Why Synhelm exists
Built by a contractor, for contractors.
Synhelm was built by Max, a contractor who still works on site with his crew. He was paying for three different apps to get the handful of features he actually used, so he built one that does exactly that.
Three apps. Three logins. Three bills.
Photos in one. Crew and hours in another. Estimates and invoices in a third. Each one did a hundred things. We needed a few of them, working together, on the jobs we were already running.
So we built the few things that matter, and made them talk to each other.
The job sits in the middle. Crew clock in with a PIN. Photos, safety sheets, tasks and hours land on the job. The estimate becomes the job, and the job becomes the invoice, without typing the same information twice.
Synhelm runs our own jobs first.
Our own crew uses it every day. Every screen gets used on a real site, by a real crew, before it reaches you.
“We built Synhelm because we needed it ourselves.”

How it works
One job. Everything attached.
Not five hundred features. The essential parts of a construction business, connected around the job — so the office and the field look at the same thing. No bloat, no AI gimmicks.

The crew clock in to the job. Safety sheets, hours, photos and plans land on it. The estimate becomes the job, and the job becomes the invoice, without typing the same information twice. How our construction management software works.
Set it up in an afternoon. Free for up to 5 crew.
What the crew does
Clock in, pick the job, back to work.
Your crew opens one link on their phone and enters their PIN. No app store, no email accounts. It's built to be quick with gloves on, not another thing to manage on site.
- Safety sheet at clock-in and job change, with signatures and photos
- Switch jobs, take breaks, and see the job scope and their tasks
- Photos and plans for the job they're on, several photos at a time
- Punches and photos wait on the phone with no signal, then send
Your crew can be clocking in today.
