Arc

What Arc is

Arc is construction management software for custom, commercial, and production builders, bringing cost, schedule, field, and risk information into one platform. Its workflows cover different parts of the building business: residential teams can manage preconstruction CRM, estimating, proposals, selections, draw schedules, billing, client approvals, online payments, and e-signing. Commercial workflows include owner schedules of values, pay applications, change orders, submittal routing, safety, and punch tasks. Production teams can manage communities, lots, plan libraries, price-book purchasing, start releases, VPO tracking, and sales through closing.

Drawing sets support automatic sheet detection, revisions, disciplines, and markups, while centralized files keep version history. Document tools scan receipts, apply OCR, rename files automatically, and index records for search. Arc offers two-way QuickBooks Online sync and balanced journal exports for other accounting systems. On iOS, field teams can use daily logs, photo timelines, punch tracking, and selections. Plans start at $699/month, with pricing based on project volume or scale. A seven-day trial provides a working sandbox and can include one live job. Pricing includes unlimited active projects and document storage, plus client and subcontractor portals that do not use seats.

Who it suits

Arc suits builders that need cost, schedule, field, and risk workflows tailored to residential, commercial, or production work. It is intended for business use, with iOS field tools and workflows for clients and subcontractors.

Limits

The seven-day trial is limited to one week, though Arc can load one live job for evaluation. Arc Commercial and Arc Residential start at $699/month; Arc Production uses an annual enterprise agreement.

Getting started

1. Visit https://www.arcnaples.com/.
2. Choose Arc Residential, Arc Commercial, or Arc Production.
3. Request or review pricing based on project volume, users, communities, or annual closings.
4. Use the seven-day trial sandbox, with the option to load one live job.
5. Use the included migration, onboarding, setup, and training support.

Verdict

Choose Arc if your building business needs a shared platform with workflows for its project type and broad field, document, and accounting tools. Look elsewhere if a starting price of $699/month or the seven-day trial does not fit your needs.
