Brikt vs Fieldwire
Fieldwire is a great field task management tool. It's excellent at punch lists and plan markups. But it's not estimating or procurement software. Different tools, different jobs.
Quick context
Fieldwire was acquired by Hilti in 2021 for $300M. It's a field collaboration platform focused on task management overlaid on construction drawings. Think of it as “Trello for the jobsite” — great for punch lists, inspections, and drawing markup. It doesn't do estimating, procurement, or financial controls.
