Welcome to Foreman
How Foreman is organized and the fastest way to get your first project running.
Foreman is built on one idea: your projects and contacts are the foundation, and every feature plugs in on top of them.
Where things live
From the sidebar on the left:
- Projects — every budget, record, schedule, and file belongs to a project.
- Contacts — clients, vendors, and subs; one contact can play different roles across projects.
- Records — everything you send: proposals, contracts, change orders, requests, invoices, and vendor orders & bills.
- Schedule, Time, Tasks, Daily Logs, Files — the day-to-day of running a project.
- Catalog — your reusable library of cost items and assemblies.
Get going in three steps
- Set up your company. Add your branding and company info so everything you send looks like you (see the other articles in this section).
- Add a client and create a project. Open Projects and create your first one — it comes with a starter budget.
- Build the budget, then send it. Fill out the budget and turn it into a proposal you can send for signature.
Note
Prefer to describe what you want instead of clicking through it? Foreman's built-in AI Assistant can create projects, budgets, and proposals on your real data — see the AI Assistant section.
