Fieldwire by Hilti

Summary

Fieldwire by Hilti is construction management software built around what actually happens on the jobsite: crews working from plans, supervisors assigning work, teams closing punch items, and stakeholders needing a clear record of what was done. The product is much more field-first than finance-first. That is why it tends to fit general contractors, specialty contractors, and owners that need better coordination in active construction rather than a broad enterprise system centered on back-office controls.

That positioning matters. Fieldwire is not trying to be the most expansive construction platform in the market. Its value is speed, clarity, and adoption in the field. The platform puts plans, tasks, markups, inspections, forms, reports, and progress documentation in one place across web, iPhone, iPad, and Android. If your main problem is that the field and office are still coordinating work through paper, email, spreadsheets, and disconnected photo trails, Fieldwire is in the right conversation.

Fieldwire is also now clearly branded as Fieldwire by Hilti, which gives buyers a more established parent brand than the company’s earlier standalone identity while the product itself still reads as a dedicated field coordination platform rather than a generic software add-on.

Pricing

Fieldwire is more transparent on pricing than many construction PM vendors. Its pricing page publishes four standard plans: Basic at $0 per user per month, Pro at $39 per user per month billed annually, Business at $64 per user per month billed annually, and Business Plus at $89 per user per month billed annually. The same page also advertises custom contracts for buyers that need unlimited user options, tailored training, dedicated success support, API access, or single sign-on.

That pricing structure is one of Fieldwire’s biggest practical advantages. Buyers can start small, understand the pricing model quickly, and avoid the all-or-nothing quote process that is common in construction software. The catch is that some of the more advanced project-management workflows live in the higher tiers, so the real cost depends on whether you only need field coordination or also need RFIs, submittals, change orders, budget tooling, and deeper admin controls.

Key features

Fieldwire’s product pages consistently emphasize a field execution layer built around coordination and documentation:

• Task management connected to plans, locations, photos, videos, and real-time messaging.
• Mobile plan viewing with version control, slip-sheeting, and as-built markups.
• Punch lists, inspections, and issue tracking for field quality and closeout work.
• Scheduling support for short-interval planning and upcoming work coordination.
• Reports, exports, and custom forms for standardized field documentation.
• BIM viewer, document management, and specifications support for project teams.
• RFIs, submittals, change orders, and budget workflows on higher-tier plans.
• Historical proof-of-work records that help reduce disputes and handoff confusion.

The pattern across those modules is consistent: Fieldwire is strongest where teams need one live project record that the field can actually use every day. It is less about deep corporate portfolio controls and more about reducing rework, lost information, and coordination drag on active jobsites.

Integrations

Fieldwire’s integrations page positions the platform as a hub for connected construction workflows rather than a closed system. The live integrations materials explicitly reference Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, QuickBooks, and Power BI, and Fieldwire also promotes a REST API for custom integrations and data syncing.

That mix is sensible for the type of buyer Fieldwire serves. Document storage, reporting, and accounting connectivity matter more here than a huge marketplace of long-tail apps. For many contractors, the practical question is whether Fieldwire can plug into the systems already handling files, reporting, and accounting. The answer appears to be yes, though the most advanced connectivity still sits closer to the higher-end buying path than the free entry point.

Pros

Fieldwire’s biggest advantage is focus. The software understands that many construction teams do not need a massive enterprise rollout to get value. They need the latest drawings, clear task ownership, punch tracking, inspections, reports, and a clean record of field activity. Fieldwire keeps that core workflow front and center, and that is a major reason it is easier to picture in the hands of supers, foremen, and subcontractor teams.

The other major strength is packaging. Transparent pricing, a free plan, and support for both smaller teams and very large project portfolios make Fieldwire easier to evaluate than many construction PM alternatives. It can serve as a lightweight entry point for teams modernizing from paper while still offering enough higher-tier functionality for more mature contractors and owner-side teams.

Cons

Fieldwire’s focus is also its limitation. Buyers looking for the deepest financial controls, portfolio governance, or ERP-adjacent construction accounting will likely outgrow it or need to pair it with other systems. Even though the platform includes project-management features like RFIs, submittals, change orders, and budget on upper tiers, the product still feels centered on field coordination first.

There is also some plan-gating to watch. The free and lower paid tiers are compelling, but teams that want the fuller project-management stack, integrations, or enterprise controls may end up climbing into Business, Business Plus, or custom contract territory faster than expected. That does not make the pricing bad, but it does mean buyers should map required workflows to plan limits before assuming the entry price reflects the real rollout cost.
