Why traditional construction software fails small contractors
Per-user pricing punishes growth, generic CRMs ignore how contractors actually run jobs, and the office and the field end up living in different tools.
Per-user pricing punishes growth
Buildertrend, JobTread and AccuLynx charge per user per month. A 20-person contractor pays roughly $15K-$25K a year before add-ons. Hire another foreman, pay another seat fee - forever.
Rigid feature sets, locked roadmaps
Generic CRMs assume lead → proposal → closed-won. Contractors need site visits, line-item estimates, change orders, COI compliance, recurring service plans - all in one app. You shouldn't have to bend your workflow to fit the tool.
Office and field live in different tools
Sales lives in one CRM, accounting in QuickBooks, sub compliance in a spreadsheet, daily logs in WhatsApp. Data scatters; nothing reconciles to actual job profitability.
How can it be this affordable?
AI does the 90% that's the same across every contractor.
We do the 10% that's specific to yours.
That's how a 17-module contractor ERP costs $999 one-time instead of $15K-$25K a year per user.
What's inside Contractor Project Hub Pro

Don't change your process. Build software around it.
Pro ships with the way most contractors run jobs. Anything specific to yours - sub compliance rules, change-order routing, billing rhythm - gets customised after install.
Example workflow: Subcontractor compliance
- 1Input: Sub fills out the onboarding form with COI, W-9, license, bond and ACH.
- 2Automation: Compliance Dashboard re-evaluates; 60-day expiration timers start; missing-docs flag fires.
- 3Handoff: Project manager sees the sub flip from Missing Docs to Compliant and can assign them to active jobs.
Example workflow: Daily log + time entry
- 1Field: Crew lead uploads daily-log photos and a time entry from the phone.
- 2Tagging: Entry tags to the active job; GPS captures where the punch happened.
- 3Office: Time Approvals queue reviews hours; payroll export runs once weekly.
Built for how US small contractors actually run jobs
The Pro template ships with the US-flavor essentials. Anything trade-specific or state-specific is a Custom Contractor App add-on so you don't buy features you don't need.
USD currency throughout
Estimates, POs, invoices, AR - all denominated in USD with US date formats.
W-9, COI, license, bond on every sub
Onboarding form has dedicated sections so subs can't be assigned to active jobs without the right paperwork.
QuickBooks Online sync
Customers, invoices, payments and chart of accounts flow both ways. Set up in Settings > Integrations.
Stripe online card payments
Stripe-connected pay link on every invoice so customers can settle AR online.
GPS-verified crew time
Time entries capture location at punch; Time Approvals review-queue feeds your payroll export.
Recurring service plans + AMC
Plan Templates blueprint your maintenance contracts; Subscriptions tracks the customers on them and the MRR.
AIA G702 / G703 progress billing
Add retention tracking, schedule of values and AIA-format progress invoices in a Custom Contractor App.
Certified payroll (WH-347)
Prevailing-wage and Davis-Bacon reporting, per-tech billable rates and overtime auto-calc as a custom layer.
State-specific lien waiver + contract templates
CA / TX / FL / NY / GA pre-builds for lien waivers and home-improvement contracts as a custom add.
Start from a template. Customise everything.
Three tiers, one philosophy: install the closest fit, then adapt every field, status and automation with the Fuzen AI builder - or have us build the custom layer for you.

3-year cost comparison for a 20-person contractor team. Per-user fees compound; custom dev shops lock you to a vendor; Fuzen Pro is one-time and yours.

