Use cases to evaluate
Submitting AIA G702/G703 pay applications on commercial subcontracts
Tracking real-time WIP and job profitability against budget
Managing cost-plus and T&M jobs with subcontractor agreements
Dispatching service calls alongside bid work in one system
Fit to evaluate
Electrical, HVAC, and plumbing subcontractors on commercial projects
Remodelers needing change order workflows tied to QuickBooks
Contractors running both project and service-call revenue streams
Owners who refuse to leave QuickBooks but have outgrown manual job costing
Business fit
Right for you if you are an electrical, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, or remodeling contractor who already runs QuickBooks and needs proper job costing, change orders, and AIA pay applications without leaving that accounting stack. Strong fit if you do both bid work and service calls. Skip if you are a residential renovator who only quotes fixed-price jobs, or a large GC that needs full project controls, RFI workflows, and document control outside of QuickBooks.
