Top 10: Mobile Apps in Construction

10. Kahua Mobile

Company: Kahua
CEO: Scott Unger
Cost: Free app; enterprise subscription, quote-based

Kahua Mobile extends Kahua's low-code capital programme and construction management platform to the field.

It gives owners, programme managers and general contractors access to bid management, capital planning and asset-centric project oversight.

It is best suited to large capital programmes and public-sector portfolios rather than day-to-day site reporting. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Georgia, US Kahua serves a global customer base, including the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. 

9. HammerTech Mobile

Company: HammerTech
CEO: Ben Leach
Cost: Free app; no per-seat fees, platform pricing on request

HammerTech Mobile digitises enterprise safety, quality and environmental compliance workflows. 

It lets site teams complete inductions, permits and incident reporting from the field. 

The app’s customer base includes large enterprises such as DPR Construction and Shawmut.

However, HammerTech charges no per-user fee, making it an accessible app for many as it aims to remove barriers to subcontractor adoption.

Founded in Melbourne, Australia in 2012, the company has since built out HammerTech over the years into a broader safety intelligence platform for construction. 

8. HCSS Field

Company: HCSS
CEO: Drew Thomas
Cost: Free app; enterprise subscription

HCSS Field is built for heavy civil contractors, giving field crews a mobile way to manage labour, equipment, costs and safety data. The app also offers a wider suite of estimating and scheduling tools. 

Headquartered near Houston, US, HCSS has long served highway, bridge and utility contractors, and Field is designed to plug directly into that back-office ecosystem for real-time cost tracking. 

The company appointed Drew Thomas as new CEO and successor to Steve McGough in July 2026.

7. Oracle Aconex

Company: Oracle Corporation
CEO: Safra Catz
Cost: Free app; enterprise subscription

Oracle Aconex brings document control, correspondence and audit-trail management to major infrastructure and engineering programmes.

Acquired by Melbourne, Australia-based Oracle in 2018, it is designed for projects where regulatory compliance and traceability are paramount, rather than fast-moving daily reporting. 

Reviews reveal users often prefer the desktop platform for heavier documentation tasks.

Founded in 1986, HCSS remains one of the longest-established software providers in the heavy civil and infrastructure construction space.

6. Trimble ProjectSight

Company: Trimble
CEO: Rob Painter
Cost: Free app; enterprise subscription

Trimble ProjectSight gives commercial contractors a mobile hub for project controls, documents, issues and field collaboration.

It integrates with Trimble's broader construction technology ecosystem spanning design, surveying and field hardware. 

It targets teams already invested in Trimble's connected construction approach, offering a single thread from design data through to field execution and issue resolution.

Headquartered in Colorado, US, Trimble has built ProjectSight as one piece of a much larger "Connected Construction" strategy linking hardware, software and data. 

5. Autodesk Construction Cloud

Company: Autodesk, Inc.
CEO: Andrew Anagnost
Cost: Free app; subscription from approximately US$29 per user per month

Autodesk Construction Cloud unifies Autodesk Build, BIM Collaborate, Autodesk Docs and the legacy PlanGrid app into one mobile experience, supporting more than 2.5 million projects worldwide.

It is aimed at design-and-build organisations already working in Revit and BIM workflows, connecting office-based model coordination with on-site document access, markups and issue tracking for large, design-intensive contractors.

Autodesk absorbed PlanGrid into this suite following an US$875m acquisition in 2018, folding its blueprint-management tools into the wider platform. 

4. SafetyCulture

Company: SafetyCulture
CEO: Luke Anear (interim)
Cost: Free app; premium plans from approximately US$24 per user per month

SafetyCulture, formerly known as iAuditor, is an inspections and safety management app used well beyond construction but heavily adopted on jobsites for checklists, audits and corrective actions. 

Founded in Australia, it lets teams digitise paper-based safety processes, raise and resolve issues in real time, and track compliance across large, multi-site operations with a comparatively simple, mobile-first interface.

Anear, who founded the company in a garage in 2004, returned as CEO in early 2026 to lead an AI-focused rebuild of the platform. 

3. Raken

Company: Raken
CEO: Ty Kalklosch​​​​​​​
Cost: Free tier; paid plans, quote-based

Raken specialises in field reporting and turning daily logs, labour tracking, production records and site documentation into a streamlined mobile workflow for superintendents and crews. 

Based in Carlsbad, California, it is built field-first, letting users narrate progress and snap photos on-site before the app compiles a branded daily report for the office, a workflow commercial general contractors particularly favour.

Private equity firm Sverica Capital acquired the company in 2025, though it continues to trade under the Raken name. 

2. Fieldwire

Company: Hilti Fieldwire (Hilti Group)
CEO: Jahangir Doongaji (Hilti Group CEO)
Cost: Free tier; Pro plans from US$39 per user per month

Fieldwire is a field management app built to coordinate drawings, punch lists, tasks and requests for information (RFIs) for large contractors managing multiple job sites. 

Acquired by Swiss-Liechtenstein tool manufacturer Hilti in 2021, it was designed mobile-first from its 2013 founding. 

This was a deliberate contrast to office-led platforms with desktop tools project managers love but field crews often avoid. 

Users can mark up plans directly on a tablet, assign and track tasks in real time, and keep drawings synced offline for crews working without reliable site connectivity. 

The app’s enterprise plans and drawing-led workflows have made it particularly strong for multi-site construction operations, and reviews reflect strong adoption among the field teams who use it daily rather than just the office staff who purchase it.

Fieldwire's acquisition by Hilti gave it access to hardware integrations across the tool manufacturer's wider jobsite technology ecosystem. 

1. Procore

Company: Procore Technologies
CEO: Ajei Gopal
Cost: Free app; enterprise subscription, quote-based

Procore is the most broadly adopted construction management platform on this list, covering project management, cost control, quality, safety, document management and field operations from a single connected system.

Founded in California, US in 2002 by Tooey Courtemanche after his own frustrating experience building a home, Procore went public in 2021.

It has since become a byword for digital transformation across the construction industry. 

Its mobile app lets general contractors, owners and subcontractors manage RFIs, submittals, daily logs, drawings, change orders and punch lists directly from site, syncing with the desktop platform in real time. 

Procore ranks first not because it posts the single highest star rating (Fieldwire and Raken edge it out numerically) but because it combines strong cross-platform reviews with the broadest enterprise coverage of any app in the category, making it the default choice for complex commercial construction portfolios.
