PreviewContractor OS by Backgen

From estimate to final draw, on one job record

A remodel is an estimate, a contract, a schedule, a budget, a string of change orders and a set of invoices. Contractor OS keeps them on one job, so a signed change order updates the budget and the billing schedule in the same step.

Built and in final testing. Ask for early access and we will show you exactly where it stands.

What it does

Built around how construction & remodeling businesses work

Jobs made of phases

Start a kitchen remodel, bath remodel or addition from a template. Phases carry dependencies and show on a timeline you can drag.

Estimates that keep your margin private

Build estimates from assemblies with cost, markup and price. The customer sees a branded PDF and signs online; your margin never leaves the office.

Change orders that flow through

A signed change order updates the job budget and the schedule of values together.

Job costing

Budget against actual for labour, materials and subcontractors, per job and per phase.

Progress billing

Schedule of values, draws, retainage and a continuation sheet, with a draw package your customer can review and pay.

Subcontractors and compliance

Track insurance certificates per subcontractor. Expired cover blocks dispatch. Lien waivers are collected per draw.

The field

Daily logs, photos and a punch list from a phone. Retainage is held until the punch list closes.

Accounting export

Export to QuickBooks-ready files.

Your words

It speaks your trade

No generic labels to decode. Every screen uses the words you and your team already say out loud.

Just ask

Skip the reports. Ask a question in plain English and get an answer from your own records. It never changes anything without your say-so.
