Form Up is the all-in-one app for construction and trade companies. Run your crew, projects, schedule, money, and jobsite communication from one place — so you can stop juggling a clipboard, spreadsheets, group texts, and half a dozen apps that don't talk to each other. Built by a third-generation contractor who got tired of paying for five different apps and none of them working together. One app. Your whole operation. CREW AND TIME - GPS-verified clock in and out, so you always know who is on-site — and which job their hours belong to. - Automatic overtime calculation and weekly timesheets. - Export timesheets to PDF or CSV for payroll and your accountant. - Role-based access for Owner, Admin, Manager, Office, Estimator, Foreman, Worker, and Subcontractor. PROJECTS - Track every job from lead to completion: details, status, schedule, and progress. - Photo and video documentation, organized by plans, before, during, and after. - Upload full PDF plan sets, not just photos. - Assignable task checklists with due dates — only the assigned person (or the office) can check them off. - Daily field reports with photos and notes that flow into the project gallery. SCHEDULE - Put crews on jobs with a clean weekly schedule and a company-wide crew board. - Assign specific tasks to a day, not just the whole project. - See at a glance which jobs are falling behind. - Add any job or task to Google Calendar in one tap. BUDGETS AND PROFIT - Set a budget and payment schedule for every job, and track what's paid vs. owed. - See real profit as it happens: materials, clocked labor, and subcontractor costs roll into each job automatically. - Know your true numbers — cost of doing business, overhead, and the exact rate you need to charge. - Company-wide job profitability, margins worst-first, and a view of exactly who owes you. - Generate a branded job close-out or profit report as a PDF. CRM AND FOLLOW-UPS - A visual sales pipeline from new lead to won, with deal value and lead temperature. - Log every call, text, and note on a timeline, and never miss a follow-up. - One tap to call, text, or email — plus AI-written follow-up messages. MESSAGING - Company and crew channels, a dedicated chat for every project, and private one-on-one direct messages. - Send photos and videos, see who has read each message, and react. - Messages and daily reports auto-translate, so English and Spanish-speaking crews stay on the same page. SUBCONTRACTORS - Invite subcontractors as team members, or share a single project with an outside contractor. - Subs see the job, schedule, tasks, photos, and chat they need, without seeing your numbers. - Track sub payments and year-end 1099 totals. ESTIMATES AND INVOICES - Build professional, magazine-quality estimates on-site and convert them to projects in one tap. - Create invoices, export to PDF, send them straight from the job, and sync with QuickBooks to keep your books clean. AI TOOLS - Snap photos of a jobsite and get an instant estimate with line items and pricing. - Turn plans into a full phased job with tasks in seconds. - Turn quick notes into a polished daily report, and clean up client messages so they read professionally. MORE - Receipts and expense tracking charged straight to the job. - Material load lists and built-in calculators for concrete, decking, fencing, framing, roofing, and more. - Client directory, equipment tracking, and a learning hub to train your crew. - Full multilingual support, dark mode, and custom accent colors. - Works across concrete, masonry, roofing, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and every trade. Form Up. Your whole operation, in your pocket. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://useformup.com/privacy
