General contractors + construction

Multi-phase projects, milestone invoicing, sub-contractor coordination — one timeline per project.

Typical pain

Construction projects span months and dozens of stakeholders. Documents and updates get fragmented across email + WhatsApp + paper.

The workflow

  1. Step 01

    Scope the project

    Create a work item; phase it via tasks.

  2. Step 02

    Bring on subs

    Subs get tokenized portal access for their slice.

  3. Step 03

    Track milestones

    Milestone payments → invoices on completion.

Frequently asked

Can subs see only their slice?

Yes — the contractor portal scopes them to the work items they're attached to.

Do you handle change orders?

Change orders ship as a proposal variant in a follow-up release. Today, edit the proposal in place + re-send.

Can I attach drawings + specs?

Yes — files attach to the work item with size caps per file type.

How do you track project cost vs. budget?

Budget vs. actual ships with the accounting integration. Today, the line-item totals on estimates and invoices roll up per work item.

Can I assign foremen?

Yes — foreman is a built-in role with appropriate permissions.

Do you integrate with Procore / Buildertrend?

Not today. Tracking integration is on the roadmap.
