ConstructionOnline

What it is

ConstructionOnline is a construction management platform from UDA Technologies for coordinating estimating, schedules, project work, communication, and finances. Its estimating tools cover project estimates, client selections, change orders, proposals, costbooks, and invoicing, with two-way QuickBooks Online integration. Teams can plan work with Gantt schedules, project calendars, baseline tracking, daily logs, to-do lists, punch lists, and checklists. Daily logs can capture jobsite work, weather, deliveries, delays, equipment, materials, visitors, and safety information. The iOS and Android app provides field access to project activity, photos, documents, logs, task lists, and schedules; it needs an active internet connection. The platform also lists integrations with Google Drive, Google Calendar, OneDrive, Outlook Calendar, Dropbox, Box, QuickBooks Online and Desktop, PlanSwift, and CAD imports. Its private REST API provides read and write access by request to Business and Enterprise subscribers. ConstructionOnline serves homebuilders and remodelers, from firms managing a handful of jobs to production teams handling hundreds of homes annually. Residential subscriptions include onboarding, ongoing training, and in-house support. The company history says UDA Technologies was founded in 1999; ConstructionOnline is headquartered in Auburn, Alabama. Paid service starts at $542 a month, with pricing on request, and a free trial is available.
