What Arc is
Arc is construction management software for custom, commercial, and production builders. It combines cost, schedule, field, and risk information with workflows for different building operations. Residential tools cover preconstruction CRM, estimating, proposals, selections, draw schedules, billing, approvals, online payments, and e-signing. Commercial workflows include schedules of values, pay applications, change orders, submittals, safety, and punch work. Production tools cover communities, lots, plan libraries, purchasing, start releases, VPO tracking, and sales through closing. Drawing sets support sheet detection, revisions, disciplines, and markups, while files retain version history. Receipt scanning, OCR, automatic renaming, and indexed search support document work. QuickBooks Online syncs both ways, and other systems can receive balanced journal exports. iOS field tools include logs, photo timelines, punch tracking, and selections. A seven-day sandbox trial can include one live job.
