We built Corten to strip out the data entry — so you get your time back where it matters most: on the job.
“This used to take me 4–5 hours to put together. Now it takes 30 minutes.”
Corten drafts each proposal straight from your bid — scope, schedule of values, alternates, and terms already filled in — so you spend minutes refining the wording instead of hours formatting. Every hour you win back is another bid out the door, and more jobs your crew can take on without adding office overhead.
Most construction software creates more work than it saves. Corten is built around the way contractors already think — so your team spends less time managing tools and more time managing jobs.
Every workflow in Corten is designed to take fewer clicks than the spreadsheet it replaces. No training manuals, no certification courses — just open it and work.
Know exactly where every job stands financially and operationally — in real time. No end-of-month surprises, no chasing updates from the field.
From bid to invoice, every project follows the same structure. Estimates convert to jobs, jobs generate invoices, costs track automatically against budget.
Role-based access keeps the office and field in sync. PMs see their jobs, admins see everything, and nothing falls through because someone didn’t check an email.
Want to see how it fits your operation? Book a 20-minute walkthrough and we’ll show you exactly how Corten maps to your workflow.
Book a Walkthrough →Hand Corten your files. It does the typing.
Drop sub quotes, receipts, timesheets, invoices, and drawings on any bid or job. AI reads each file, files it where it belongs, and fills in the vendor, trade, amounts, and scope — queued up for your review, not your data entry.
Sub quotes flow into trade worksheets and roll up to the bid sheet on their own. Set a target total and the markups solve themselves to the penny — no formulas to babysit, no numbers that don’t tie out.
The proposal drafts itself from your bid and stays current as the numbers move. AI writes the scope from your winning subs, and the branded, paginated document exports straight to Word.
Track every opportunity from first contact to signed contract. Build detailed estimates with line-item breakdowns by trade, then convert wins into jobs with the budget already seeded from your estimate — no double entry.
Keep every job on track with live schedules, task assignments, punch lists with photo attachments, and real-time cost breakdowns that adjust automatically when change orders are approved.
Issue invoices, attach bills, and manage change orders in one place — approved COs roll into the budget on their own. Role-based access controls what each seat can see and do, and admins see everything.
Set up your company profile, logo, and team in minutes. Invite project managers and field staff with the right access level for each — and be operational the same day.
Log bids as they come in, build estimates, send proposals, and convert wins to active jobs with one click.
Assign tasks, track schedules, manage punch lists, handle change orders, and keep the cost breakdown current — from the office or the field.
From the 2018 FMI/PlanGrid Construction Disconnected study — 2,500+ contractors and owners surveyed across the US.
The average construction worker spends more than half a working day every week searching for project information, resolving miscommunications, and correcting mistakes — work that never moves the job forward.
SOURCE: FMI / PLANGRID — CONSTRUCTION DISCONNECTED (2018)26% from miscommunication between teams, 22% from inaccurate or out-of-date project data. Nearly half of every dollar spent on rework is a direct result of not having the right information at the right time.
SOURCE: FMI / PLANGRID — CONSTRUCTION DISCONNECTED (2018)Corten exists to close that gap — one place for every estimate, project, cost, and conversation so nothing gets lost between the office and the field.
