San Diego Contractor Software
By Phazahn Odom | Founder of Phixmo | Former bookkeeper for residential GCs | Former NFL tight end, Pittsburgh Steelers
Phixmo was built after years of doing accounting and consulting for residential general contractors in San Diego. The platform reflects what San Diego GCs actually deal with: high project values, a booming ADU market, tight margins in a competitive market, and the specific workflows of California residential construction.
If you're a San Diego remodeler, ADU builder, or addition contractor, Phixmo was built with your work in mind.
San Diego residential construction has characteristics that shaped how Phixmo was built.
California's ADU-friendly legislation has made San Diego one of the hottest ADU markets in the country. Phixmo has dedicated tools for ADU projects: AI takeoffs from plans, permit and inspection tracking, phased milestone billing, and job costing built for the complex cost structure of ADU builds.
San Diego's high cost of living means high project values, but also high labor and material costs that squeeze margins. Real-time job costing protects your margin in a market where every dollar counts.
San Diego has a lot of contractors competing for work. Fast, professional estimates and a polished client experience help you win bids against the competition.
California's permitting and inspection requirements are involved. Phixmo's permit and inspection tracking keeps your compliance organized across projects.
Six capabilities tuned to a high-cost, ADU-heavy, competitive market.
Win competitive San Diego bids with fast, accurate estimates. Upload plans for an AI takeoff or describe a job for an instant estimate. Phixmo prices it from your own completed San Diego jobs, your real labor rates and sub costs in this market, with San Diego regional pricing filling the gaps until your history builds.
With San Diego's ADU boom, Phixmo's ADU support matters: takeoffs from ADU plans, permit tracking, milestone billing for phased ADU payments, and job costing for the 15 to 20 cost categories of an ADU build.
Protect margin in a high-cost market. Track labor, materials, and subs against budget as the job runs, catching overruns before they erode your profit.
Stay organized with California's permit and inspection requirements. Track every permit, expiration date, and inspection across all your projects.
Stand out in a competitive market with a professional client experience and verified reviews tied to completed San Diego projects.
Your crew participates at no per-seat cost, which matters when San Diego labor is already expensive.

The job costing reflects where San Diego GCs actually lose money. The ADU tools reflect the realities of San Diego's ADU boom. The estimation accounts for San Diego's cost structure.
