MyConstruct

MyConstruct is a cloud-based construction management platform designed for builders, tradies, and subcontractors. The core product covers job management, estimating, quoting, invoicing, purchase ordering, timesheets, task management, scheduling with Gantt charts, and lead/opportunity management with an integrated address book. It includes a graphical takeoff tool for measuring quantities from plans, and a reporting suite for tracking financials across jobs. The platform is entirely web-based and works on any device with a modern browser. It targets small to medium construction businesses in Australia, New Zealand, and the US who want to move away from spreadsheets and paper-based workflows. MyConstruct also offers white-label solutions where partners can run a branded instance of the platform, as well as custom software development for construction businesses.

MyConstruct uses a straightforward per-user monthly subscription model priced in Australian dollars (including GST). There are three tiers: Trade at $19.95 per user per month (max 2 users), which covers quoting, invoicing, job management, opportunities, address book, timesheets, calendars, tasks, checklists, and Xero integration but skips Gantt charts, reporting, estimating, ordering, and takeoffs. Standard at $29.95 (max 4 users) adds Gantt charts and the reporting suite. Pro at $39.95 (max 8 users) unlocks everything including the estimating suite, ordering system, takeoff tool, and print styles. Enterprise pricing is available on request for larger teams. All plans come with a 30-day free trial of the full Pro suite, no credit card required. For a construction management platform, this sits at the affordable end of the market.

Vendor lock-in risk is moderate to high. While MyConstruct's subscription agreement confirms you own your data, the practical reality is less reassuring. There are no documented export tools, no API to pull data out programmatically, and no migration utilities. The subscription agreement also explicitly prohibits automated access, scraping, or reverse engineering, so you can't build your own extraction tools either. Your accounting data flows through to Xero and would survive a platform switch, but everything else (job history, estimates, quotes, project files, timesheets) is effectively trapped in the platform. The agreement states you must extract your data before the subscription period ends, but doesn't provide clear tools to do so. If you're a small operation with limited data, this might be manageable. For a business with years of project history, switching away from MyConstruct could mean losing access to important records.

MyConstruct is operated by My Construct (Australia) Pty Ltd (ACN 678 461 615), headquartered in Maroochydore on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. The company was founded in 2017 by CEO Jake Barry and remains privately held with no external funding. It's a very small operation. LinkedIn lists just 3 employees, though the company categorises itself as 11-50. Either way, this is a tiny team. The company is Australian-owned and developed, and positions itself as purpose-built for the local construction industry. Beyond the SaaS platform, they also do custom software development for construction businesses. They have a small partner ecosystem including TradiePad (training), Tecoda (technology), BuiltGrid (supply chain), Ezzybills (accounts payable automation), and The Good Builder (media and community). There's no public information about revenue, customer numbers, or growth trajectory, which makes it difficult to assess the company's stability or long-term viability. They sponsor a car in the Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia, with driver Brett Boulton finishing 2nd in the Pro-Am class in 2025. It's an unusual marketing spend for a company this size, though it does give them visibility in the construction community.

MyConstruct does not offer a public API or developer documentation. There is no evidence of REST endpoints, GraphQL, or any programmatic access for third-party developers. Integration is limited to the built-in Xero connection and partnerships with BuiltGrid (supply chain) and Ezzybills (accounts payable), which appear to use private API arrangements. If you need to connect MyConstruct to other business tools like your CRM, project management software, or reporting dashboards, you're essentially out of luck unless you can work through their partner network. This is a significant limitation for any business that relies on connected systems.

No webhook support documented. The platform has no public API or developer-facing integration tools.

This is a weak spot. The subscription agreement clearly states that you own your data, but it also puts the burden squarely on you to extract it before your subscription ends. Once your subscription terminates, access is cut off immediately. There are no documented bulk export tools, CSV downloads, or data migration utilities. The Xero integration syncs financial data in real time, so your accounting information would survive a switch. But job management data, estimates, quotes, and project history would be harder to retrieve. The lack of an API compounds this problem, as there's no programmatic way to pull your data out either.

There is no developer experience to speak of. MyConstruct has no public API documentation, no developer portal, no sandbox environment, and no SDKs. The platform is designed as a closed ecosystem where integrations happen through pre-built partnerships rather than open developer tools. For a business that just wants to use MyConstruct as a standalone tool with Xero, this doesn't matter. But for anyone who needs to build custom integrations, automations, or data pipelines, the platform is effectively a black box.
