Built for your role

Whether you sign the checks, run the jobs, or win the work, WorkHoist was built around your day.

Construction company owner in a site office, arms folded beside a desk of paperwork and a hard hat

You sign the checks

WorkHoist shows you pipeline, margin, and cash flow live, without asking anyone for an update.

You run the jobs

Every job, crew, timeline, and change order on one screen. You stop being the human switchboard.

You win the work

Track every bid, follow up on schedule, and hand won jobs to the field without re-typing a thing.

The duct-tape problem

Six ways your jobscost more than you quoted.

The average contractor loses 10+ hours per week to manual workarounds, disconnected tools, and chasing information across apps. That's not inefficiency. That's payroll you're lighting on fire.

PROBLEM // 01FRAGMENTED TOOLS
Your CRM, project tracker, and accounting don't talk to each other.
Your estimates live in Excel. Your schedule's in one app. Your invoices are in another. Nothing talks to anything else, and every job starts with re-entering the same data.
PROBLEM // 02ZERO VISIBILITY
Nobody has the full picture at any given moment.
You find out a job went over budget after it's already over budget. Real-time margin tracking shouldn't require a forensic accountant.
PROBLEM // 03MANUAL HANDOFFS
Won jobs get re-entered from scratch into project management.
Scope changes communicated by text. Approvals tracked in email. Crew schedules updated by phone call. Every handoff is a chance for something to fall through.
PROBLEM // 04BILLING DISCONNECT
Project work finishes. Invoicing starts from memory.
You finished the work three weeks ago. The invoice still hasn't gone out. Your cash flow gap isn't a revenue problem. It's a billing process problem.
PROBLEM // 05CREWS & GEAR CHAOS
Crews double-booked. Gear lost or sitting idle.
People double-booked. Tools and machines lost or sitting idle. You don't know who's where or what's available until someone calls and asks.
PROBLEM // 06COMPLIANCE BLIND SPOTS
A sub's insurance lapses after they're already on site.
You find out a sub's insurance lapsed after they're already on site. Licenses, certs, and expiry dates live in a folder no one checks until there's a problem.

None of these are software problems. They're the gaps between software.

Built by a contractor

Built From 20 Years of Firsthand Construction Experience.

“I've lost money on jobs I thought were fine. Every one of them, the answer was somewhere in a spreadsheet nobody opened.”

No investors. No exit strategy. No product team who've never been on a job site. I ran construction companies for twenty years, I couldn't buy software that fitted how we worked, so I built it. Every module in here started as a problem I had on a real job.

The platform

Eight modules. One connected system. Zero duct tape.

WorkHoist isn't eight separate tools bolted together. Every module shares the same data, so when a lead becomes a job, everything follows automatically.

Whether you run electrical crews, roofing teams, painting operations, or HVAC installs, WorkHoist replaces the disconnected tools your trade has been stuck with.

PIPELINE & ESTIMATING

Sales Pipeline, Estimating & Proposals

Track every lead, bid, and follow-up from first contact to signed contract. Build estimates from templates, track draft → sent → won with win/loss analytics, and know exactly where every opportunity stands.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Project management & scheduling

Won jobs flow straight into delivery: scope, timeline, milestones, tasks. No re-entry. No forwarded emails. No dropped balls.

WORK PLAN & CAPACITY

Work Plan & Crew Capacity

Company-wide calendar showing who's free, who's at capacity, across every active job. Assign and staff by project. No double-booking, no phone-tag scheduling.

EQUIPMENT & ASSETS

Equipment & Assets

Check tools, machines, and vehicles in and out by job. Track maintenance, parts, photos, and location. Nothing lost, nothing sitting idle.

FINANCIALS

End-to-End Job Financials & Live P&L

Budget, change orders, POs, expenses, SOV billing, and AR. Every dollar tied to the job. Live profit per job in real time, not a month-end surprise.

SUBCONTRACTOR COMPLIANCE

Subcontractor Compliance

Registry with insurance and license documents on file for every sub. Expiring-doc alerts fire before they ever set foot on site.

TEAM MESSAGING & EMAIL

Team Messaging & Email Hub

In-app channels and DMs for your team, plus every project email organized by job and deal. Add project documents straight from an active directory into the email builder. No downloading files to re-attach them.

CLIENT & CONTRACTOR PORTALS

Client & Contractor Portals

A secure, restricted project view for clients and contractors. Field task requests, document sharing, and status visibility, without giving access to your full system.

Inside the app

What your crew sees every day.

WorkHoist Dashboard: company-wide tiles for active pipeline, revenue won this year, active projects and win rate, above an active project health strip and a revenue chart.
WorkHoist My Work: a team member portal showing open, due-this-week and overdue task counts, hours logged against weekly capacity, and assigned tasks grouped by project.
WorkHoist Work Plan: a company-wide capacity calendar with a row per team member, booked hours against capacity, and colour-coded task bars laid out across the schedule.
WorkHoist Emails: a project inbox with the message list on the left and the selected email open on the right, including a control to link the thread to a project.
WorkHoist Pipeline: a kanban board of leads by stage — New Lead, Site Visit Scheduled, Estimating, Bid Submitted — each card showing deal value, contact and days in stage.
WorkHoist Accounts: the subcontractor registry listing each company's trade, contact, insurance and workers' comp expiry dates, rating and status, with expired compliance flagged in red.
WorkHoist Projects: a board of active jobs, each card showing project type, current phase with percent complete, contract value, target end date, assigned PM and overdue task count.
WorkHoist Equipment: the asset inventory with a detail dialog for a CAT 320 excavator showing category, serial number, condition, checked-out status, job site location, purchase date and cost.
WorkHoist Financials: company financials overview with active project value, total billed, collected, outstanding and forecast gross margin, above a proposals pipeline and margin-by-project chart.
Connects to your stack

Your inbox, built into the job.
Every email tied to the work it belongs to.

