Subs & communication
Subs who know when to show up.
Subcontractor management software where every sub gets a free page with their work for you, no app or login, and only hears about the changes that affect them.
14 days, everything included · No credit card · Cancel anytime
Free for subs, always.
No seat, no account, no app to install.
One message per change.
Edits are batched. Subs reply 1 to confirm.
Bids, RFIs and pay apps by link.
Lien waivers signed online, too.
Keep subs on schedule, not on hold
Most of a GC's week goes to calling subs. Are you still coming Tuesday? Did you see the new dates? Where's your invoice?
Construction Company Software turns those calls into a system. Subs get a free private page and a short text or email when their dates change. Bids, RFIs, pay apps and lien waivers come in through links. You see who confirmed, who hasn't, and who starts on time.
How it works
Three steps. No training day.
Add your subs
Paste a list or add them one by one. Set trade and language.
Assign them to work
Put subs on schedule tasks, bid packages, POs and punch items.
Keep them in the loop
When dates move, affected subs hear about it once and confirm. Answers show on your Today screen.
01One-tap confirm
Schedule updates subs confirm in one tap
When dates move, Construction Company Software works out whose work changed and batches the edits into one message per sub, by text or email, in English or Spanish. Subs reply 1 to confirm, 2 if they can't make it, or a date to propose a new one.
Why it matters on site: you stop wondering whether the drywall crew saw the change. Unconfirmed subs show on your Today screen, and you get a heads-up when someone hasn't answered in time.
How it works
- Assign subs to schedule tasks.
- Move dates as the job moves. Changes go out batched.
- Watch confirmations come back and chase only the ones who didn't.
02Sub portal
A free subcontractor portal, no login
Each sub gets a private page with their upcoming work across all your jobs. They confirm, decline, propose a date, add notes, send photos and update their own progress.
Why it matters on site: subs won't download a new app for every GC they work for. A link that opens on any phone is the one they'll use.
How it works
- Add the sub with a cell number or email.
- They get their link with the first update.
- Their answers land in your inbox and on the schedule.
03Bids & pay apps
Bids, pay apps and lien waivers by link
Invite subs to bid on a package and compare bids side by side. Awarding creates the purchase order. Subs bill against their commitment with their own pay app and sign conditional or unconditional lien waivers online.
Why it matters on site: emailed PDFs and paper waivers get lost. Holding a payment until the waiver is signed protects the job and the owner.
Pro and Business
How it works
- Send the bid package link.
- Award the bid. The PO is created.
- Review sub pay apps, collect waivers, then pay.
04Scorecard
Know which sub to call first
A reliability scorecard tracks each sub's confirmation rate, reply time and on-time starts. The double-booking check flags a sub booked on overlapping tasks across your jobs. Prequalification collects insurance and qualification details before you hire.
Why it matters on site: when you have two framers and one tight job, the record tells you who gets it.
How it works
- Keep using the schedule and updates as usual.
- Open the scorecard and sort by on-time starts.
- Check double-bookings before you lock a look-ahead.

The details
More in subs.
A sub portal with no login

Who it's for
Built for builders, not enterprises.
GCs with a regular sub bench
One directory, one inbox, and a schedule your subs actually confirm.
Builders running several jobs
Catch the plumber booked on two houses the same week before it costs you a day.
Crews that work in Spanish
Each sub gets their messages and their page in English or Spanish.
One job, one app
How subs connect to the rest of the job
Change one thing and the rest keeps up. That's the difference between one app and four.
Schedule
Subs are assigned to tasks. When a date moves, they're told and they confirm.
Construction project schedulingField
Punch items, RFIs and daily headcount reports go to and from subs by link.

Questions
Common questions.
How do you manage subcontractors across several jobs?
Keep one directory of subs, assign them to tasks on each job's schedule, and review their work across jobs in one place. Construction Company Software shows each sub's schedule across all your jobs, flags double-bookings, and tracks who confirms and starts on time.
How do I pay a subcontractor?
Usually against a subcontract or PO: the sub bills you with an invoice or pay app, you approve it, hold retainage if the contract says so, collect a lien waiver, and pay. In Construction Company Software, sub pay apps and lien waivers come in by link and approved pay apps become bills (Pro and Business). The payment itself goes out through your bank or QuickBooks.
What does it cost my subs?
Nothing. Subs never pay, never need an account and don't count as users.
Do I have to use texting?
No. Texting is optional. Subs can get email instead, and you can always confirm for a sub yourself after a phone call.
What if a sub doesn't have a smartphone?
Replying 1 or 2 works from any phone. The link is optional.
Are texts included in my plan?
Yes. Paid plans include texts to your subs with no per-text charge. The free trial includes 150 texts a month.
Will subs get spammed when I move ten things?
No. Changes are batched: each sub gets one message summarizing what changed for them.
