Construction Software Development for estimates on site.

We built the estimating app a home-improvement franchise's estimators use at the customer's door. It works fully offline, syncs when the signal comes back, and hands estimates to QuickBooks for invoicing.

How the work flows

From the customer's door to the invoice

The estimating workflow we built for a home-improvement franchise, from the first visit to QuickBooks.

  1. 01

    Step 1 of 6

    At the customer's home

    The estimator creates the customer and the job on the mobile app, on the spot.

    What we built

    A cross-platform mobile app for estimators, built with .NET MAUI.

    Step 3 of 6

    No signal

    Plenty of homes have no coverage, so the app can't need it.

    What we built

    Fully offline, with everything stored on the device.

Tom's Toolbox

Before

The old mobile app and website were outdated, the original developer wouldn't add features, and estimators often work where there's no internet.

What we built

  • Cross-platform mobile app
  • Fully offline, with sync
  • Admin website and reports
  • QuickBooks integration

Every number and quote is from the client's published case study or review.

What gets in the way

Construction Challenges We Solve

We help construction, remodeling, and service businesses overcome field and back-office roadblocks.

  • Disconnected Field Operations

    Manual paperwork and outdated tools create delays and confusion between teams.

  • Complex Estimates & Bids

    Field staff need easy, accurate ways to generate competitive proposals—anywhere.

  • Inefficient Scheduling

    Coordinating jobs, crews, and subcontractors is a challenge without digital tools.

  • Duplicate Data Entry

    Double entry into accounting, CRM, and scheduling wastes valuable time and introduces errors.

  • Inconsistent Customer Experience

    Outdated systems make it hard to deliver fast, reliable service and transparent communication.

  • Slow Invoicing & Payment

    Paper-based invoicing and payment delays hurt cash flow and frustrate customers.

  • Lack of Real-Time Job Status

    Managers and clients lack visibility into job progress, leading to costly miscommunication.

  • Integration with Legacy Systems

    Disconnected legacy tools make it hard to consolidate data, reporting, and insights.

  • Maintaining Franchise Standards

    Ensuring quality and consistency across locations is difficult without unified platforms.
