Fieldwire - Construction App 4+

I’ve been using Fieldwire as a foreman for over a year on a complex, high end project. I’ve kinda always been a paper guy, not caring for the digital medium. After using it as long as I have, I cannot imagine working on our current project without it. The power to streamline communication up and down the chains of command in a way that all interested parties can observe and respond to those communications is priceless. With The software’s new custom form building platform we have more and more ways to track information to limit the use of multiple platforms.

I’ve been asked numerous times how Fieldwire saves me time on our projects, and while I appreciate the question, and doubtless FW does save time, I think it’s passive benefits outstrip it’s time saving benefits. By that I mean that it’s record keeping abilities prevent confusion, and keep processes flowing. When used well, conversational communication morphs into tasks that generate clarity for future reference. This passive benefits a direct time savings because captured information ends up trapped in amber as it were. Weeks and even months can go by before a generated task reaches a conclusion. By properly tasking, no one has to build bridges across rivers that already had bridges built on them due to forgetting previous conclusions about how to accomplish an objective.

I could say much more about Fieldwire but will leave it at just get this software...it’s good.

My team has struggled midely with keeping up with project tasks and todo's that it was driving me nuts! Some guys take it upon themselves to take notes and document issues, tasks, etc. Themselves; however the younger generation is much more geared towards technology and using their phones... So we had to adapt.

Fieldwire is the perfect solution for us. It allows me to setup tasks for the project, the guys can check them off as they complete things, and my managers love being able to see exactly what's out there to be finished for billing purposes.

The only thing I hope they can add is an intermediary pricing plan for companies between 5-Unlimited. To go from Free to $30/mo p/user is a big jump even if you only have a team of 5. Something in the 5-15 project range at $15/mo would be perfect until our company grows and can warrant spending the additional money for it. Other than that though it's easily the best app on the market I've seen for managing construction jobs! Great work Fieldwire! Keep it up!
