CRM for Construction & Contractors

Win more bids, manage client relationships, and keep projects on track from estimate to final walkthrough

A workflow to start with

From an inquiry to an estimate follow-up

Use a project inquiry to plan the contact records, staff handoff, and follow-up you need.

Configure and test this workflow for your business before turning on messages or reminders.

  1. Capture the inquiry

    Collect basic contact details and the request in a form. Assign a person to review it.

    Explore forms and lead capture
  2. Track the proposal

    Use stages that show whether a conversation is planned, a proposal is sent, or a decision is pending.

    Explore contacts and pipelines
  3. Follow up after staff review

    Configure a reminder after the proposal is sent. Stop on reply so a person can answer questions.

Where SMBcrm fits

Use SMBcrm for bid inquiries and estimate follow-up. Keep takeoffs, project schedules, site safety, subcontractors, and job costing in your construction tools.

Before turning it on

Have the project owner check scope and bid status. A pipeline stage does not approve the estimate or authorize work.

Challenges in Construction

These common pain points hold construction businesses back from growing. SMBcrm was built to solve them.

Estimates That Disappear

You spend hours creating detailed estimates only for prospects to go silent. Without structured follow-up, you lose jobs to the contractor who stayed in touch.

Client Communication Chaos

Project updates scattered across texts, emails, and phone calls create confusion. Clients feel out of the loop and trust erodes before the project even finishes.

Referral Revenue Left on the Table

Satisfied homeowners are your best lead source, but without a system to ask for referrals and reviews after project completion, that pipeline stays dry.

How SMBcrm Solves It

Purpose-built tools for construction businesses to automate, engage, and grow.

Bid & Estimate Pipeline

Track every bid from initial inquiry through proposal, follow-up, and signed contract with visual pipeline boards built for construction workflows.

Post-Project Review Requests
