It depends on the company. Procore suits commercial general contractors running large projects with many parties. Buildertrend and JobTread suit home builders and remodelers. Fieldwire is the cheapest way to get drawings and tasks on site, and Contractor Foreman packs the most features into a low price. If your problem is job costs and margin rather than site admin, Planyard sits on top of QuickBooks or Xero and tracks budgets, committed costs, change orders and forecasts per job.

For a few small jobs, yes, using projects or classes. QuickBooks does not track committed costs from purchase orders and subcontracts, change orders against a contract, or a forecast final cost per job, so most contractors add a construction tool on top and keep QuickBooks for bookkeeping, payroll and taxes.
Procore is built for commercial general contractors and owners: drawings, RFIs, submittals and project financials, priced on annual construction volume with unlimited users. Buildertrend is built for home builders and remodelers: sales, proposals, client portal, schedules and job costing, from $499 a month.
