The CRM for general contractors that keeps every trade in sequence

NexusCRM is flat-priced in CAD with unlimited users: Core is $295/month plus $2,950 one-time implementation, Pro is $425/month plus $5,500 (the fit for most general contractors running multiple subs and site crews), and Elite is $795/month plus $9,800 for established multi-crew operations that need custom workflows. For comparison, Buildertrend typically runs $666–$833/month, ServiceTitan runs $245–$500 per technician per month plus $5,000–$15,000 implementation, and JobNimbus runs $225–$550 base plus $25–$75 per user (public pricing pages and verified user reports, August 2026). Annual prepay earns two months free, financed implementation is available, and the AI Caller for inbound, outbound and follow-up calls is an optional add-on from $297/month.

Yes. Invoices carry payment schedule milestones, so a $143,000 addition can be billed as a deposit plus progress draws tied to stages such as foundation, framing, rough-ins, and substantial completion. Many contractors put the statutory holdback on its own milestone so it is tracked separately and billed when it comes due. Payments are recorded against each milestone, status moves from Pending to Partial to Paid automatically, receivables aging shows what is 30, 60, or 90+ days out, and HST is handled natively on every draw. NexusCRM tracks the money; confirm the holdback rules for your contract with your own lawyer or advisor.

Each trade's work is a scheduled visit or task on the project. The crew calendar shows month and week views coloured by crew lead with multi-day spans, and every change is pushed to multiple Google Calendar accounts by a background worker within about 60 seconds. Tasks can be marked Blocked with a required reason — waiting on framing inspection, waiting on HVAC rough-in — so nobody books insulation before the inspection passes. Everyone assigned to a visit gets an automatic 6 PM reminder the evening before, plus added and removed notifications, and field staff only see the jobs they are assigned to.

Revise the quote, price the change, and send it for online acceptance. The owner or client approves on their phone with a typed signature, and that version is stored as an immutable signed snapshot with IP address and timestamp. The revision history shows exactly what changed between versions, invoice PDFs keep an immutable version history, and billing charges exactly what was accepted. On multi-phase work, each phase is its own project inside a project group, so a change on phase two lands on phase two's P&L instead of muddying the whole job.

The subcontractor directory shows one combined balance for each sub, whether you pay them through logged labour, their invoices, or both, with HST attributed per CRA gross-payment rules. Sub invoices and materials land on the job as categorized expenses with receipt uploads, labour is costed at pay rates locked when the crew was assigned, and recoverable HST is tracked separately, so the live per-job P&L shows real margin while the project is still open. Payouts can be marked paid one at a time or in bulk, with a CSV of everything just paid for your bookkeeper.

Yes. The AI Caller is a NexusAI add-on, from $297/month, built on NLPearl voice agents and wired to NexusCRM through n8n. It answers your line 24/7, asks the questions your estimator would — project type, location, size, budget range, whether drawings and permits are underway, and timeline — and transfers the caller to you when they want a person. When the call ends, the lead lands in NexusCRM with a summary and transcript, tagged AI Caller, so you can decide which jobs are worth a site walk. It also calls new web and Meta leads within minutes and follows up on bids that have not been accepted. It identifies itself as an AI assistant, and outbound calls only go to people who contacted you or asked for a quote.
