The Contractor's Competitive Edge
CostMate was built with one mission: give every contractor the financial clarity and operational control that Fortune 500 companies enjoy — without the complexity.
Built by a Contractor, for Contractors
For decades, I was just like you — going between multiple systems or drowning in Word Documents and spreadsheets. Out of frustration and learning how to truly operate a contracting business, I built a tool to track every penny in my company — and to what project. Unknowingly over the years, the foundation for CostMate Suite was created. And before I knew it, other contractors were begging to use it.
In 2020 when the world seemed to shut down, it became so apparent how streamlining processes, becoming more efficient, and tracking every cost became. I knew every contractor needed it and today CostMate helps thousands work smarter with clear budgets, organized crews, informed customers, and no more financial guesswork!
