We are working on something big!
😁 ConGenius "Infinity" (version name) is designed to help contractors run their business from start to finish in one clean, powerful system.
We’ve been quietly building the next version of ConGenius—one that has the potential to fundamentally change how contractors run their business day to day. Not just estimating. Not just catalogs. The entire workflow.
The next version of ConGenius is code-named Infinity, because it represents a massive leap forward from what exists today.
Infinity includes major new capabilities including invoicing, change orders, selections, estimate versions, and a fully rebuilt document experience—along with much more. We’ll go into detail further down.
ConGenius today gives contractors a glimpse of what’s possible.
It has a clean interface.
It delivers a solid estimating experience.
It removes a lot of friction compared to the tools most contractors are used to.
For many teams, that alone is already a meaningful upgrade.
But ConGenius today is not the full vision. Not even close.
From the beginning, the goal was never to build another estimating tool. Our goal was to build an end-to-end system that helps contractors actually run their business.
What exists today is a stepping stone toward that.
It took an enormous amount of work to get here. And just as importantly, it taught us a lot—about real workflows, real constraints, and where software still falls short.
ConGenius Infinity is what comes next.
Infinity is the version of ConGenius that allows us to finally build the system we set out to build from day one.
Fast
Clear
Deep without being complicated
Powerful without requiring a specialist to operate
You shouldn’t have to hire someone to run your software.
You should hire software so you don’t need that person.
The real beauty of Infinity is that it’s powerful without being intimidating. You don’t need a specialist, a consultant, or a “software person” on your team to make it work.
It just makes sense.
Infinity uses a local-first architecture, which makes the app blazing fast. Once the app is loaded, most of the system continues to work even with limited or no internet connection. This matters in the real world—on jobsites, in trucks, and in imperfect conditions.
The user interface was redesigned so we can add significantly more depth without making the system harder to use. Clean workflows. Clear structure. Software that makes sense the first time you touch it. It builds on what we’ve already done and takes it much further.
We’re introducing a brand-new document experience. Instead of being locked into a single rigid template, you’ll be able to create and modify document templates and build all of your documents directly inside ConGenius—estimates, proposals, change orders, contracts, selections, and more. You can customize your branding however you want.
Infinity includes invoicing, designed to leverage data from your estimate so there’s less data entry and fewer handoffs. The goal is to help you get paid faster, with less friction.
You’ll be able to create multiple versions of an estimate for a single project. Real projects evolve, and estimates should be able to evolve with them. You can present multiple estimate options to a customer without rebuilding everything from scratch.
We’re adding optional items (upgrades), selections, and allowances, so customers can clearly see their choices and you can manage them cleanly throughout the job.
Change orders is another new feature we've built from the ground up and it's fully connected to the new document system.
Infinity includes task and checklist management, making it easier to track work across projects without relying on external tools.
We’re also adding additional user roles, including superintendents, crew, and office staff. You’ll be able to control what each role sees and does in the app.
The catalog is receiving major upgrades, including taxes and markup at the item level, improved tagging, and hundreds of refinements that make it easier to maintain and scale.
The assembly builder is being significantly improved—more powerful, but simpler to use. Those of you who’ve been with us from the beginning will especially notice the difference here.
The estimating experience is getting major upgrades, including cost codes, better organization options, and faster estimate building. You’ll be able to automatically organize items based on item type, cost code, or trade, rather than being limited to sections alone.
Files and takeoffs are receiving substantial improvements, including much faster document access, simplified and more powerful takeoff workflows, and markup and collaboration on documents.
We’re improving the project board and project list, adding new filters, sorting options, and an optional leads board for companies that manage a high volume of opportunities.
Infinity introduces a brand-new settings and onboarding experience, so company defaults like markup, tax rates, and structure are configured up front and only once.
The platform will support the metric system and multiple currencies across the app, something many of our Canadian and international users have been asking for.
The CRM (customers module) is being significantly improved, including the ability to attach files directly to customers.
We’re also adding notes and comments across many areas of the app—items, customers, estimates, and more—so context lives with the work, not in someone’s head.
And that list is just a snapshot. Infinity includes hundreds of additional improvements we’re excited to ship. And this release isn't the end either — we have big plans to integrate full accounting this year as well.
I spent about 15 years as a carpenter and then contractor. Over the course of my experience, I built and remodeled over 200 homes.
During that time, I used just about every tool on the market. Some were powerful. Some were simple. None of them ever really worked the way I thought contractors actually work. I heard a lot of the same from others.
Every system had tradeoffs:
Powerful, but slow and bloated
Flexible, but confusing and hard to integrate
Or some were so complex and expensive you had to hire someone just to run the software
Those weaknesses still exist today.
Most construction software is built backwards. It’s built around accounting constraints, feature checklists, and pricing models. Very little of it is built around how contractors actually think, estimate, communicate, and execute work.
That’s why teams end up with:
Multiple disconnected tools
Messy workflows
Expensive software stacks
And eventually, someone whose full-time job is “running the software”
ConGenius exists to remove that friction.
Infinity is the product I wish I had when I was still running jobs.
If this resonates with you, I’d love to have you be part of what we’re building next.
