Construction Management Software for Residential Contractors

Which residential contractors use JobOpsPro for projects?

Trade contractors who run both service and project work: HVAC companies handling system replacements and new installs, plumbers doing re-pipes and bathroom rough-ins, electricians doing panel upgrades and remodel wiring, and roofers managing full replacements. JobOpsPro serves 12 home service trades, and companies that operate more than one trade or brand can run them under one login. Owners see project progress next to service revenue, and dispatchers can balance project crews against incoming calls from one board instead of two separate tools.

What do residential contractors need from construction management software?

Residential projects — a system replacement, a remodel, a re-pipe, a panel and wiring upgrade, a new roof — are bigger than a service call but smaller than commercial construction. Enterprise construction suites are built for general contractors with project managers and long bid cycles. A residential trade contractor needs something lighter: a clear list of phases, the plans in one place, materials ordered on time, crews scheduled, and progress invoiced.

JobOpsPro puts project management in the same system as the rest of the business. The estimate that won the job becomes the project. The crews who work it are on the same dispatch board as service techs. The invoices and payments sync to the same QuickBooks Online company.

• Projects built from phases you define, with drag-and-drop ordering
• Phase statuses including on hold and canceled, plus a Gantt timeline
• Plan Room for plan sets with folders, full-screen viewing, measurements, and annotations
• Jobs, estimates, and invoices linked to the project
• Inventory, vendors, warehouses, and purchase orders

How are projects and phases managed in JobOpsPro?

Instead of a comma-separated list of steps, each project is made of phases you build with the phase builder. Phases can be reordered by dragging, assigned statuses, and viewed on a Gantt chart so the office can see what is in progress, what is waiting, and what is blocked. Statuses such as on hold and canceled are preserved when phases are edited.

Jobs can be linked to a project, so every crew visit, inspection, or punch-list trip shows up under the project it belongs to. Cross-links connect projects with their estimates, jobs, phases, and invoices.

Where do plans and drawings live?

The Plan Room stores plan sets and lets you organize them into folders and move sets between folders. Plans open directly in the browser with a native viewer: full-screen mode, measurement tools, and annotations. Crews can check a drawing from the site, and the office does not have to email PDFs back and forth.

Project documents can also be attached and previewed alongside the project, so permits, specs, and photos are in the same place as the schedule.

How do projects start in JobOpsPro?

Projects can start from call intake, when a caller describes larger work, or from an approved estimate. Good, better, best estimates with signature capture or remote approval links help close the work; the accepted estimate then creates the project without retyping it.

How does JobOpsPro handle materials and purchasing?

Projects consume materials. JobOpsPro tracks inventory across warehouses, manages vendors, and creates purchase orders, with threshold reordering for stocked items. Parts used on a job are consumed from stock and recorded against the job, which keeps job costing honest. The price book supports CSV import and export and item photos.

How are crews scheduled and projects invoiced?

Project jobs appear on the dispatch board next to service work, so the dispatcher can see who is on the project and who is free for calls. Technicians use the field workspace to clock time, capture photos, and record parts.

Invoices flow from completed work with your company branding and payment links, and finalized invoices, payments, and refunds sync with QuickBooks Online.

What does JobOpsPro cost for construction management?

$25 per user per month. Projects, Plan Room, purchasing, dispatch, estimates, invoicing, and QuickBooks Online sync are all included. Customers and jobs are unlimited, there is no implementation fee, and there is no annual contract.
