Our story

We're bringing modern day technology to an industry that's been long overlooked.

Projul team shaking hands, built by contractors for contractors
Kurt Clayson, Projul Founder and CEO, former general contractor turned software engineer

3,000+ Construction Projects. 20+ Years in Software. One Platform.

I spent years managing construction companies and searching for software that actually worked. Everything I found was either outdated, overpriced, or built by people who had never stepped foot on a job site.

With 20+ years of software development experience and thousands of completed construction projects, I was in a position most people aren't: I understood both sides of the problem.

So I assembled a team of people who know construction and software equally well. Together we built Projul, a platform designed for how contractors actually work, not how software companies think they should.

How Projul Grew From Tile Contractor to 5,000+ Customers

  1. Sound Tile & Grout Is Founded

    Kurt Clayson and his brother Brock launch Sound Tile & Grout in the Greater Puget Sound area. The company specializes in commercial and residential tile work, from regrouting restaurant kitchens to full tile shower installations. It is the hands-on, boots-on-the-ground experience that will eventually shape every feature in Projul.
  2. Scaling to Full-Service Construction

    Sound Tile & Grout becomes Sound Construction Services. The team expands into bathroom and kitchen remodels, whole-home renovations, deck builds, and property management repairs. Managing multiple crews across dozens of simultaneous projects exposes the real operational gaps in existing construction software.
  3. Projul Is Born

    After years of fighting with software that was either too basic or too bloated and overpriced, Kurt decides to build the platform he wished existed. With 20+ years of software development leadership and 3,000+ completed construction projects behind him, he assembles a team of engineers and contractors. Projul hits the ground running.
  4. Projul v1.0 Ships

    After six months of 12-hour days, seven days a week, Projul v1.0 goes live. Launching in the middle of a global pandemic is anything but easy, but the market response is immediate. Contractors recognize a tool built by someone who actually understands their work, and growth exceeds all expectations.
  5. Headquarters Move to St. George, Utah

    With Projul growing faster than projected, the company relocates to St. George, Utah and goes all-in on software. Sound Construction Services closes its doors so every ounce of energy can go toward building the construction management platform contractors deserve.
  6. 5,000+ Contractors and Growing

    Today, Projul serves contractors of every size, from 5-person crews to 1,000+ employee enterprises, across every specialty in the industry. The team has grown to 20+ members, and the product now includes 26+ features covering CRM, estimating, scheduling, invoicing, time tracking, job costing, and more. The mission stays the same: help contractors run their business instead of letting their business run them.

Projul's Office Builds: 2 Locations Since 2020

Like you, we're proud of the work we've done. Not just with software, but remodeling too. Take a look at Projul's office builds over the years:

June 2020 Build — Ravensdale, WA

As the construction industry was coming to a grinding halt in Washington state due to Covid mandates, we converted a large portion of our construction office for Projul. This was a fun and relatively minor project that included:

  • Polishing the existing concrete floor
  • Wood paneling and signage on feature wall
  • New paint with Projul branding
  • Removal of slider between previous offices for an open concept feel

March 2021 Build — St. George, UT

We're glad to be in the awesome state of Utah where people seem to be happy and working hard. This was a much more involved project that included:

  • Polishing the existing concrete floor
  • Custom fabrication of steel and concrete desks
  • Custom steel wainscoting along the office walls
  • Custom fabrication of steel and plexiglass to form office pods
  • Restaurant style garage door conversion to soak up the sun
  • Painting with Projul branding
  • Custom ordered and fabricated Projul signage
  • A 40' flag pole — our founder is a veteran and we proudly display our flag

The Projul Team Works Hard and Plays Hard

When it's time for a break, you'll find the Projul team:

Exercising our 2nd amendment rights

Once a month we take a break by hopping in The Hammer (modified 1967 Military Troop Carrier), heading to the range and having a blast skeet shooting, shooting the occasional container of tannerite, and watching Chad & Zach compete on the dueling tree.

Enjoying the great outdoors

Washington was perfect for hitting the trails on a dirt bike. Once a summer, all the way back to our Sound days, we would take advantage of the beautiful greenery. Now in Southern Utah, we've got even more to explore.

Weekend road trips

Being in Southern Utah, we've been taking advantage of how close we are to so many parks. Every summer we hit Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Snow Canyon and the Grand Canyon at least once.

Restoring military vehicles

Kurt recently purchased a 1967 bobbed Deuce. A couple times a month Kurt and Chad find a few hours to work on improvements. Kurt is also completing the build on a 1991 M925A2 5 ton being converted into the ultimate 6x6 over-landing camper.

Throwing knives and axes

While throwing axes tends to become relatively easy, "straight throwing" knives is an extremely rewarding challenge. Back in Washington, we had daily "knife throwing" meetings.

Flying our flags high and proud

We're not your typical software company in Silicon Valley. We're red-blooded patriots flying our two favorite flags high (40') and proud — Old Glory and the Gadsden flag.
