Every construction and renovation project runs on the same handful of documents: the scope, the estimate, the budget, the schedule, the pay application, and the invoice. On most job sites those documents still live in different spreadsheets, inboxes, and apps, so the general contractor, the subcontractors, and the owner are rarely looking at the same numbers at the same time.
PointGauge, one of CodeLux's flagship software projects, was built to fix that. PointGauge is AI-powered construction and renovation management software that takes a job from the first site walk to the final invoice in one place, and it is now helping GCs, subcontractors, and their clients run projects ranging from single-family remodels and multifamily unit turns to commercial tenant improvements and municipal work.
One Platform From Site Walk to Final Invoice
PointGauge replaces the patchwork of tools most teams rely on with a single, connected workflow. The PointGauge platform covers:
- Estimating and budgets: build costed estimates by division, then convert an approved estimate straight into a working budget.
- AIA-style pay applications: progress billing against a schedule of values, with retainage and G702/G703 export.
- Invoicing and receipts: invoices with PDF export and receipts captured from the field instead of the dashboard of a truck.
- Schedules: milestones, linked tasks, and a critical path that stays tied to the budget.
- Client portal: owners and clients see progress, documents, and billing without another round of emails.
- Dashboards and role-based access: everyone sees what they need, and nothing they shouldn't.
Built for Everyone on the Job
Construction software often serves only one seat at the table. PointGauge was designed around the relationships that actually make a project work:
- General contractors get one source of truth for scope, cost, schedule, and billing across every active job.
- Subcontractors can estimate, track their own budgets, and produce clean pay applications without enterprise-level software or training.
- Owners and clients get real-time visibility through the client portal, which builds trust and shortens approval cycles.
That flexibility is why PointGauge is being used across residential remodeling, multifamily renovations, commercial projects, and municipal work. A kitchen-and-bath remodeler, a multifamily team managing unit turns and building-wide rehabs, and a public agency overseeing facility upgrades all work from the same platform, configured to fit their projects. You can see how each segment uses it on the PointGauge solutions page.
Easy to Use, So Crews Actually Use It
The best software in the world doesn't help if the field won't open it. PointGauge runs entirely in the browser, so there is no app to install, and it was designed so that a superintendent, a project manager, or a client can find what they need without a training manual.
“PointGauge is the first construction software our whole team actually adopted. Our team can walk a site, and instead of having to remember what we said, PointGauge can create all of the project data for us with a single video. The scope, estimate, and schedule are just ready to review. Our clients love being able to see exactly where their project stands.”
AI That Does Real Work, With People in Control
Plenty of software claims to use AI. PointGauge puts it where it saves the most time:
- Site walk to project. Record a walkthrough on your phone and upload it. PointGauge's assistant drafts a scope of work, a costed estimate by division, and a task list with a linked schedule and critical path. Nothing is created until you review it, and the video itself is never stored.
- A project-scoped virtual assistant. Ask questions in plain English (“Are we over budget on electrical?” “What's on the critical path this week?”) and get answers drawn from that project's budget, schedule, and files.
- Drafts, not surprises. The assistant can draft updates like shifting a schedule or adjusting a budget line, but nothing is written until a person reviews it and presses Apply.
The result is AI that removes hours of data entry and digging through files without taking decisions away from the people accountable for the project.
Shaped by Real Teams in the Field
PointGauge didn't start on a whiteboard. Its workflows grew out of CodeLux's hands-on work alongside renovation and construction companies, including a renovation and construction firm whose field reporting automation we've written about before, and several multifamily owners and operators managing unit turns and capital projects across their portfolios. The lessons from those engagements, from receipts lost between the job site and the office to pay apps rebuilt by hand every month, are built directly into the product.
PointGauge is also working with a select group of design partners who help shape the roadmap and get their teams set up for free. If your company is interested, you can reach out from the CodeLux projects page.
