Overview

Knowify is cloud-based construction management software for trade contractors, covering electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painting, remodeling, concrete and excavation businesses. It combines bidding and proposals, project execution (contracts, change orders, scheduling, daily logs), service work dispatching, and financial management (job costing, invoicing, WIP reporting) in one system.

Knowify markets itself as built specifically to complement QuickBooks rather than replace it, positioning itself as a construction-specific front end for job costing, scheduling and field operations that pushes financial transactions into QuickBooks for accounting, tax and payroll.

The platform serves both project-based commercial contractors (fixed-price and AIA billing jobs) and service-based residential contractors running dispatch and appointment-based work.
