A Contractor Foreman Alternative for Builders, Not Crews

Contractor Foreman advertises from $49 a month, and that number is real. The financial and job-costing features most builders are shopping for sit on the higher tiers, and the like-for-like plan is $332 a month.

$200/month, 3 seats included, no setup fee. Founding members lock in launch pricing for life.

Contractor Foreman is genuinely broad, and if you self-perform with your own crews their time cards, equipment tracking and safety logs matter. We do not build those, on purpose — our customer subs the work out.

Where BuilderOne is different

One tier, published price, no setup fee

Everything is on at $200/month with 3 seats included and $15 per seat after. No sales call to learn the price, no onboarding fee, no annual contract required.

Permitting on the same system as the money

Request every permit document from the right vendor, with the date sent and the date it came back. Per-vendor turnaround reports tell you who is holding up your permit. Nobody else in this price range tracks pre-construction document flow at all — it lives in a coordinator's spreadsheet.

Construction draws and lender budgets

Lender budget lines reconciled against your own, draw requests built from real progress, inspection status per draw, drawn versus available at a glance. If you build on construction financing, this is normally a separate spreadsheet.

Designer selection sheets that pre-sell the house

Your cost database builds a national-builder-grade selection package with product photos and pricing — the document that lets you sell a home before the slab is poured.

Being straight about it

If you employ field crews and need GPS time cards, equipment logs and safety reporting, Contractor Foreman does things we deliberately do not. We are built for builders who subcontract.

We publish what we haven't built yet on the comparison table — daily logs, punch lists, a client portal and a mobile app are on the roadmap, not shipped. If one of those is the reason you're shopping, we'd rather you know now.
