What it doesConstruction management software for residential builders, remodelers, restoration and specialty contractors: CRM and lead capture, estimates and change orders, e-signatures, invoicing and payment processing, progress billing, scheduling with Gantt charts and linear timelines, job costing and budgeting, purchase orders, a client portal, a mobile app with geofenced time tracking, daily logs, Spanish translation and QuickBooks integration. Its AI is Projul AI Connect (page read Oct 18, 2026): an API key that lets ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, or Zapier, Make and n8n, work in the Projul account, for example turning a voicemail into a lead, drafting an estimate or change order from notes, shifting a schedule or updating a cost library from a supplier price list. Projul says the assistant can build and edit draft estimates and change orders but cannot send or approve them or text or email customers, that totals, taxes and markups are calculated by Projul rather than the AI, and that only owners and admins can create a key, read-only or read-write, which can be turned off at any time. The pricing FAQ places AI Connect on the Pro plan. Vendor says 5,000+ contractors use Projul (vendor claim, not verified by us).All-in-one construction management software for contractors, with daily logs that track crews, weather, deliveries and equipment. The Daily Logs feature records subs, visitors and crews on site, automatic daily weather with notes, material deliveries/usage and equipment activity, and updates related purchase orders when materials are marked delivered; photos and files added to a log are auto-filed to the project folder; custom fields and multiple templates control what is shared with clients or owners; logs stay with the project for later reference. Other modules include client portal, inspections, permits, punch lists, scheduling (Gantt, critical path, baselines), service tickets, work orders and to-dos. The daily-logs page and homepage we read Oct 16, 2026 do not describe AI features.
