General Contractors
Bid the whole build, track every sub, get the change orders signed
Price a multi-phase remodel or build, keep subcontractor and crew hours straight across weeks of work, and let the owner approve every change order before you buy the material. All in the language of general contracting.
No credit card required

Where a build gets away from a general contractor
- A remodel is really five jobs stacked on each other — demo, framing, rough-in, finish — and a single lump-sum bid buries where the money and the schedule actually go.
- Two subs, your own crew, and a helper all logged hours this week on the same project — and matching who did what to the right phase is a pile of texts and paper time slips.
- The owner wanted the island moved and an extra can light, agreed to it on site, then forgot by billing day — and without a signed change order you're eating the framing and the electrician.
From the walk-through to final draw, one project at a time

Estimates & Quotes
Price the build by phase — demo, framing, rough-in, finish — with subs and material broken out, and send an itemized bid the owner can approve before a shovel moves.

Scheduling
Lay the phases out on the calendar so the framer, the plumber, and the electrician land in the right order, and slide the whole sequence when an inspection or a backordered window pushes the job.

Customer Management
Keep the plans, permit numbers, allowances, and 'owner is picky about the trim' notes on the project, so every sub shows up knowing the scope without a call to you.

Client Portal
When the owner moves the island or adds a light, log it as a change order and have them approve it on their own link, so the added framing and wiring land on the invoice instead of your margin.

Team & Payroll
Your crew's hourly time and each sub's phase totals roll up per project, so a progress draw and payday both come out right without you sorting time slips at the kitchen table.
Everything a general contracting business runs on

-
Estimates & Quotes
Bid a build by phase with subs, labor, and material broken out as line items — so the owner approves a clear scope and no phase gets left off the price.
-
Team & Payroll
Roll up your crew's hourly time and each subcontractor's hours by project and phase, so a progress draw and payday both total themselves instead of living on paper slips.
-
Client Portal
Owners get a private link to approve the bid, sign off on every change order, pay each draw, and watch the build move phase by phase — no paper approvals to chase down.
