SelfConstruct — Construction management & accounting. $299/mo per company.

The daily work

Everything between the handshake
and the final draw

Most construction software makes you bolt a separate accounting system 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 sends your client a proposal under your logo, in your colors. They read it on their phone, tick the options they want and sign it online. The cost and margin behind every section stay with you.

Leads pipeline with follow-up nudges, lead map & email campaigns
Cost, markup and margin on every section, kept in the office and never on the client's page
Client signs online; press Create Project and the signed bid becomes the job, its budget, schedule of values and deposit invoice

Opens in your logo & colors

Your logo leads, on a band of your color. SelfConstruct appears only as a small credit at the foot of the page.

Shown: Quillback Ridge Builders, a fictional builder made up for these pictures.

They tick an option, the total updates

The Alternates section of the same proposal: a heated driveway and front walk at $24,800 included in the contract price, a 12 kW rooftop solar array ticked to add $41,500, a covered rear deck at $36,200 left unticked, and the total moving from a $1,276,600 base contract to $1,318,100

Each alternate shows its price. Ticking one re-prices the contract on the page (here $1,276,600 becomes $1,318,100), and the choice is recorded when they sign.

Signed online, in their own hand

The same proposal after signing: Accepted, signed by Marguerite Vail with the date and time, her drawn signature, and a line saying a copy of the signed proposal stays available at the link

Consent, a one-time code, a typed name and a drawn signature. The signed version is locked as the contract.

In your office

Your numbers stay in the office, and the signed bid becomes the job

Cost, markup & margin — office only

The same bid's internal estimate in the bid builder, marked office only: costs, markup and margin live here and never reach the client. The totals: cost $1,131,216.00, markup 16.5%, sell $1,318,100.00, gross profit $186,884.00 and margin 14.2%, and a bulk markup box where 16% markup is 13.8% margin. On a wide screen, the first five sections - sitework and utilities, foundation, framing and dry-in, roofing, windows and exterior doors - each with its description, its internal note, its kind, cost code, own cost and subcontract cost, and its own markup and margin.

The numbers stay in the office. Under the bid's totals, every section carries its cost code, its own and subcontract cost, and its own markup and margin.The whole bid's cost, markup, sell, gross profit and margin, and a bulk markup you can enter as either markup or margin. The sections become the job's budget, with the original estimate pinned to track against actual. Your costs, markup and margin never reach the client.

Create Project builds the job

In the SelfConstruct office, the same bid after signing: Proposal Accepted, a $1,318,100 contract signed by Marguerite Vail, v1 is the contract and immutable, and Create Project from Accepted Proposal, listing what it will make: the customer and the project, the contract amount, the original estimate pinned at cost $1,131,216, gross profit $186,884 and margin 14.2%, a job budget and schedule of values of 16 cost-coded lines, the three allowances as selections, the selected alternates, 3 files from the lead and a $131,810 deposit invoice visible in the client portal. On a wide screen it also shows the Custom Home full-sequence job template picked, beside the Create Project button.

Locked as the contract. The signed v1 can't be edited; a change becomes a new version, or a change order once the job exists. Create Project opens the job with its budget and schedule of values of 16 cost-coded lines, the client's selections, the lead's files and the deposit invoice.

The deposit, already in their portal The contract card in the client's portal for the same job: contract price $1,318,100, no approved change orders, nothing paid yet, $131,810 due now with its due date and a How to pay link, and a line saying the builder's costs, bids and margins are never shown there

The contract card in the client's portal for the same job: contract price $1,318,100, no approved change orders, nothing paid yet, $131,810 due now with its due date and a How to pay link, and a line saying the builder's costs, bids and margins are never shown there

In their portal, in your color. The contract card already shows the $131,810 deposit due now, with how to pay it, and tells the client that your costs, bids and margins are never shown there.

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.

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 in the formats accountants work from.

Draw invoices generated straight from the SOV — payments tracked to the cent
Snap a receipt; AI reads it and codes it to the job — you check it, then post the bill
P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, WIP, job costing — 24 reports built in

Draw invoicing SelfConstruct invoices — outstanding, invoiced and collected totals with draw history

Accounting, built in

JobFi — full construction accounting, built into SelfConstruct

This is the part most software leaves out: SelfConstruct is the accounting system. Every invoice, bill, and payment posts itself to a real chart of accounts. No sync jobs and nothing entered twice. Payroll runs and tax filings stay with your payroll provider, and an independent construction-CPA review is planned, not finished — the accountants' page spells out both.

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

JobFi — general ledger JobFi, SelfConstruct's built-in accounting: balance cards for checking, receivables, payables and net income; banking, reconciliation, chart of accounts and journal entries; and a Profit and Loss statement run from the ledger

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 sections cited for you to verify
Web-grounded research with sources — snow loads, market $/sf, code questions
Receipt reader codes field purchases to the right job & cost code, ready for you to post

Metered honestly. Every task is metered at its true token cost — a bid check like this one runs about $0.18. A $25/month allowance is included — at that rate, well over a hundred bid checks a month.

Questions

Asked and answered

How long does setup take?

About a day. We provision your private instance and put your logo on it; the in-app Setup Center then takes you through your company details, your books and your team yourself — nothing you have to wait on us for. A live walkthrough for your team is there if you want one. The in-app Training Academy — short narrated walkthroughs on demo data — handles every new hire after that.

I already have years of data somewhere else — what comes across?

Your customer list, vendors, jobs, leads, schedule items, to-dos, open invoices, purchase orders and unpaid bills import from Excel or CSV files you export yourself, and your opening balances are set on a cutover date you pick. Your general ledger history stays in your old books; documents, photos, estimates and time history start here. Nothing is written until you approve the preview, and a reconciliation report afterwards sets the two systems side by side line by line. The page on moving over says exactly what does and does not come across.

Do I still need separate accounting software?

Not for the books. 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 financial statements backed by a double-entry ledger — plus clean exports when they need them. It does not run payroll and does not file sales or use tax, and it has not yet been reviewed by an independent construction CPA. The accountants' page states the limits in full.

Is SelfConstruct in Spanish?

Yes. The office and the client, crew and sub portals are in English and Spanish, and each person picks their language on their own device, so a crew lead can clock in in Spanish while the office works in English. This website has a Spanish version too.

Is it really unlimited users?

Yes. Office logins, crew codes, sub codes, and client portals are all included in the one price, $299 a month per company. 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. What the plan limits is storage, not people: 50 GB of files and records per company is included, and beyond that it is $10 a month for each extra 10 GB.

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-step sign-in (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 like an app — the office, crew, client and sub portals all work full-screen on iOS and Android. The office and crew apps can send push notifications; clients and subs get email. Nothing to download from an app store, nothing to update.

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 months can add credit packs — spent after the allowance, good through the end of that month.
