Collaboration & documents

The conversation and the paperwork, per job.

Construction PM has its own in-app messaging, real-time notifications, and document storage organized by job. The conversation about a change order, the alert that it was approved, and the PDF that proves it all live next to the job they belong to.

In-app messaging

Every job gets its own conversation.

Construction PM includes its own messaging, so the team does not have to jump to a separate app to talk about the work. Each job has a channel, each crew has a channel, and anyone can send a direct message. Because the conversation is attached to the job, the context is already there.

  • A channel per job and per crew, plus direct messages.
  • @-mentions, photo and file attachments, and read receipts.
  • Role-aware posting, so the right people speak on the job channel.
Notifications

Nobody misses the message that matters.

An in-app inbox with a notification bell and an unread count keeps everyone current, and real-time browser alerts surface the moment something lands. Project managers and foremen send announcements to a job's crew or to the whole company, so a schedule change or a callback reaches the field without a phone tree.

  • In-app notification inbox with a bell and unread count.
  • Real-time browser alerts as messages and announcements arrive.
  • Job-crew and company-wide announcements from PMs and foremen.
Documents

Every file, filed to the job it belongs to.

Each job has a documents area that stores files against that job and sorts them into the categories a subcontractor actually uses: contracts, change orders, lien waivers, billing records, purchase orders, invoices, drawings, and progress photos. Visibility is role-aware, so field roles do not see finance-only categories.

  • Files stored per job and auto-sorted by document type.
  • Role-aware visibility for finance and legal documents.
  • Bulk import from SharePoint when a job already has a folder.
