Estimating built for tendered work
Takeoffs with AI scale detection, assemblies and category markups, supplier RFQs out to your trade list, and an accepted quote that converts to a job with the budget already set.
For construction companies
Every project, every cost, every crew — in one system
Estimating, programs, cost control, timesheets, purchase orders, compliance and client reporting for construction companies running multiple projects with an office team, site supervisors and a long subcontractor list.
Built for the way a construction business actually runs
Estimators, project managers, supervisors and admin all work on the same project record — so a change on site updates the program, the committed cost and the client's view at once.
Programs across every project at once
Critical-path Gantts per project with dependencies and float, schedule templates for repeat build types, imported programs from PDF or CSV, and a weekly planner across the whole portfolio.
Cost control that doesn't wait for month end
Estimates versus committed POs, supplier invoices and labour actuals, with variance per cost category and cost-to-complete forecasting on the analytics dashboard.
Office, site and subcontractors in one system
Supervisors, estimators, admin and project managers work off the same job. Subcontractors respond to RFQs, accept tasks and upload credentials through their own portal.
Compliance that survives an audit
SWMS and JSA sign-offs, QR site inductions and sign-in, trade licence and insurance expiry reminders, prestart checklists and WorkSafe-style incident reports, all filed to the job.
Roles that keep commercials private
Custom roles and granular permissions mean site crews see the program and their tasks while margins, budgets and client billing stay with the office.
What scales with you
Multi-project visibility
A portfolio view of active jobs, health flags, forecast overruns and this week's critical tasks — so a slipping project is visible before it becomes a claim.
Approvals and controls
Purchase order and leave approval workflows, invoice status tracking from not received through to paid, and an exportable audit log of who changed what.
Standardised delivery
Schedule templates, selection libraries, induction templates and instruction templates mean every project manager runs the job the same way.
Client and head-contractor reporting
Per-project client portals with key dates, progress claims, selections and a site diary feed — plus branded PDF programs and reports for head contractors.

Who sees what, once a team gets big enough to need rules
The moment supervisors, subcontractors and clients all touch the same project, the question stops being "can they log in?" and becomes "what can they see?". Roles in SiteStride are enforced on the server, not hidden in the interface.
| Role | Can see | Cannot see |
|---|---|---|
| Admin / owner | Every project, margins, pay rates, billing and user management | Nothing is hidden |
| Office / PM | Estimates, budgets, POs, invoices and variance on their projects | Billing settings and company-wide pay data |
| Site supervisor | Program, tasks, diary, timesheets, safety and RFIs | Costs, margins, quotes and other people's pay |
| Employee / crew | Their tasks, their hours and the safety paperwork for the job | Any financial detail on the job |
| Subcontractor | Only the RFQ, task or site pack shared with them, via a signed link | The rest of the project entirely |
| Client | Key dates, progress, selections and approved variations | Internal costs, trade rates and task-level detail |

Questions from construction companies
- How many users can we have?
- Every plan is a flat monthly price with unlimited users. Estimators, project managers, supervisors, subcontractors and clients are all included, so getting your whole delivery team onto a project never increases the bill.
- Can different staff see different things?
- Yes. Custom roles and granular permissions let you separate commercial data — budgets, margins, client billing — from the site view. Site crews see the program, their tasks, diary and safety records only.
- Does it handle multiple projects and multiple entities?
- It's built for it. Run unlimited concurrent projects with a portfolio dashboard, and on the Company plan and above you can operate multiple trading entities from the one account.
- Can we migrate existing projects and price lists?
- Yes. Import rates, materials and selections by CSV, bring existing programs in from PDF, image or CSV, and the Company plan includes onboarding and data import assistance.
- How is our data protected?
- Every table is protected by row-level security scoped to your company, data is hosted on managed cloud infrastructure with automated backups, and you can export everything at any time. Full detail is on our security page.
