General contractors
Software for general contractors
Invite subs to bid and compare the numbers side by side. Run RFIs, submittals, daily logs and punch lists from one log. Bill the owner on AIA-style forms. Each one is a module you switch on when you need it.
Built for the GC who priced the big suites and walked away
The well-known GC platforms are priced and built for the top few hundred contractors in the country. A GC running five or ten projects a year gets the same seat price and the same six-month rollout, for tools that were designed around a job ten times the size.
What that GC actually needs is short: a clean way to get bids in and compare them, one log the field will fill in, and a pay application that adds up. That is what these modules do, and nothing here pretends to be more than that.
- Bid invitations sent from a spreadsheet, answered by email, compared by hand
- RFIs in one system, submittals in another, the daily log in a notebook
- A pay application rebuilt in Excel every month, with retainage that never quite foots
What you get
Built around how this trade actually works
Invite to bid
Send an invitation with the plan room attached. Every bidder gets a link, no login needed. You see who opened it, who downloaded the revised sheet, and who has not answered.
Sealed bids, leveled side by side
Bids stay sealed until the due date, even from us. Then every submission lines up in one grid, with scope gaps found first, because a missing line costs more than a high one.
A real plan room
Drawings grouped by discipline in sheet order, addenda that attach the sheets that changed, and download receipts that show who got the revision.
RFIs and submittals, one log
One numbered log for both, because a GC both asks and is asked. Ball-in-court is worked out for you, and a cost impact nobody has assessed shows up as its own list.
Daily logs, punch lists, meetings
One log per project per day, filled in from a phone and locked once submitted. Punch items close in two steps. Meeting items carry forward until they are done.
Drawing register and spec book
Every sheet and every revision in one register. An RFI answered against a sheet that has since changed is flagged, so nobody builds from a stale answer.
AIA-style progress billing
A schedule of values, G702 and G703 style pay applications, retainage handled in both directions, and a continuation sheet that always adds up.
Subs bill you from a link
A subcontractor bills against their own schedule of values, signs a conditional lien waiver and uploads their insurance certificate. No login, no chasing.
Permissions per project
Give the superintendent the log and the punch list and keep them out of the money. Named permission templates, so a forty-project GC assigns a word rather than a grid.
How it works
Start to finish
- 1
Switch on what you need
Invite to bid, project delivery and progress billing are separate modules. Start with one; the rest stay out of the way until you ask.
- 2
Get the bids in
Build the package, attach the plans, send the links. Bids come back sealed and level up in one grid on the due date.
- 3
Run the job from one log
RFIs, submittals, the daily log, the punch list and the drawings, all keyed to the same project and the same sheets.
- 4
Bill the owner, pay the subs
Open the pay application, bill the schedule of values, collect the subs’ applications and lien waivers from their links.
What it is, and what it is not
These modules are the newest part of the platform and they were built for a specific buyer: a smaller general contractor who has priced the big suites and does not need most of what they charge for. If you are a specialty subcontractor who sometimes acts as a GC, they sit beside the rest of your account under the same login.
Read the restShow less
We will tell you plainly what is not here. There is no critical-path scheduler, no BIM, and no drawing viewer with OCR. Bid invitations are not emailed automatically yet; you send the link. If one of those is your dealbreaker, we would rather say so on the first call than after a rollout.
Everything that is here follows the same rules as the rest of the platform. A submitted bid is frozen. A submitted daily log is frozen. A certified pay application is frozen, for us too. Awarding a bid records the decision and creates nothing until a person presses the button.
Common questions
- For a smaller GC it can be, for the parts most GCs actually use: bid management, RFIs and submittals, daily logs, punch lists, drawings and progress billing. It is not a replacement for a critical-path schedule, a BIM model or an OCR drawing viewer, and we will say so on the first call if you need those.
