Rehab Project Management / Estimating Software

Hi everyone!

I've outgrown my current systems and looking to streamline processes, I need some advice from those who are more experienced.

I'm currently using Insightly as a CRM for managing new potential deals that I have in the pipeline and zoho projects for current rehabs/project management and excel for estimating projects.

What are you guys who have more experience in real estate/construction using for managing your operations and projects?

It seems like there is a lack in software for real estate investors working on rehabs. Below is how I anticipate using the program, let me know if you know something similar that exists because I don't wanna have to build my own $$$$

1. I want to be able to walk through a new deal and measure sq of things like tile, flooring, paint, counters, and input the data into the program. The program should calculate costs.

2. Add the number of days it will take to complete and have the scope of work automatically populate a Gantt chart that adds up the hourly rate of a employee or contractor.

3. Track past project history (I want to be able all the data I've inputted into the program so I can use it to track and predict costs / schedules in the future)

4. Integrate with a type of accounting software so I'm not adding the same receipts multiple times (it'll probably have to have a API we could tie into with quickbooks or something similar)

5. Have my team be able to make real time edits like google drive/docs (that means cloud based, preferably a web app with iPhone and android apps)

Those are the main things. I want everything super organized so if someone has a question about scheduling or operations they can reference the software rather than ask me to dig through receipts or excel sheets.

What do you guys think? What are you all using? What are your recommendations? I'm open to anything.

Thanks!!!
