its own database — there is no shared multi-tenant store. Your clients see only their job through their portal code; crews and subs see only what you grant. Offsite backups are sealed with public-key encryption, and two-factor authentication is available on office logins. The full plain-language rundown is on our security page.
What happens if I cancel?
You get your complete database and uploaded files handed to you, and we delete the instance. Month to month, no annual contract, no exit fee. Your history is yours.
Is there a mobile app?
SelfConstruct installs to any phone's home screen as a progressive web app — the office, crew, client and sub portals all work full-screen on iOS and Android with push notifications. Nothing to download from an app store, nothing to update.
Does Land Prospecting work in my county?
It works anywhere your county publishes parcel ownership through a public GIS service — that's most of the US (3,000+ counties in our picker). You pick your state and county once; we verify the data source live during setup, and the daily scan takes it from there.
What does the AI actually cost me?
Your plan includes $25/month of AI usage metered at true provider cost — no markup games inside the allowance. A typical bid-vs-cost-history check runs about $0.18; a drafted county-letter reply, around a dollar. Heavy users can add credit packs that roll over.
