Frequently asked questions
Contractor Foreman scores D on the API Report Card. No public REST API. Integration runs through a Zapier app whose whole surface is lead and customer triggers plus create actions; projects, invoices, and time data are unreachable. QuickBooks, Gusto, and calendar hookups are fixed first-party connectors, not open endpoints.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Contractor Foreman is an all-in-one cloud construction management SaaS aimed at small and medium-sized residential and commercial contractors.
Construction, explicitly built for small and medium-sized residential and commercial trade and general contractors, including subcontractors, specialty trades, residential GCs, and commercial GCs. A contractor sets up projects with budgets, schedules, and crew assignments; field staff submit daily logs, time cards, and photos from the mobile app; project managers create estimates, send change orders and invoices, collect online payments, and run AIA progress billing; office staff manage RFIs, submittals, purchase orders, sub-contracts, and bills, sync invoices and expenses to QuickBooks, and pull reports for job costing; safety managers run safety meetings, log incidents, and issue inspections and punchlists; and customers log into a client portal to see project status, approve change orders, and pay invoices.
Medium-high within the SMB contractor segment. Contractor Foreman is one of the most commonly recommended low-cost alternatives to Procore, Buildertrend, and JobNimbus, with 700+ reviews on Capterra and consistent placement in 'best construction software' roundups.
Contractor Foreman holds the full operational footprint of an SMB contractor: every project, daily log, schedule, work order, RFI, submittal, change order, punchlist, inspection, and permit; estimates, bid items, purchase orders, sub-contracts, invoices (including AIA progress billing), bills, expenses, and Stripe payment records; CRM data including leads, customers, opportunities, and a directory of vendors and subs; people data including timecards, crew schedules, safety incidents, and safety meeting attendance; documents including job photos, drawings with PDF markup, forms/checklists, vehicle and equipment logs; and accounting flows that sync into QuickBooks.
Mature SMB SaaS. Contractor Foreman has been on the market for roughly a decade and is widely cited as a viable low-cost incumbent in SMB construction management.
'Fewer third-party integrations' is a consistently cited limitation, users rely on Zapier to fill gaps, but the Zapier surface only covers leads and customers, not projects, invoices, or time data. Users report integration issues that hinder usability and require additional tools like Zapier for better functionality, even though Zapier itself does not expose most of the platform's data. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Procore, Buildertrend, JobNimbus, AccuLynx, Jobber, Housecall Pro. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Contractor Foreman API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Contractor Foreman data. See the Contractor Foreman integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/contractor-foreman-api.
