Why I Built FieldIQ

Chris Williams, Founder

I'm Chris Williams. I started out in the trades — working for a residential homebuilder in Colorado Springs and remodeling homes in Orlando in my early twenties. I framed walls, poured concrete, laid brick, replumbed houses, painted, repaired roofs, installed insulation, wired outlets, and put in HVAC systems. I wasn't just watching — I was on the ladder, in the crawlspace, doing the work alongside licensed professionals across nearly every trade.

Eventually I transitioned into software engineering and spent years building and leading engineering teams. But I never forgot what it was like to run jobs, coordinate with crews, and chase payments.

When I looked at the software available to home service businesses, I saw two options: expensive platforms that charge $50-150/month whether you have revenue or not, or cheap tools so poorly built they create more problems than they solve. Neither felt fair to a painting contractor or a handyman trying to grow a business.

So I built FieldIQ — the software I wish existed when I was in the trades. Enterprise-quality scheduling, invoicing, and payments, built for people who spend their day on job sites, not at desks. No subscription. Just a 3% platform fee when you process payments, capped at $79/month.

I make money when you make money. That's how it should work.

What Drives FieldIQ

Aligned Incentives

No monthly fees, no annual contracts. I only charge when you process payments — and it's capped. My revenue is tied to yours, which keeps me focused on building something you'll actually use.

No Compromises on Quality

"Affordable" shouldn't mean "barely works." FieldIQ is built to the same engineering standards as enterprise software — fast, reliable, and well-designed. Your business depends on it.

Built for the Job Site

Most business software is designed for people sitting at desks. FieldIQ is built for people on ladders, in driveways, and between jobs — where the real work happens.

Scales With You

Whether you're a solo operator or managing multiple crews, FieldIQ grows with your business. Start free, and the cost only scales as your revenue does.

Your Data, Protected

Your customer data and business information are encrypted and protected. I never sell your data to third parties. Your business is yours.

Built With You

I'm building FieldIQ in close collaboration with the businesses that use it. Your feedback directly shapes what gets built next.
