Built for general contractors, trades, and construction PM
The CRM that wins the bid, runs the project, and keeps the lien waiver trail clean.
Construction runs on bids, subcontractor coordination, project management, change orders, and compliance documentation. Strkr ships a CRM shaped around the construction workflow with bid pipeline, subcontractor relationships, project lifecycle, change order tracking, and the lien waiver and compliance evidence construction teams need.
Construction CRM needs run from commercial GCs managing $50 million portfolios to residential remodelers running two active projects at a time. The pain points below are what Strkr's onboarding team hears from general contractors, specialty trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing), construction project managers, and construction service companies.
The bid pipeline that lives in Excel
Fifty-two active bids and no view of the pipeline.
A commercial GC with 52 active bids typically runs the pipeline in Excel or in a legacy bid tracking tool. Follow-up on bid due dates, bid walkthroughs, and bid award notification lives in email. Strkr's bid pipeline tracks every opportunity with the bid due date, walkthrough date, estimated value, and current status with Strkr AI drafted followup emails.
Subcontractor coordination
Three hundred subs across 40 active projects.
A commercial GC coordinates 300 subcontractors across 40 active projects with insurance verification, lien waiver collection, scope management, and payment schedule. The coordination lives in paper files and Dropbox folders. Strkr's subcontractor management workflow tracks insurance status, lien waiver cycle, scope definition, and payment timing per sub per project.
Change order tracking
The scope creep that nobody billed.
Change orders during active construction add 11 to 18 percent to the typical project but half get billed late or never billed because the paper trail breaks. Strkr's change order workflow captures the change scope, pricing, client authorization, and billing with the audit evidence intact. Change order revenue capture climbs typically 30 to 50 percent in the first year.
Lien waiver compliance
The payment release that cannot happen without the waiver.
Progress payments on construction projects require lien waiver collection from subs and sub-subs. Missing waivers delay payment release and expose the GC to mechanics lien risk. Strkr's lien waiver workflow tracks required waivers per sub per payment period with chase emails, waiver status, and the compliance evidence trail.
Project communication fragments
The client email, the super text, the architect note.
Project communication fragments across email (owner, architect), text (super to field crew), and verbal (jobsite conversations). The project record ends up scattered. Strkr's project record pulls email, SMS via Strkr Messaging, and structured field notes into one surface with Strkr AI drafted daily log summaries from the raw inputs.
Field to office handoff
The daily log that gets written at 10 PM.
Field supers finish the day and write daily logs after hours. Fatigue and incomplete capture leave office PMs with partial visibility. Strkr's mobile field capture (voice to text, photo capture with location tagging, structured activity log) runs during the workday. Strkr AI drafts the daily log from the structured inputs. The field-to-office handoff is complete by day end.
The construction schema
Objects shaped like construction operations.
Strkr ships a tunable construction schema with Owner Client, Opportunity, Bid, Project, Subcontractor, Change Order, Lien Waiver, and Daily Log as first-class objects. The contractor can rename or extend anything. The default lands close to where most construction teams end up after two months of tuning.
Owner client object
Private owner, developer, public agency, repeat.
An owner client in Strkr is the project owner (private commercial owner, developer, public agency, residential owner, repeat institutional client). The schema carries the project history with this owner, the payment history, and the relationship notes. Repeat business lives on the record which is where construction revenue compounds.
Opportunity object
The pursuit with bid or negotiated scope.
An opportunity ties to the owner client and defines the project pursuit (invited bid, negotiated contract, design-build, CM at risk). The stage progression (identified, prequalified, bid in progress, bid submitted, awarded, lost) carries exit criteria. The pipeline view shows the GC's pursuit book.
Bid object
The bid with scope, pricing, and submission.
A bid captures the bid with scope breakdown, pricing (cost plus overhead plus profit, lump sum, GMP), submission date, and the required bid artifacts (bid bond, qualifications package, schedule). The bid record retains the full bid package for post-award reference and for lost-bid analysis.
Project object
The awarded project with schedule and budget.
