Trimble ProjectSight

Trimble ProjectSight is construction project management software for project work and stakeholder collaboration. Teams can coordinate around project records and processes such as contracts and change orders. Its mobile app gives field teams access to project information on iOS and Android, and is included with every version. Web access and an API are also available; developers can use the API to extract, view and update project data programmatically. Integrations listed in the Trimble Marketplace include Procore, Spectrum, Trimble Connect, Unity Construct and Vista. The Trimble Connect integration links construction documents, models and project management workflows in a common data environment. ProjectSight is designed for general contractors, MEP contractors and specialty subcontractors. The free plan allows three projects, 2 GB of storage and unlimited users. Go costs $29 a month per user, billed annually, and includes 15 GB of storage. Enterprise is listed for 30 or more users, with no price shown. Vista integration requires cloud-deployed Vista and is unavailable to on-premises customers. ProjectSight Web supports current 64-bit versions of Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

ProjectSight combines construction project collaboration with mobile access, an API and listed marketplace integrations. The free plan has project and storage limits, while the Vista integration requires cloud deployment.

ProjectSight is designed for construction businesses, including general contractors, MEP contractors and specialty subcontractors. It may suit teams that need field access to project information alongside project records and processes.

Overview

Trimble ProjectSight is construction project management software built around coordinating stakeholders and project work. It is best suited to general contractors, MEP contractors, and specialty subcontractors that need to manage construction records alongside field access. Its free tier lowers the barrier to adoption, but the three-project and 2 GB caps make it a starting point rather than a roomy option for a growing portfolio.

Key features

ProjectSight supports collaboration around records and processes such as contracts and change orders. That construction-specific focus is more relevant to teams tracking project documentation than a general-purpose task tool, though it does not by itself establish coverage for every construction workflow.

The mobile app for iOS and Android is included in every version, giving field teams access to project information without a separate mobile purchase. The API lets developers extract, view, and update project data programmatically, a useful route for organizations that need to work with that data through their own systems.

Trimble Marketplace integrations include Procore, Spectrum, Trimble Connect, Unity Construct, and Vista. The Trimble Connect integration links construction documents, models, and project management workflows in a common data environment. Vista has a meaningful deployment restriction: its integration requires cloud-deployed Vista and is unavailable to customers running Vista on premises.

Trimble's EMEA ProjectSight page describes ISO 27001 and SOC Types 1, 2, and 3 certification, along with custom security profiles and Trimble Identity single sign-on. Phone support is available weekdays from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST at (800) 565-9490, with email support also provided.

Pricing

The Free plan costs free and allows unlimited users, but limits teams to three projects and 2 GB of storage. It is a practical way to begin coordinating a small portfolio; the project and storage ceilings are the trade-off, not a user cap.

Go costs $29 a month, billed annually per user, and includes 15 GB of storage. The higher storage allowance makes it a more plausible fit for teams whose free-tier storage is too restrictive, but the free plan's unlimited-user term does not carry over as a stated Go allowance. Enterprise uses custom pricing and is for organizations with 30 or more users. The mobile app is included in every version, so it is not a reason on its own to upgrade.

Platforms

ProjectSight is available on the web, iOS, and Android, with an API for programmatic access to project data. The web app supports the latest 64-bit versions of Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.

Who it's for

Construction businesses coordinating project stakeholders and records are the natural audience, particularly general contractors, MEP contractors, and specialty subcontractors. Teams that need field access, an API, or a Trimble Connect workflow have relevant capabilities in the product. Organizations using on-premises Vista should look elsewhere for that ERP connection, since the ProjectSight integration requires cloud deployment.

Pros and cons

• Pro: The free plan allows unlimited users, which can help a team start without a per-seat barrier, though it is capped at three projects and 2 GB.
• Pro: Mobile access is included in every version, so field use does not require a separate app purchase.
• Pro: The API and listed marketplace integrations give teams options for connecting project data and construction workflows.
• Con: The free plan's project and storage caps constrain its usefulness for larger portfolios.
• Con: Go is priced per user and billed annually, while Vista integration excludes on-premises deployments.

Alternatives

For a free punch-list tool with unlimited tasks and up to three active projects or buildings under its free-use terms, consider Dalux. Fieldwire is another freemium option, with its Basic plan capped at five users, three projects, and 100 sheets; its Pro plan costs $39 a month billed annually and offers unlimited projects and sheets. Choose based on whether those task, project, sheet, or user terms better match your team's constraints.

Buildxact offers a free plan with five complimentary credits, AI estimating, professional proposals, and Home Depot material ordering; consider it when those estimating and proposal tools are the priority. Trimble Viewpoint Vista is the alternative to consider when you need Vista ERP itself, with cloud-hosted and on-premises deployments and pricing by contacting sales. BuildBook is another construction software option to compare.

Verdict

ProjectSight is a good fit for construction teams that want project-record collaboration, included mobile access, and a way to connect project data through an API and marketplace integrations. Its free plan is a low-commitment entry point, but the three-project and 2 GB limits are substantial constraints, and Go's annual per-user billing raises the cost as teams grow. Choose it when those construction workflows and integrations matter; look elsewhere if the free caps are too tight or your Vista deployment is on premises.
