Questions, answered.

What contractors ask before they sign up, and a direct line to the people who build ConstructStream.

How do I get started with ConstructStream?

Sign up for the 14-day free trial, with no credit card required. The trial has every feature. A getting-started checklist then takes you through the setup: your profile, your company details, connecting Gmail, your products and services, inviting your team and your default legal notes.

Can I import data from my current software?

Yes. You can import clients, contacts, leads, bids and products from a CSV file, which most software can export. If you use QuickBooks Online, connecting it matches your existing customers, products and invoices instead of having you type them in again.

Is my data secure?

Your company's records are kept in a database run by Supabase, which encrypts data at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS, and backs the database up every day. Row-level security keeps each company's data apart from every other company's. The site is served by Vercel. Uptime is that of those two providers, and both publish their live status.

Is there a phone app?

Yes. The Android app is on Google Play today: search for Construct Stream. The iPhone app is on the way. Until it is out, iPhone users sign in at constructstream.com in the phone's browser.

Does ConstructStream work offline?

No. ConstructStream needs an internet connection, on the web and on the phone. The Android app is built for the weak signal of a job site: an update and its photos written without a connection are kept on the phone and sent when the signal is back.

How does progress billing work?

An invoice on a job bills each line of the contract by quantity or by percent complete. ConstructStream keeps what has been billed to date, calculates retainage, and produces a pay application ready to send to your GC.

What integrations are available?

We integrate with QuickBooks Online (two-way accounting sync) and Gmail (send from your own address, with open tracking, and the Gmail add-on for logging emails).

Can I try it before committing?

Yes. The free trial lasts 14 days, needs no credit card and has every feature, so you can put a real job through it before you decide.

What kind of support do you offer?

Support is by email, the same on every plan: write to support@constructstream.com and the people who build ConstructStream answer. There is no phone line.