WorkHoist connects to Gmail or Outlook out of the box. Once connected, every email can be linked to a project, so client and subcontractor threads live on the job instead of scattered across inboxes.

  • Connect Gmail or Outlook directly, no middleware
  • Link any email to a project as you write it
  • Attach project documents straight from the job, no downloading first
  • Or upload from your own computer, the way you always have

Beyond email, any system with an API can be connected as part of your setup: QuickBooks, Sage, and others. Setup runs alongside you; a subscription is live from day one.

The WorkHoist Compose Email window: From and To fields, a Link dropdown set to "No project link" for tying the message to a project, a signature block, and Attach and Attach from Project buttons along the bottom.

Ask Bob

Ask your business a question, and get the answer from your native AI agent Bob

Bob is built into WorkHoist, reads your live data and answers in plain English: margins, schedules, overdue tasks, expiring sub docs. Role-aware and strictly read-only: a PM sees their jobs, Finance sees the numbers, the field sees their tasks, and it never changes a thing.

Which subs have expired insurance?What's my margin on Atlas?Who's over capacity this week?
Bob, the WorkHoist AI agent, giving a profit and loss summary across three active projects with contract values, costs and gross margin, linking through to each project
AI will keep evolving

WorkHoist evolves with it.

WorkHoist connects to ChatGPT and Claude via its MCP, so the information your team already creates can become real work inside WorkHoist.

Receipt photos sent to an AI assistant, appearing as coded cost lines on a WorkHoist project budgetSite notes and a client email handed to an AI assistant, coming back as a priced draft estimate in WorkHoist

Receipts become job costs.

Photograph them. Tell your AI the project. WorkHoist turns them into coded cost lines against the right job and budget.

No retyping. No missing receipts. No end-of-day admin.

Site notes become estimates.

Give your AI the notes, voice memo or client email. WorkHoist turns them into a structured draft estimate ready to review.

You check the work instead of starting it.

Your numbers become a board report.

Ask for a P&L by project, budget against actual, or where cash lands next month. Your AI reads the live figures out of WorkHoist and writes it up.

No exporting to a spreadsheet first.

Overdue invoices become a call list.

Ask who owes you and how long it’s been. Your AI reads the AR aging and hands you the three calls worth making today.

Chasing stops being a memory exercise.

Finding a sub becomes one question.

Ask who you’ve got for a trade, who’s still active, and how you rated them last time. Your AI reads the registry and gives you the shortlist.

No scrolling a spreadsheet of names.

Change orders become margin answers.

Ask what changed on a job and what it did to the margin. Your AI reads the change orders against the budget.

The scope crept. Now you can see it.

Timesheets become payroll answers.

Ask who logged what, against which job, this week. Your AI reads the time entries and gives you the breakdown.

No chasing crew for hours.

On a subscription, right away. Sign up and you are in the same day, building your pipeline, crew and first jobs immediately.
WorkHoist was designed by a general contractor who knows field crews don't have time for complicated software. The interface is built for people who'd rather be on a job site than behind a screen. Most teams are running real jobs in WorkHoist within their first two weeks using it, not watching training videos.
That depends which path you take. On a subscription you are operational immediately, there is no setup period. On Total Ownership, where we build and migrate for you, most teams are fully operational in about six weeks: we handle the configuration, connect your accounting system, and migrate your active job data. Your current jobs keep running either way, with no downtime.
Yes. We migrate pipeline, project, and contact data from spreadsheets, CRMs, and other PM tools. We handle the heavy lifting as part of your setup, while you are already working in the platform.
Yes. You are live from day one either way, and we connect WorkHoist to QuickBooks or Sage as part of your setup, which runs alongside you rather than before you start. Job financials flow through without double entry or reconciliation headaches. Your accountant keeps working in the system they already know.
No per-user fees. Flat-rate plans from $399/mo with a 14-day free trial, or own it outright with unlimited users. Starter is $399/mo for up to 20 users, Growth is $999/mo for 20–75 users, and Enterprise is custom for 75+. Subscriptions carry no setup fee. Total Ownership is a one-time build, priced on scope.
No. You start using WorkHoist straight away, and we connect the tools you already use, including QuickBooks, Sage, email and file storage, as your setup progresses alongside you, so you can adopt modules at your own pace. Most teams start with pipeline + jobs and layer in financials and contractor management after.
WorkHoist runs on enterprise-grade infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest and role-based access controls.
Your data is yours. If you ever leave, we provide a complete export of all your job data, documents, and financial records. No lock-in, no hostage situations.
WorkHoist works for general contractors, electrical contractors, roofing companies, painters, HVAC teams, plumbers, and any trade that needs to manage jobs, crews, and money in one place. If you send crews to job sites and invoice for the work, WorkHoist fits.
MCP is an open standard — created by Anthropic, adopted by OpenAI in March 2025, now governed by the Linux Foundation. In practice you paste one URL into Claude or ChatGPT's connector settings and your AI can work with your WorkHoist data. It takes about a minute and no code. It works with Claude on desktop and web, Claude Code, Cowork, ChatGPT, and any other MCP client.
