Construction software built around how builders actually run jobs

Know where your jobs actually stand - costs, claims, and margin - without chasing spreadsheets or waiting for your accountant.

Why CortexPM exists

If you build for a living, you already know the gap between the work and the software. Margin erosion, messy claims, and admin drag aren’t potential risks, they’re the weekly reality.

You manage live jobs and live risk - you need live data.

Existing tools handle one part of the job, not the whole thing.

CortexPM was built because nothing else worked like real Aussie builders work.

What CortexPM actually does

It solves the problems that quietly eat your margin: not knowing where costs are, losing track of variations, and fighting with your books.

Job & Cost Structure

Jobs are structured the way builders think about them. Costs stay visible as work progresses - without trimming the detail.

Variations, Scope & Margin Reality

Variations are tracked as they happen. Scope creep becomes visible instead of silent. Margin erosion shows early, not at EOFY.

Multi-Entity Done Properly

Separate entities, clean data boundaries, no cross-contamination. Built for real companies, not side hustles.

Financial Integration (Xero)

Independent connections per entity. No manual reconciliation gymnastics. Finance reflects reality, not spreadsheet tricks.

CRM + Takeoff That Flow Together

Contacts, opportunities, and takeoffs stay connected. Estimating flows into delivery instead of restarting the job in another system.

CortexPM in action

What CortexPM is not

It’s built for serious operators. If you want a simple app that tells you what you want to hear, this isn’t it.

Not for suppliers. Built for builders running multiple jobs.

Not trying to replace your judgement or experience.

Not pretending construction is simple or linear.

Not built by software developers.

Built for builders who run real jobs

Builders juggling multiple live jobs who can't afford to lose track.

Builders managing multiple entities or trusts.

Teams who've been burned by surprise losses at practical completion.

Builders who want fewer admin hours - not more software.

Onboarding made painless

No big bang changeover. Adopt it job by job and keep live projects moving.

Step 1

Start with one active job

Bring in a current project and use CortexPM alongside your existing process.

Step 2

See real cost visibility

Track variations, claims, and costs as they happen, without rework.

Step 3

Expand at your pace

Add more jobs and entities as the process proves itself.

Common Questions

Who built CortexPM?

We are Australian construction professionals - Project Managers, Estimators, Contract Administrators. We built CortexPM because we were tired of managing jobs with fragmented tools and spreadsheets that broke at scale.

Is this built for Australian builders?

Exclusively. It handles GST, retention, Master Builders/HIA contract structures, and Australian payment claim legislation natively. It’s not US software with the currency symbol changed.

How is this different from Procore or Buildertrend?

CortexPM is focused on financial control and commercial management. While others are great at site diaries and photos, we excel at job costing, variations, procurement, and contracts - the things that determine if you make a profit.

Is this software or consulting?

It is a software platform. However, our onboarding is hands-on because we know that "here's a login, good luck" doesn't work in construction.

Why did you build this?

To help builders. We watched too many good builders lose money on profitable jobs because they couldn't see their costs until it was too late.
