Construction Management Software
Werx is affordable construction management software for contractors who want to bill faster and protect margins. Run estimates, AIA-style and progress billing, job costing, change orders, and RFIs. Then sync it all to QuickBooks.

Stop the busywork
Run construction projects without the spreadsheets
Commercial projects bill on a schedule of values with retainage, while changes and costs pile up. When that lives in spreadsheets, margin leaks and cash comes in slow.
- Build pay apps in Excel
- Track changes on email
- Job costs after the fact
- Books out of sync
- G702 and G703 style pay apps built for you
- Change orders tracked
- Job costs in real time
- QuickBooks in sync
Werx gets contractors out of spreadsheets. Estimate, bill AIA and progress, track changes and job costs, and get paid in one app.
The money side of a construction business for $49 a month
Construction billing and job costing platforms publish entry prices from $149 to $599 a month, with per-user fees up to $20 and features like job costing often gated to higher tiers (as of July 2026). Werx takes the opposite approach: flat plans from $49 a month, every feature on every plan, and users are $6.
For a construction company, that is less than one billable labor hour a month to run the entire office side. See pricing for the full breakdown, or compare Werx to the platforms you are looking at.
- Every feature on every plan, from day one
- AIA-style billing, estimates, change orders, and job costing included
- Users are $6 a month, time-only users $4, no caps
- No contracts, 14-day free trial, no credit card

AIA billingRetainage you forget to chase

How a commercial construction job bills in Werx
Take a $680,000 ground-up job on a small commercial building. The contract bills monthly by percent complete on a schedule of values, with 10 percent retainage until acceptance. Partway through, the SOV in Werx might stand like this:
| SOV line | Scheduled value | % complete | Earned to date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site preparation | $60,000 | 100% | $60,000 |
| Foundations | $120,000 | 90% | $108,000 |
| Shell and structure | $210,000 | 55% | $115,500 |
| Interior build-out | $200,000 | 15% | $30,000 |
| Finishes and closeout | $90,000 | 0% | $0 |
| Total | $680,000 | 46% | $313,500 |
Enter those percentages and Werx does the rest of the G702 and G703 style pay application: $313,500 earned, $31,350 held as retainage, prior applications netted out, and the current payment due ready to send. Approved change orders join the schedule of values, so next month's application already carries the new scope. For the full method, see our guides to the schedule of values and WIP reporting.

Why contractors choose Werx
Most construction tools are too heavy or too thin. Werx runs real billing and job costing at a fair price.
Built for commercial work
Made for contractors running pay apps, change orders, and RFIs, not a plain invoice tool.
Real AIA-style billing
G702 and G703 style pay apps with retainage and change orders folded in.
Know your margin
Live job costs and profit on every project, so you catch losses early.
Works with QuickBooks
Two-way sync with QuickBooks Online on every plan, at no extra cost.
Fair price
Real project controls without the enterprise price tag.
Werx runs the project, QuickBooks keeps the score
Construction accounting goes wrong when the same invoice gets typed twice. Connect Werx to QuickBooks Online once, and pay apps, invoices, payments, and expenses flow both ways on their own. Project managers work in Werx, the accountant stays in QuickBooks, and the two never drift apart.

Construction management software is an office tool that handles estimates, billing, change orders, project controls, job costs, and payments for contractors. It replaces spreadsheets, email, and paper for the money and document side of the project.
The market it serves is enormous. On the residential side alone, the Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts 135,337 residential remodeler establishments. Meanwhile the BLS 2024-34 projections expect construction manager roles to grow 9 percent by 2034 from 550,300 jobs in 2024, roughly 46,800 openings a year at a May 2025 BLS median wage of $114,990. Software that handles the billing and cost side is how smaller outfits keep pace without hiring that expensive seat.
Werx is built for commercial project work, at a price that fits small and mid-sized contractors. Bill on a schedule of values with AIA-style and progress billing, fold in change orders, and track RFIs and submittals.
See job costs in real time, track labor from the field, and sync to QuickBooks. You bid, build, bill, and get paid from one place.