Frequently asked questions
Honest answers about what's in the Pro template, what isn't, and how to scope a custom build if you need more.
What is Contractor Project Hub Pro and what's actually in the template?
Contractor Project Hub Pro is a ready-to-install construction ERP template for US small contractors. It ships with 17 sidebar modules covering the entire run-the-business workflow: Dashboard, Leads, Estimates, Customers, Subcontractor Directory, Compliance Dashboard, Schedule and Dispatch, Jobs and Job Costing, Change Orders, Vendors, Purchase Orders, Plan Templates, Subscriptions, Time Approvals, Invoices and AR, Team Management and Settings. QuickBooks and Stripe integrations are wired up in Settings out of the box.
Do I need coding or technical knowledge to install it?
No. Click Install on the marketplace listing, sign in to your Fuzen account, and the template is provisioned to your own contractor instance with all 17 modules and seed data. The whole thing takes about a minute. Customising fields, statuses, automations and pages after install is done by chatting with the Fuzen AI builder - no code required.
How does subcontractor compliance enforcement work? (COI, W-9, license, expirations)
Each subcontractor record carries dedicated sections for COI (insurance certificate), W-9, trade license, bond and ACH bank details. The Compliance Dashboard shows status counts (Compliant / Missing Docs / Expired-Blocked) across all subs and lists everything expiring in the next 60 days. Subs whose COI or license expires can be flagged so they can't be assigned to active jobs until renewed. State-specific lien waiver and contract templates (CA / TX / FL / NY / GA pre-builds) are a Custom Contractor App add-on rather than the Pro template default.
How does the 17-module Pro template differ from the free Contractor Project Hub?
The free template is a simplified starter to let you test the workflow before you commit. Pro is the full 17-module ERP described on this page - compliance dashboard, schedule and dispatch, jobs with budget vs actual, change orders with approval routing, vendors, POs, plan templates and subscriptions, time approvals, AR aging, team roles, and the QuickBooks + Stripe integrations. Both are yours to own and customise after install. Most contractors start free, then upgrade once they need the compliance and financials layers.
Can my field crew use it on a phone? Does it support GPS clock-in?
Yes. Jobs, daily logs, photos, time entries and change orders are all designed to work on a phone in the field. Crew time entries capture GPS so Time Approvals shows where each punch happened before payroll export. Mobile is first-class - office staff and field techs work off the same data, not separate apps.
How does job costing work? Will I see real-time gross margin per job?
Each job has a Budget tab and a Financials tab that aggregate labour, materials, subcontractor costs and change orders against the budget. You see budget vs actual and gross margin per job. A note on honesty: a known calculation bug currently inflates Total Actual Cost on a small subset of jobs and we're shipping a fix - flagged here so you know what you're buying. Job costing absolutely works; the rollup math just needs one patch.
Does it integrate with QuickBooks and Stripe?
Yes - both are wired up in Settings out of the box. QuickBooks syncs customers, invoices, payments and chart of accounts. Stripe handles online card payments on invoices. Other integrations (supplier catalogs, EagleView, Hover, Plaid, e-signature platforms) are Custom Contractor App add-ons rather than the Pro template default.
What's the difference between Contractor Project Hub Pro and a Custom Contractor App?
Pro is the ready-to-install template at $999 one-time. A Custom Contractor App is a fully scoped custom build starting from $5,000 that layers your specific workflow on top of Pro: AIA G702/G703 progress billing, certified payroll (WH-347), state-specific lien waiver and contract templates, lead scoring with weighted pipeline forecast, two-way SMS, assembly library with Good/Better/Best estimate variants, drawing takeoff via EagleView or Hover, trade-specific modes (solar, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, landscaping, GC) and supplier catalog integrations. Pay 10% advance to start, 90% on approval.
Do I own the data and code, or does Fuzen?
You own both. After install, the contractor instance is yours - data, code, configuration. If you ever want to move off Fuzen we hand over the export. No per-user fees, no vendor lock on your customer list, no rent-forever pricing model. One-time license, yours to evolve.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes - install the free Contractor Project Hub template in one click. No credit card, no sales call, no contract. Click around, see how the workflow fits, then upgrade to Pro at $999 when you're ready. If you need something the template doesn't cover, book a 30-minute call and we'll scope a Custom Contractor App for you.
