ConstructionBear turns a plain-English request into a finished construction document. Tell Bear what you need: an RFI, a change order, a daily field report, a submittal, a pay application. Bear asks for anything that is missing, fills in your company and project details, and produces a clean, professional PDF you can sign, mark up, and share in seconds. Bear remembers. Your projects, contacts, contract values, and company details are captured once and retrieved every time after that — say "another RFI for Brickell Tower" and Bear already knows the project, the architect, the numbering, and your letterhead. The more you use it, the less you have to type. Built for contractors, superintendents, and PMs who write paperwork from the truck, not the trailer. - 25+ construction document types, from RFIs to closeout checklists - Chat-first: describe the situation, Bear drafts the document of record - A memory layer for your business: projects, people, and terms auto-fill every future document - Sign, stamp, and mark up PDFs right on your phone - Share view or edit links with architects, owners, and subs - Projects, contacts, and a searchable document library - Voice input for hands-free drafting on the jobsite Subscriptions: Starter ($29.99/month, 25 documents), Business ($49.99/month, unlimited documents), and Organization ($199.99/month, 5 seats).
