“A fair system in an unfair world.”

John O'Neill, Founder & CEO, K.O. CO+RE Systems
STOP. DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

The Industry Gave You
The Wrong Tools.

Chasing invoices instead of running jobs
Following up on payments, re-sending proposals, tracking who's paid what. It's a part-time job on top of your real job.
Estimates in Word. Invoices in Excel. Crew texts.
Your business runs across 6 different apps and none of them talk to each other. Things fall through the cracks.
You don't know your real margin until it's too late
By the time you add up materials, labor, and change orders, the job is done and the damage is done.
$400+/month for software that doesn't fit
Buildertrend, JobNimbus, CoConstruct: built for big companies, priced for them too. You're paying for features you'll never use.

Generic AI Doesn't Know Your Trade.

Ask a generic chatbot to price your bid and it'll guess. It's never seen a framing job. It doesn't know your labor rates, your margins, or what Menards pays you back. PQ Intelligence isn't generic. It's the engine built into K.O. CO+RE, trained on how contractors actually bid, run jobs, and get paid. It knows your numbers, and it gets sharper every time you use it.

Your Bids. Your Wins. Your Edge.

The Full System

Everything Your Day Runs On, In One Place.

Seven tools that carry a job from bid to bank. The rest is included, not bolted on.
Bid it

Estimate Builder

Build proposals by phase: demo, framing, rough-ins, finishes. Client-ready PDFs in minutes.

Run it

Job Tracker

Materials budget vs. actuals, labor pulled straight from the crew clock, and real-time profit and margin, while the job is still running.

Manage the crew

Crew Clock & Scheduling

Clock in/out by job, assign crew by day, and see who's where at a glance. Labor flows into job costing automatically.

Get paid

Invoicing & Reminders

Progress-payment invoicing structured your way, with automatic reminder sequences that adjust tone the later a check gets.

Know your real costs

Receipt Scanner

Snap it and forget it. Every receipt is read and logged down to the individual line item: what you bought, what you paid, which store, what day. That's the record PQ prices your next bid from.

Get money back

Store Rebate Tracker

Track every receipt across Menards, Lowe's, and Home Depot. K.O. CO+RE calculates what you're owed and reminds you before every deadline: thousands most contractors leave on the table.

Look like the pro

Client Portal

Your clients get their own login to view proposals, sign contracts, track progress, and pay. No more group-text chaos.

Native Bilingual: English & Spanish

Roughly a third of the construction workforce is Hispanic, and almost no contractor software speaks to them. K.O. CO+RE does: every screen, every portal, one tap to switch.

EN / ES

Everything else, included:

Straight From The App

Real Screens. Real Numbers.

This is the actual app, running a real operation — not a mockup. Every screen built for a phone on a job site.

PQ Intelligence: Your Bids. Your Wins. Your Edge. Get Yours.
POWERED BY PQ INTELLIGENCE

The Edge You've Always Had. You Just Didn't Know It.

Your jobs, your margins, your history: that edge has been sitting in every project you've ever run. PQ is what finally puts it to work: an intelligence engine that learns your business and gets sharper every time you use it. Not a generic bot bolted on. Yours.

Your Bids. Your Wins. Your Edge.

NEWPQ Vision: walk the job, snap a few photos and notes, and PQ turns it into a personalized, contractor-confirmed estimate. AI proposes, you decide. It never invents a number.

PQ Chat

Talk To Your Business.

Every contractor app stores your numbers. Most of them make you go dig for them. PQ Chat answers — from your receipts, your invoices, your jobs — and cites where every number came from. You're pricing a job at 9 PM and you know you bought that LVP three jobs ago — normally that's twenty minutes of digging through receipts. Now you just ask.

Ask PQ — on any estimate, any job
What did I pay for LVP?
PQ
From your receipts: Menards, June 14 — cited by store and date, not a guess.
What’s unbilled on the Behm job?
PQ
Real number, from your actual invoices — invoiced, paid, outstanding, in seconds.
Generate a takeoff from the plans.
PQ
Reads the printed dimensions, works up quantities by trade, prices what you’ve bought before — and hands it all back as review cards. Tap Apply on the ones you want.
Give me that as a spreadsheet for the supplier.
PQ
Clean RFQ, Excel-ready — item, quantity, unit, notes, price columns left blank for the yard — as a download link right in the chat. Send it and go to bed.

Built to be trusted on a bid

  • PQ never invents a number. Prices come from your purchase history with the store and date cited, or they’re marked “to be priced.” Period.
  • Every quantity is flagged to verify. PQ reads dimensions off your plans verbatim, shows its math — and still tells you to field-verify.
  • PQ proposes; you decide. Nothing touches your estimate until you tap Apply.
  • General knowledge is labeled. When PQ reasons from trade experience instead of your data, it says so.
  • Your supplier sheet stays clean. Exports carry no internal pricing, no markup, no margin.
  • Every price traces to a line on a real receipt. Store, date, item — you can pull up the receipt it came from.
Your price memory

Answers from your scanned receipts and material logs, cited by store and date.

Job money at a glance

Invoiced, paid, outstanding, unbilled, labor hours — asked in plain English.

PQ has eyes

It looks at your walkthrough photos and plans — “what kind of roof is this?” gets answered from the photo.

Takeoff Mode

Plans in, trade-sectioned material takeoff out — every line with its quantity, basis, and a verify flag.

Supplier RFQ export

One ask turns the takeoff into an Excel-ready pricing sheet, delivered in the chat.

Keeps working when you don’t

Send a big ask, close the app, drive to the site. The answer is waiting in the thread.

Ask PQ anywhere

Every estimate and every job has its own running conversation that remembers the project.

English y Español

PQ replies in the language you write in.

Built by a working general contractor who got tired of being his own office staff. PQ Chat is the estimator’s second brain: it remembers every receipt, reads every plan, drafts every list — and never, ever guesses with your money.