A project ties to the awarded bid with schedule (critical path milestones, substantial completion target), budget (original contract plus change orders), and the responsible team (project manager, superintendent, foreman). The project drives the subcontractor assignment, the change order management, and the lien waiver cycle.
Subcontractor object
The sub with insurance, scope, and payment history.
A subcontractor carries the sub's legal entity, insurance status (current certificates on file with expiration tracking), scope specialization, project history with the GC, and payment history. The sub record drives the project assignment, the insurance compliance, and the lien waiver cycle.
Change order object
The scope change with client authorization.
A change order ties to the project and captures the scope change, pricing (time and material or lump sum), client authorization status, and billing status. The change order workflow enforces authorization-before-work and billing-on-completion with the audit evidence trail.
Lien waiver object
Progress and final waivers per sub per period.
Lien waivers tie to subs and payment periods with status (requested, received, approved, filed) and the waiver type (progress conditional, progress unconditional, final conditional, final unconditional). The compliance evidence trail retains the full waiver history for the project lifecycle.
Daily log object
The field activity for the day.
A daily log captures the field activity for the project day (crews on site, work performed, weather conditions, safety incidents, visitor log, materials delivered, inspection activity). The daily log retains for the project lifecycle plus statute of limitations period (typically 10 years in most jurisdictions).
How Strkr AI drafts for construction
The AI jobs that fit construction work.
Strkr AI drafts in a professional, numbers-grounded, field-aware tone that fits construction communication. The jobs below are what shows up in every construction CRM deployment inside the first three weeks.
Bid follow-up
The post-submission touch.
After bid submission Strkr AI drafts the follow-up to the owner or architect with the project context, the submission date, and the next-step inquiry. The GC gets intelligence on competitor positioning and award timing without being pushy. Award rate on followed-up bids climbs 10 to 15 points typically.
Subcontractor outreach
The scope-specific sub ask.
For an active project needing sub bids Strkr AI drafts the scope-specific sub outreach grounded in the project scope and the sub's specialization. The outreach includes the bid due date, the pre-bid walkthrough, and the submission requirements. Sub response rates climb because the outreach matches the sub's capability.
Daily log draft
The field activity narrative.
Strkr AI drafts the daily log narrative from the structured field inputs (crews, work, weather, incidents, inspections). The field super reviews, adjusts, and submits in minutes instead of writing from scratch after hours. The daily log quality improves because the structured capture happens during the workday.
Change order communication
The client authorization ask.
For change orders Strkr AI drafts the client communication with the scope change explanation, the pricing basis, the schedule impact, and the authorization request. The owner authorizes with clarity instead of debating ambiguous scope creep. Change order billing capture improves because the authorization paper trail exists.
Lien waiver chase
The payment-period waiver reminder.
For sub payment periods needing lien waivers Strkr AI drafts the waiver chase to the sub with the waiver type, the payment period, and the submission link. The payment release stays on cadence because the waivers come in on time. The mechanics lien exposure drops.
Project status update
The weekly owner report.
For active projects Strkr AI drafts the weekly owner status update covering schedule progress, budget status, change order activity, upcoming milestones, and open issues. The project manager reviews and sends. The owner stays informed without 20 ad hoc emails per week asking for status.
The project team cockpit
The views that run construction work.
Construction teams need separate views for pursuit (business development), project execution (project managers and supers), and compliance (controller and risk management). Strkr's role-based cockpit gives each role the right data. The cards below show what each role sees.
Business development pursuit view
Active bids by stage and due date.
The pursuit view shows every active opportunity ranked by bid due date with current stage, estimated value, probability, and the next action required. The BD team works ahead of bid dates with Strkr AI drafted follow-ups ready to send. The pursuit pipeline becomes a managed book instead of a reactive scramble.
Project manager cockpit
Active projects with milestones and budget.
The PM view shows every active project with critical milestones, budget-to-actual status, open change orders, open RFIs, and open punch items. The PM sees projects needing attention this week versus projects running clean. The weekly staff meeting runs on data instead of memory.
Superintendent field view
Jobsite activity with crews and compliance.
