About
Fieldwire is a purpose-built construction management platform that brings together the entire project team—from foremen to project managers—on a single, real-time collaboration hub. Trusted on more than 4 million jobsites globally, it streamlines field and office workflows to reduce rework, eliminate costly miscommunications, and deliver projects on schedule. The platform covers the full construction lifecycle: task assignment and tracking, punch lists, inspections, scheduling, RFIs, submittals, change orders, and budget management. Its powerful document management module includes mobile plan viewing with automatic version control, as-built drawing markup, BIM viewing, and seamless integrations with Box and Dropbox. Teams can fill out digitized forms for daily reports, timesheets, and inspection requests directly from the field. Fieldwire's Field Intelligence™ feature layers AI-powered insights on top of project data, giving teams actionable reporting and performance analytics. Real-time push notifications keep conversations tied to specific tasks, accelerating decision-making. Customizable PDF reports provide owners and GCs with automated project summaries for seamless handovers. Fieldwire is ideal for general contractors, specialty contractors, owners, and architects who need a reliable, mobile-first solution to coordinate jobsite activity, capture performance records, and reduce liability. Available on Web, iOS, and Android with offline support.
Key Features
- Task & Punch List Management: Assign, track, and close out tasks, punch list items, and inspections directly from the field, with photo and video attachments for full documentation.
- Mobile Plan Viewing & Markups: View and mark up the latest drawings on any device—even offline—with automatic version control, as-built recording, and BIM viewer support.
- Project Documentation: Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, specifications, and digitized forms in one place, keeping the entire project record audit-ready.
- Field Intelligence™ AI Reporting: AI-powered analytics layer that surfaces performance insights, tracks who did what, and generates customizable PDF reports for stakeholders and handovers.

Use Cases
- General contractors managing multiple active jobsites need to assign tasks, track progress, and generate daily reports from a centralized mobile platform.
- Specialty subcontractors accessing the latest drawing revisions on-site to ensure work is executed against current plans and capturing photo evidence for payment disputes.
- Project owners automating progress reports and handover documentation to monitor build quality across a portfolio of construction projects.
- Architects and designers conducting site visits with real-time access to markups and field updates, reducing the back-and-forth between site and studio.
- QA/QC teams digitizing inspection checklists and punch list workflows to reduce defects, speed up closeout, and maintain a defensible record of work completed.
Pros
- Comprehensive All-in-One Platform: Covers the full construction workflow—from task tracking and scheduling to RFIs, submittals, and BIM viewing—reducing the need for multiple disconnected tools.
- Strong Mobile & Offline Support: Available on iOS and Android with offline capability, making it practical for field crews in areas with limited connectivity.
- Proven Scale: Trusted on over 4 million jobsites with a track record of measurable QA/QC savings, as cited by major general contractors like EllisDon.
- Free Tier Available: Teams can get started for free, lowering the barrier to adoption for smaller contractors and subcontractors.
Cons
- Construction-Specific Scope: Designed exclusively for construction and field operations, so it offers little value for teams outside the built environment industry.
- Advanced Features Behind Paid Plans: Unlimited projects, storage, advanced reporting, and integrations require upgrading to paid tiers, which can be costly for larger teams.
- Learning Curve for Full Feature Set: The breadth of features—RFIs, submittals, BIM, forms, budgets—can be overwhelming for new users without dedicated onboarding.
