For independent contractors & small construction-adjacent teams
Your opportunities and job sites belong on one map.
Inspectors, testing firms, surveyors, installers, specialty repair contractors, and construction site-service providers can use Bids & Estimates to track opportunities or a project mode to coordinate active work.
What independent contractors track on the map
- Every opportunity or project tied to its location — Attach notes, photos, scope, contacts, and documents to the address or field location instead of a disconnected spreadsheet row.
- Stages that match construction work — Use stages such as Site Visit, Estimating, Submitted, Follow-Up, Awarded, Scheduled, In Progress, or Complete.
- Follow-ups that surface themselves — Set a follow-up date on an opportunity. Overdue pins turn red so open estimates and bids do not disappear in a spreadsheet.
- Route planning from the project map — Group site walks, inspections, deliveries, and project visits geographically to reduce unnecessary drive time.
- Mileage tied to project travel — Log routes after driving them and keep a dated record tied to locations and business purpose.
