What Tenon is
Tenon is construction management software for working contractors, bringing project and business workflows into one system. Its tools cover estimates, proposals, Gantt scheduling, daily logs, budgets, invoicing, change orders, RFIs, and client portals. Sage, its AI assistant, answers project questions, cites records, drafts change orders and proposals, and uses per-user permissions.
Native iOS and Android apps provide field logs, timers, and RFIs; the iOS app also supports Apple Watch and CarPlay. Tenon lists QuickBooks sync for invoicing and an MCP integration connecting to Claude.ai and other MCP clients. Field workers, subcontractors, and clients are free on every plan, while paid seats are for office users. Starter costs $49 per user per month and includes up to three Builder seats and unlimited Field seats. Pro is $129 per user per month, and Enterprise is $249 per user per month. There is no free plan, but a 30-day trial is offered. Data is stored in AWS Canada (ca-central-1), and customers can export it to CSV, PDF, or JSON.
