About Phixmo
By Phazahn Odom | Founder of Phixmo | Former bookkeeper for residential GCs | Former NFL tight end, Pittsburgh Steelers
Phixmo is an all-in-one construction management platform built specifically for small residential general contractors — typically 3 to 15 person crews. It brings estimating, invoicing with QuickBooks sync, change orders, a customer portal, subcontractor compliance tracking, geofenced time tracking, job costing, and Phix, its built-in AI assistant, into one place, so contractors running remodels, ADUs, and additions can manage the entire business without juggling spreadsheets, group texts, and disconnected tools.
(Phixmo is construction management software; it is unrelated to any similarly named supplement or consumer products.)
In short: Phixmo is the software that runs the business side of residential contracting, built by someone who did the books for general contractors.
Phixmo covers the full workflow of a residential construction project, from first estimate to final invoice.
Describe a job in plain English or upload a blueprint PDF, and Phixmo's AI generates a complete cost estimate in minutes, priced from your own completed jobs once you have history. The blueprint takeoff extracts measurements from a scale you calibrate in 2 clicks.
Track actual costs against your budget in real time, broken down by labor, materials, subcontractors, and equipment. Know whether a job is making or losing money while you can still act.
Generate branded contracts from your estimates and send them for electronic signature.
Create and send branded invoices with professional PDFs, emailed directly to customers.
Document scope changes, send them to customers for approval, and only bill once approved. This protects margin on the changes that happen on every project.
Crew members clock in with GPS geofencing, and their hours flow directly into job costing.
Homeowners track project progress, approve change orders, view documents, and message the contractor through a branded portal.
When a project completes, customers are prompted for a verified review with photos, building the contractor's reputation.
Invoices and customers push straight into QuickBooks Online — one way, with Phixmo owning the invoice numbers so both systems always match. Included on every plan.
A document checklist per subcontractor (W-9, insurance, license, contract, lien waiver) with 60-day expiry warnings — and on paid plans, Phixmo emails subs an upload link automatically when documents go missing or near expiry.
Answers how-to questions on every plan, answers questions about your own numbers on paid plans, and on Growth prepares real work you approve with one tap.
The AI takeoff and estimating tools are where most contractors start, and Phix, the built-in AI assistant, ties it together. See the full feature set on the residential contractor software overview.
Phixmo is built for small residential general contractors. That includes remodelers, ADU builders, room addition contractors, kitchen and bath specialists, deck builders, and design-build firms.
It's designed for the contractor running a small operation, often the owner who does the estimating, manages the crew, and handles the books, who needs professional tools without the complexity and cost of enterprise platforms built for large commercial builders.
If you're a residential GC who's been running on spreadsheets, group texts, and separate tools for estimates, contracts, and invoices, Phixmo is built to bring all of that into one place.
Three things set Phixmo apart.
Most construction software is built for large commercial builders and adapted down. Phixmo is built specifically for small residential contractors, so the features fit the work without enterprise complexity.
Most platforms charge per user, including field workers, at $30 to $50 per person per month. Phixmo makes field worker seats free. Your whole crew clocks in, submits receipts, and logs photos at no per-seat cost.
Phixmo's founder spent years doing the accounting for residential general contractors before building the platform. That experience shaped the features around where contractors actually lose money: inaccurate estimates, untracked job costs, and undocumented change orders.
See how Phixmo compares head-to-head with Buildertrend, Jobber, and Housecall Pro.
Phixmo has three plans, and every plan includes unlimited free field worker seats.

The Free plan is free forever, and a 30-day free trial of Pro or Growth is available any time. The rate you subscribe at stays your rate. See full details on the pricing page.
Phixmo was founded by Phazahn Odom. Before building Phixmo, Phazahn spent years doing accounting and bookkeeping for residential general contractors, seeing firsthand where contractors made and lost money. Earlier in his career, he played in the NFL as a tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers after playing college football at Fordham University.
That combination, deep familiarity with the financial realities of residential construction plus the discipline to build something from the ground up, is what shaped Phixmo into a platform focused on the financial and operational side of contracting.
