What Is FACS?

FACS is a cloud-based construction project management software for owners, construction managers, and contractors. It is configured around the forms and documents that a company already uses. This way, teams can manage project information without switching to unfamiliar formats. Users can record field data, review project documents, track costs, and access project-level reports and dashboards. Moreover, its mobile application also supports fieldwork when internet access is unavailable.

What Is FACS Best For?

The software is best known for its mobile functionality that connects field teams to project documents while they are onsite. Its mobile app lets field staff create, submit, review, and approve field reports, RFIs, design changes, and project issues from smartphones or tablets. Real-time notifications alert users at the moment a document needs their attention. Furthermore, it supports offline use, which helps crews working in areas with weak or no signal.

How Much Does FACS Cost?

FACS pricing starts at $30/user/month. Apart from the base subscription cost, organizations should consider the following additional estimates: 

  • Implementation: Typically estimated at $1,000–$5,000+ for platform setup, project configuration, user roles, existing form setup, and deployment assistance
  • Data Migration: Generally estimated between $500–$3,500+, depending on the volume of project records, documents, equipment data, custom lists, and other historical information being transferred
  • Training And Onboarding: Usually estimated at $250–$1,500+ for administrator onboarding, field and office staff training, and guidance on using configured project documents and reports
  • Customization And Configuration: Typically ranges from $1,000–$7,500+ for recreating existing construction forms, configuring approval processes, custom reports, dashboards, permissions, and API based connections

FACS Use Cases

Based on FACS features, we identified several scenarios where the platform can fit project teams:

Large Construction Programs Managing Project Documentation

Large construction programs can generate substantial paperwork as work progresses across locations and project teams. Finding the right information becomes difficult when records are spread across separate systems. FACS can bring project documents into a shared application. As a result, teams can spend less time locating and handling project information.

Field Teams Recording Jobsite Activity

Construction teams lose valuable context when site observations are recorded later from memory or transferred from paper notes. FACS software supports recording work directly from the jobsite through its mobile application. Field staff can document activity as it occurs. This improves the quality and timeliness of information available to project managers.

Project Teams Managing Jobsite Photos

Site photos become difficult to retrieve when they remain scattered across individual phones, cameras, or separate storage locations. The platform provides a mobile approach for capturing, editing, storing, and accessing construction photos. This helps teams maintain visual records alongside other project information when documenting site conditions or completing work.

Construction Managers Addressing Project Risk

Construction managers struggle to see broader risk patterns when their attention is divided among issues occurring across a project. FACS supports project data collection and reporting that can help managers examine developing concerns from a wider perspective. This is suitable for teams that need clearer information when assessing risks before problems become harder to manage.

Is FACS Right For You?

If your construction team wants a solution that can be configured around the forms and documents it already uses, FACS is a suitable choice. During onboarding, the software’s team works with the team to set up the platform based on those existing materials. First-time deployments also include hands-on training, followed by access to a dedicated account manager.

FACS keeps field and office teams connected through a native mobile app that works both online and offline, so crews can create, review, and approve documents directly from the job site. Its cost control module links automatically to field work reports, which makes site data immediately available for financial reporting.

FACS Features

Cost Management

FACS software supports several construction cost activities within the same application. Construction managers can record quantities, manage change orders, monitor material acceptance, track stockpiles, and report on funding sources. Overrun alerts can help teams identify potential cost concerns while preparing and reviewing pay estimates.

Email Notifications

The tool provides configurable email notifications that can be attached to different document types. Teams may use these notifications to receive updates when relevant project activity occurs. This helps construction managers and other project participants stay informed about document-related changes without repeatedly checking each project's record.

See How It Works
Dashboards Indicators

FACS features dashboards that allow teams to create custom dashboard indicators for a high-level look at individual projects or broader programs. These indicators help construction managers review project status without examining each record separately. Teams overseeing several projects can use the dashboard to identify areas that require closer attention.

See How It Works
Reports

The platform generates reports across individual projects or an entire FACS portal. Teams can use integrated alerts within reports to track areas such as payments, materials, labor, and equipment. This helps managers review related project information together and spot items that need further investigation.