The super field view shows jobsite activity with crews on site, work performed, inspection status, safety incidents, and compliance items pending (sub insurance expiring, lien waiver needed). The field super runs the day grounded in the current data instead of digging through binders.
Subcontractor compliance queue
Insurance expiring and lien waiver due.
The sub compliance queue surfaces insurance certificates expiring in the next 30 days and lien waivers due for the current payment period. The office administrator works the queue with Strkr AI drafted outreach ready to send. The compliance posture stays clean without manual tracking.
Change order billing
Authorized changes awaiting billing.
The change order billing view surfaces authorized change orders completed in the field but not yet billed. The office administrator pushes the billing cadence. Change order revenue capture improves because the billing happens on time instead of getting lost in the paper trail.
Risk and compliance roll-up
Portfolio-level exposure signals.
The risk and compliance roll-up shows portfolio-level signals: sub insurance expiration counts, open mechanics lien risk, overdue lien waivers, open change orders over authorization limits, project schedule risk. The controller and risk manager see the portfolio exposure in one view.
Field capture and mobile workflow
The CRM that works in the trailer and on the roof.
Construction work happens in the field. The CRM has to work with gloves, with intermittent connectivity, with a tablet in a trailer or a phone on a roof. Strkr's mobile capture is designed for construction field conditions. The cards below show how.
Offline mode
Edits that queue and sync when reception returns.
Strkr mobile edits every record offline and queues sync when reception returns. The field super on a remote site captures daily log entries, photo documentation, and sub conversations without worrying about connectivity. The sync happens automatically when the super drives back to the trailer or the hotel.
Voice-to-text capture
The daily log without typing.
The field super talks the daily log instead of typing it. Strkr's voice-to-text captures the narrative with Strkr AI structuring the output into the daily log fields (crews, work, weather, incidents). The field super spends five minutes instead of 45 minutes on daily log capture.
Photo documentation
Photos tagged to project and task.
Field photos capture with GPS location tagging and auto-attribution to the project and the task. The project PM sees field photos on the project record. For change order documentation and dispute defense the photo evidence is tagged, dated, and searchable.
SMS from the field
Strkr Messaging for sub and crew coordination.
Field coordination over SMS happens on Strkr Messaging with messages attributed to the project record. The sub coordination stays visible to the PM. The compliance team sees the record for dispute defense if needed. STOP and HELP keyword compliance is automatic.
Inspection scheduling
Inspection calls from the trailer.
City and county building inspection scheduling happens from the field. Strkr's inspection module tracks required inspections per project phase, surfaces upcoming inspections, and captures the inspection outcome. The field super stops juggling inspection scheduling in a notebook.
Safety incident capture
OSHA-ready documentation in the moment.
Safety incidents capture in the field with photos, witness statements, and the required OSHA documentation fields. The safety manager sees the incident in real time with the structured capture ready for OSHA reporting if required. The response is proactive instead of reactive.

How teams use Strkr
Five construction playbooks.
The playbooks below are patterns Strkr's onboarding team sees on construction deployments across commercial GCs, specialty trades, residential builders, and construction service companies.
Pattern A
The 42-staff commercial GC.
A 42-staff commercial GC in Dallas ran a $85 million annual portfolio across commercial office, retail, and multi-family projects. The firm ran BuildingConnected for pursuit, Procore for project management, and Sage 300 CRE for ERP. CRM for repeat clients lived in Excel. Strkr onboarding ran a 32-business-day migration adding the CRM layer across the pursuit and project data. Repeat client identification improved and the firm converted 11 additional negotiated contracts in the following year grounded in the relationship data.
Pattern B
The 18-staff electrical specialty contractor.
An 18-staff electrical specialty contractor in Atlanta served commercial GCs and some direct owner clients. The firm wanted better bid pipeline visibility and faster lien waiver turnaround. Strkr onboarding ran a 14-business-day migration. The lien waiver cycle time dropped from 11 days average to 4 days. Payment release accelerated. Monthly cash position improved by $240,000 within three months of cutover.
Pattern C
The 11-crew residential remodeler.
