A CoConstruct alternative for custom builders
FieldsDesk is project management for custom-residential and light-commercial GCs — the office side of every job in one place, with a homeowner portal your clients will actually use.
Built by a working GC for residential & light-commercial builders. Flat Cloud plans from $149/mo · or self-host on Docker.
Bring your history with you: the import wizard reads a CoConstruct CSV or Excel export and loads your vendors, contacts, cost codes, and jobs.
Everything the office side of a job needs
One platform for billing, the field, and your clients — no bolt-ons, no per-seat math.
Billing & pay apps
Application-for-payment and owner billing, drafted for you from the budget and approved change events.
RFIs & submittals
Log, route, and track RFIs and submittals with the ball-in-court and due dates everyone can see.
Daily logs & photos
Field crews capture the day, weather, manpower, and photo albums from the job in seconds.
Schedule & drawings
A working schedule plus drawing sets with on-sheet markup — always the current revision.
Budget & change events
A live budget that moves when a change event is approved — no spreadsheet reconciliation.
Owner / client portal
A clean, read-only portal where homeowners watch progress, selections, and approved changes — never your costs.
Subcontractor portal
Each sub gets a scoped login to their own commitment, RFIs, and pay apps — and nothing else.
Preconstruction
Track pursuits, build estimates, send and level bids, then convert the winner straight into a project.
How FieldsDesk compares to CoConstruct
CoConstruct served custom builders and remodelers and is now part of Buildertrend. If you’re re-evaluating, FieldsDesk is a modern, focused option for the custom-residential GC: flat monthly pricing, a polished owner / client portal for selections and progress, a scoped subcontractor portal, AI-assisted pay applications and owner updates, and cloud or self-host. Built by a builder, for the way custom jobs actually run.
FieldsDesk is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by CoConstruct. CoConstruct is a trademark of its respective owner; it is named here only for comparison.
