Built around the job, not the boardroom

Small crews need daily logs, punch lists, photos, and a clear change history more than they need a multi-module enterprise portal. ProtoPM keeps those tools on Free so you can run the job without buying seats you will never use.

  • Daily logs and punch items under Field
  • Documents and photos with phone camera capture
  • Change log, risks, and lessons under Project Delivery
  • Financials and invoices without exposing budget to Guests

Plain language, low setup

Tabs are named for the work: General, Financials, Schedule, Documents & Photos, Field, Project Delivery, Administration. There is no mandatory consultant onboarding. Signup is self-serve.

Honest Free limits

Free includes 1 workspace, 3 active projects, 10 MB storage, and metered PDF/versions (1 each per project). When you outgrow Free, Pro is one flat price ($19.99 CAD/mo/user, cancel anytime) with no per-module add-ons.

Common questions

What is the easiest construction project management software to use?
ProtoPM is built for small contractors and PMs: title-only project creation, plain-language tabs, phone camera capture for photos and punch items, and self-serve signup with no sales call.
Can my client see the whole project?
Guests see Financials only — their own invoices. Full accounts with Viewer role can see more tabs read-only without editing.