An 11-crew residential remodeler in Portland served high-end home remodel clients at $120,000 to $800,000 project sizes. Change order management was the biggest revenue leak with roughly 42 percent of changes under-billed. Strkr onboarding configured the change order workflow with client authorization enforcement and billing capture. Change order revenue capture climbed from 58 to 92 percent in six months. Annual change order revenue added approximately $420,000.
Pattern D
The 60-staff multi-trade service company.
A 60-staff multi-trade service company (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) serving commercial facilities on service agreements and project work ran a mix of ServiceTitan for service dispatch and Sage for accounting. Pursuit tracking for larger project work lived in Google Sheets. Strkr onboarding configured the project pursuit CRM alongside the service dispatch integration. Project work revenue climbed 32 percent year-over-year with the pursuit pipeline properly managed.
Pattern E
The 240-staff regional general contractor.
A 240-staff regional GC with four offices and a $420 million annual portfolio needed cross-office CRM visibility with office-level autonomy. Each office had its own BD team and project managers but wanted shared sub relationships and portfolio-level risk management. Strkr onboarding configured multi-office deployment with shared sub records, office-level CRM autonomy, and portfolio-level risk roll-up. Cross-office best practice sharing accelerated and portfolio-level compliance posture improved.

Does Strkr integrate with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Buildertrend, or Sage 300 CRE?
Strkr integrates with major construction software platforms through their published APIs. For Procore the integration pulls project data, change orders, RFIs, and submittals and writes back the Strkr CRM layer. For Autodesk Construction Cloud the integration covers similar scope. For Buildertrend the integration covers residential construction use cases. For Sage 300 CRE the integration covers the ERP financial data. Many contractors run Strkr as the CRM and pursuit layer while keeping existing project management and ERP in place.
How does Strkr handle lien waiver compliance across sub and sub-sub tiers?
Strkr's lien waiver workflow tracks required waivers per sub per payment period with waiver type (progress conditional, progress unconditional, final conditional, final unconditional). For projects with sub-sub exposure (your sub's subs can also file mechanics liens) Strkr tracks the sub-sub waivers through the sub relationship. The chase workflow fires reminders automatically. The payment release workflow blocks payment release when required waivers are missing. The compliance evidence trail retains the full waiver history for 10 years to match typical statute of repose periods.
Can Strkr handle multi-office GC operations with office-level autonomy?
Yes. For GCs with multiple offices Strkr's office object supports per-office configuration (BD teams, project managers, sub relationships) under a single contractor tenant. The portfolio-level view rolls up across offices for executive visibility and risk management. Each office retains autonomy over its BD motion and project execution. Shared sub relationships work across offices so a sub prequalified in one office is prequalified across the enterprise.
What does Strkr cost compared to Procore, BuildingConnected, or Sage ERP?
Strkr prices flat per seat: $29 per user per month on Starter, $59 on Pro, $119 on Scale, with a 14-day trial. The AI Enhancement module is a $49 per month add-on. Procore runs enterprise pricing in the $5,000 to $50,000 per month range depending on scope. BuildingConnected runs $300 to $1,000 per month per office depending on bid volume. Sage 300 CRE runs enterprise ERP pricing with substantial implementation services. Strkr's advantage is the flat per-seat pricing, the four to eight week deployment, and the open API for integrating with existing construction tools.
How does Strkr handle field capture with intermittent connectivity?
Strkr mobile runs full offline mode with queue sync when reception returns. Field supers capture daily logs, photos (with GPS tagging), SMS via Strkr Messaging, and inspection outcomes without worrying about connectivity. Voice-to-text capture lets the super talk the daily log instead of typing. Strkr AI structures the voice input into the daily log fields. The sync happens automatically when connectivity returns. For remote jobsite work the offline reliability is critical.
Can Strkr handle OSHA safety incident documentation?
Yes. For safety incidents Strkr captures the incident with photos, witness statements, and the required OSHA documentation fields (OSHA 300 and 301 formats). The safety manager sees the incident in real time with the structured capture ready for OSHA reporting if the incident meets reporting thresholds. The audit log retains incident records with configurable retention per OSHA retention rules. For contractors with multi-site operations the incident tracking supports portfolio-level safety performance analysis.
