Why General Contractors choose Foreman

One platform, from first bid to final payment

A general contractor lives or dies on coordination: a dozen subs, one schedule, and a margin that erodes one change order at a time. Foreman ties every commitment and every bill back to the budget line it belongs to.

Win the work

Build a budget, turn it into a branded proposal, and get it signed online — without retyping a number or paying for a separate e-sign tool.

Get paid, stay in sync

Invoice clients and track vendor bills in one place, with QuickBooks syncing both directions automatically — no double entry.

Keep projects on track

A live schedule with the critical path shows what is at risk, and the AI assistant watches every project so nothing slips.

Estimating

Build a general contractor estimate around every trade

Break the project budget into trade packages, compare labor and material costs, and set your margin before sending a proposal. Keep each subcontractor commitment tied to the scope it covers.
