Highwire review
A construction-focused choice for contractor risk, safety, insurance, and compliance.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Highwire is a cloud-based contractor risk management platform for owners, general contractors, facility teams, and trade partners. Its focus is construction and related industries, including data centers, healthcare, life sciences, manufacturing, renewable energy, and universities. The platform brings together contractor prequalification, financial, safety, insurance, and compliance assessments with safety inspections, incident management, relationship management, risk reporting, and contractor discovery. It is a strong fit for teams that need a structured view of contractor risk rather than a general system for every contractor workflow.
The product’s construction ecosystem is a major part of its appeal. Highwire integrates with Procore, BuildingConnected, CMiC, and Google Sheets, and it offers an open API with data import and export. Procore project and contractor synchronization can connect risk information with project workflows, while the Chrome extension provides access to contractor information across other workflows. The platform also includes AI-assisted safety findings, a contractor network, and discovery capabilities. These features make it suitable for organizations managing contractor information across multiple projects, systems, and assessment processes.
Pricing is contact-sales based for clients. Highwire also provides a free contractor-network profile, while paid assessment enrollment pricing varies by assessment package, contractor headcount, and client connections. That structure may suit organizations that want to begin with a network presence and expand into formal assessment workflows. Highwire should be on the shortlist for construction teams prioritizing prequalification, safety, insurance, compliance, and Procore synchronization. Teams primarily seeking payment administration or agreement management should consider a product centered on those workflows instead.
