Project Brief: The No-BS Construction Management Platform

Let’s be honest, most construction management software is a bloated, overpriced mess. You pay a fortune for a hundred features you’ll never use, and the whole thing runs slower than molasses in January. It’s built by committees in corner offices who haven’t stepped on a job site in years.

I got fed up with it. So, I built my own.

This is a ground-up construction management platform with all the core functionality of something like Buildertrend, but without the fluff. Using Python, SQLite, and HTMX, it’s ridiculously fast and responsive. There are no clunky JavaScript frameworks, just a tool that does what you need it to do—scheduling, daily logs, client communication, financials—and gets out of your way. The goal here isn’t to reinvent the wheel; it’s to build a better, leaner wheel for the GCs who are tired of paying for a fleet of 18-wheelers when all they need is a reliable work truck. I will update with a better breakdown as time permits. Here are some screenshots for now.

I created a robust landing page with buckets. This is like a kanban for contractors. This is a powerful feature that helps keep the organizational juices flowing. The landing buckets

This is our scheduling module. This is a powerhouse for the contractor and helps keep things moving. Creating quality Gantt charts with milestones and proper flow are something clients crave these days. We also have a powerful table view that allows inline editing. The PDF exports are a great summarization of where you are on your project. The schedule module The table view The PDF printout
