General contractor software that keeps every sub and phase accountable.
Tradesmin is field service management software for general contractors. Coordinate subs, schedule phases, track crews, process change orders, and bill progress payments — all from one platform.
What general contracting businesses struggle with
The four biggest operational headaches we hear from general contracting teams — and how Tradesmin fixes each one.
Subs go dark mid-phase
The drywaller said Tuesday. It’s Thursday. No one’s called. Downstream trades sit idle and you eat the delay.
Change order paperwork
Owner wants a change. You text the sub. Nobody logs it. Month’s end: margin is mystery meat and the customer pushes back on the bill.
Inspection punch lists
Final walk shows 23 items. Some are your crew’s. Some are the tile sub’s. Some are the electrician’s. Tracking who owns what is a full-time job.
Progress billing lag
Phase finished two weeks ago. Invoice still isn’t out. Owner delays payment by another 30. You float payroll out of pocket.
Built for general contracting workflows
Every capability Tradesmin ships is useful to General Contractors — here are the ones general contracting teams rely on most.
Phase & sub scheduling
Schedule project phases with drag-and-drop. Assign your crews and subs in the same calendar. Conflict detection prevents phase collisions.
Subcontractor coordination
Invite subs into job channels. Share schedules, cut sheets, and photos. Sub progress updates flow into your project timeline.
Change orders
Log changes from the field, attach photos and cost, route for owner signature, and the invoice + job cost update automatically.
Job costing
Labor, materials, subs, and change orders roll up to the job in real time. Know margin per phase, not just at close.
GPS timekeeping
Your direct crews clock in with one tap. Drive time, overtime, and prevailing wage classifications auto-calculate.
Progress billing
Invoice by phase, percent-complete, or milestone. AIA-style progress billing formats supported. Collect online to shorten cycles.
Estimates & proposals
Build estimates from division-based templates. Cost buckets, markup tiers, and alternates — all exported as owner-ready PDFs.
Inspections & punch lists
Inspection checklists with photo proof. Punch list items assigned per responsible party (your crew, each sub) with completion tracking.
Project chat channels
Each project has a chat channel. Owners, PMs, foremen, and subs stay aligned without group texts or email chains.
