Chalkstring overview

What is Chalkstring?

Chalkstring is a cloud-based software designed to help construction contractors and subcontractors streamline project estimating, procurement, job costing, and progress tracking operations via a unified portal. It enables businesses to measure construction areas, lines, and perimeters, and import and mark up drawings with sketches and comments.

The application allows managers to create tender documentation and proposals, view material or labor bills, allocate budgets, and generate custom reports. It offers a variety of features such as change order management, custom templates, what-if analysis, document management, collaboration, analytics, and more. Chalkstring also lets employees manage bids, maintain audit logs, interact with suppliers, compare products, and analyze expenses, accruals, and rebates in real-time.

Chalkstring enables organizations to ensure compliance with ISO quality procedures and analyze the impact of variations on materials, labor, and financial forecasts. It also helps supervisors verify and approve subcontractor applications and capture and store project data in a centralized repository.
