For the contractor who wears every hat

You didn't get into this trade to sit at a desk.

Slateworks runs bidding, scheduling, field tracking, and billing for small trade contractors — the whole job in one thread, from your phone. So the business runs through your pocket, not your evenings.

You're the estimator. And the salesman. And the foreman. And the bookkeeper.

You run the business from the truck. Bids get written at the kitchen table after dinner. The schedule lives in your head, the job costs live in a spreadsheet you haven't opened since spring, and invoices go out whenever you finally get a night to catch up.

Software was supposed to help. Instead, construction software is built for construction enterprises — office staff, project managers, an IT guy. It hands you forty screens of data entry and calls it a workflow. You end up serving the database.

Slateworks is built the other way around: the software serves the contractor. Relentlessly.

The whole job, one thread

From the first phone call to the final check — every step feeds the next, so nothing gets typed twice and nothing falls through.

Bid in about ten minutes

Measure the property right on the aerial, pick the work, and Slateworks builds the job from your own crew and material costs — your trade practices, not a price book. When you sit down to send it, the bid's already 95% done.

Plan the job in five

Won it? The bid already knows the crews, the days, and the materials. Put it on the calendar and go.

Sixty-second field reports

Your foreman taps in what got done — in and out of the phone before the truck door shuts. No forms, no laptop, no "I'll do it Friday."

Billing that follows the work

Invoices come from what actually happened on the job — change orders and T&M included. Bill the day the work is done, not the week you find time.

Ask, don't dig

"What's not billed yet?" "What did we make on the Miller lot?" Ask in plain English and get a straight answer from your own numbers.

Every job makes the next bid sharper

What the crew actually did feeds back into what you bid next. Your cost numbers stop being guesses and start being a record.

The AI never touches your math

There's plenty of AI in Slateworks — it reads your documents, builds jobs from a scope, and answers questions in plain English. But it never computes a cost or a price. Every number comes from a deterministic pricing engine running your rates, your production paces, and your markups.

Same job, same inputs, same price — every time. No hallucinated numbers, no "the AI thinks it's around $12,000." When a customer asks where a price came from, you can show them, line by line.

Our test for every feature

Before anything ships in Slateworks, it has to pass a hard filter:

If a feature fails the test, we don't build it. The last question is the one we care about most — everything in Slateworks earns its place by being something you'd miss.

Built inside a real contracting business

Slateworks isn't a software company's guess at how contractors work. It runs live today inside a working pavement-maintenance contractor — pricing real bids, dispatching real crews, and billing real customers, in their best bidding year on record.

We're rolling it out trade by trade: asphalt maintenance, fencing, roofing, concrete, landscaping, striping, painting, and more. If you run a crew or three and you're tired of doing office work at 9pm, we built this for you.
