Since 1986, HCSS has been developing software to help construction companies streamline their operations. Today, we are recognized as a pioneer and leader in our market, serving thousands of construction companies across the nation. Year after year, we continue to innovate, refine, and expand our products as the industry evolves.

Our mission at HCSS is to help our customers dramatically improve their business through our innovative, high-quality software and exceptionally helpful service, while providing a great life for our employees.

What we do

Our main customer base consists of infrastructure, heavy/highway, and utility contractors – that means our customers build roads, bridges, dams, airports, and other structures that society runs on.

Our passion is in developing software to help these contractors do their jobs even better. We develop HeavyBid, the industry standard in estimating software, to help contractors dramatically improve their estimating and bidding capability and increase their odds of winning profitable work. But winning a project is only the beginning.

That’s why HCSS provides an entire suite of integrated software to help contractors all the way through project completion, including programs to manage daily activities in the field, track labor and equipment, keep workers safe on the job, and much more.
