Frequently Asked Questions

Project Use
- What is Colorjob
  Colorjob is a real-time construction progress tracking platform built for multifamily developers, GCs, and homebuilders. It gives you a live visual grid of every floor, unit, and trade — so you can see exactly what's happening on your building, catch delays before they cost you, and stop relying on phone calls and spreadsheets.
- Who is Colorjob for?
  Colorjob is built for multifamily developers, general contractors, and homebuilders managing projects with multiple units and multiple trades. Developers use it to see live progress from their office. GCs use it to coordinate trades, set schedules, and catch delays early. Trade contractors use it to see exactly what's assigned to them and update their progress in seconds.
- What does Colorjob cost?
  Colorjob is priced at $2,000 per month per active project — not per user. Every plan includes unlimited users, so your entire team, all your trades, and your developer can access the project at no extra cost. Managing more than 3 projects? Ask us about our bundle pricing. One caught delay pays for a full year of Colorjob.
- How do I know it will actually help me save time?
  The average superintendent spends 2+ hours a day chasing status updates by phone and updating spreadsheets. With Colorjob, the morning site walk takes 15 minutes — they mark cells done as they walk, and every stakeholder sees the update instantly. No calls. No emails. No separate reports. GCs tell us Colorjob gives them back at least an hour every day — time they spend running the project instead of reporting on it.
- How does it compare to other project management software on the market?
  Most construction software like Procore was built for general contractors to manage their entire business — documents, RFIs, submittals, contracts. It's powerful but complex, expensive, and not purpose-built for multifamily unit tracking. Colorjob does one thing exceptionally well — it gives every stakeholder a live visual grid of every floor, unit, and trade in real time. No complexity, no training required, up and running in a day. At $2,000/month per project with unlimited users, it's also a fraction of the cost of enterprise construction software.
- Do I need to install any software or app?
  No — Colorjob runs entirely in your browser. No software to install, no app to download. Trades can update progress from their phone browser on site. Everyone accesses it from any device, anywhere.
- How long does it take to set up a project?
  Most projects are set up and ready to use within a day. Add your floors, units, and trades, invite your team, and you're live. No consultants, no training sessions, no onboarding calls required.
- Can my developer or lender see project progress?
  Yes — you can invite your developer, owner, or lender as a read-only viewer at no extra cost. They get a live view of the progress grid, delays tab, and milestone tracker without being able to edit anything. No more weekly status calls or manual PDF reports.

Features
- Can I track all areas of my project in real time?
  Yes — Colorjob's progress grid mirrors your building exactly. Set up every floor, unit, and trade once, and the superintendent updates each cell during their 15-minute morning site walk. Every stakeholder — developer, GC, lender — sees the update instantly from anywhere. No calls, no emails, no waiting for a weekly report.
- Does Colorjob work on mobile and tablet?
  Yes — Colorjob is fully optimized for mobile and tablet. Superintendents update the progress grid from their phone during the morning site walk. GCs and developers can check live project status from anywhere — office, car, or job site. No app download required for trade contractors — they access Colorjob directly from their mobile browser.
- How does the color coding work?
  Every cell in the progress grid is color coded by status — white for not started, green for done, orange for in progress, and red for an issue that needs attention. The Delays tab takes it further — it color codes every trade and unit by urgency so you can see at a glance what's falling behind and by how many days. No digging through spreadsheets — the color tells the whole story instantly.
- How does task management work in Colorjob?
  GCs can create tasks tied to specific floors, units, and trades — with a due date, priority, and status. Assign a task to one specific trade member or to the entire trade team at once. Every assignee gets notified by email and in-app. Trades see only the tasks assigned to them. GCs and managers see all tasks across the project. First person to complete a task closes it — no duplicate work, no confusion about who's responsible.
- Can I track materials and submittals in Colorjob?
  Yes — Colorjob's materials log tracks every material and submittal on your project. See what's been ordered, what's been approved, what's on site, and who's responsible — all in one place. Never hold up a trade because a submittal got lost in an email chain. Every material has a status and an owner so nothing falls through the cracks.
- What email notifications does Colorjob send?
  Colorjob sends email notifications for the key events that matter — when a task is assigned to you, when you're mentioned in a comment, when a task is completed, when a punch item status changes, and when a milestone is overdue. Trades only receive notifications relevant to their scope. GCs and managers receive notifications across the full project. All notifications include a direct link to the relevant item so you can act immediately without digging through the platform.
- How does Colorjob detect delays?
  Colorjob's Delays tab gives you a color-coded view of every trade and unit on your project, organized by urgency. Open it every morning and instantly see what's falling behind, by how many days, and which trades are responsible. Unlike a progress report that tells you what happened last week, the Delays tab shows you what's going wrong right now — so you can catch a problem on day one instead of after it's already cost you $40,000. No manual calculations, no chasing updates — the system flags delays automatically based on your project schedule.
- Can I duplicate floors when setting up a project?"
  Yes — if your building has identical or similar floors, you can duplicate a floor with one click. Colorjob automatically renames the units to match the new floor number so you don't have to do it manually.
