General contractor software for estimates, change orders and job cost
Remodels and repairs live or die on scope, change orders and job cost. YardPilot's general contracting setup prices demo, framing, drywall and remodels from your costs, collects deposits, and keeps every change the customer approves on record.
Common problems in general contracting businesses
- Scope creep that never makes it onto an invoice
- Deposits tracked in spreadsheets
- No view of real job cost until it's too late
How YardPilot helps
General contracting starter catalog
Project management, demolition, framing, drywall, kitchen and bath remodels, flooring, painting, permits and dumpsters.

Deposit invoices and change orders

Frequently asked questions
How much does YardPilot cost for a general contracting business?
Plans are $59/month (Starter), $129/month (Growth), $249/month (Professional) and $449/month (Business), with yearly billing available (two months free), and crew logins are included in every plan. Every plan includes estimates, scheduling, invoicing and the customer portal; plans differ by team size, monthly AI usage and advanced proposal features.
Can my crew see my costs and margins?
No. Cost profiles, service costs and profitability are visible only to owners and managers. Technicians see their assigned jobs, checklists and photos — never prices, costs or other customers.
Is my data separate from other businesses?
Yes. Every record is tied to your business and access is enforced in the database, not just the app screens. YardPilot runs automated tests that try to read and change another business's data and confirm every attempt is blocked.
