Does SubTrade handle board counts and takeoffs?
SubTrade doesn’t replace your takeoff software (like PlanSwift or On-Screen Takeoff), but we track the scope, hours, board counts, and mud usage for every room so you invoice accurately.

🧱 Built for the Field
From the Jobsite to the Office, One System

- ✓ Level 1–5 finish tracking per wall
🖥️ Real-Time Field Visibility

📱 Built for the Field
Your Crews Clock In & Capture Change Orders All from Their Phones
Hangers and finishers shouldn’t need to learn office software. SubTrade’s mobile app is built for the field — one-tap GPS clock-in, change-order capture with photos, board & mud requests, and daily safety forms. Works on any phone. Works offline when job-site wifi drops.
- ✓ One-tap GPS clock-in from any job site
- ✓ Capture change orders with photos on the spot
- ✓ Request board, mud & tape directly from the field

- ✓ Works offline on spotty job-site wifi
💵 Stop Unbilled Hours
Every Hour Captured. Every Minute Billable.
Drywall contractors lose more money to unbilled labor than almost any other trade. A hanger forgets to clock in. A finisher’s lunch break runs long. Hours get entered wrong a week later. SubTrade’s time tracking captures every minute — GPS-stamped, job-coded, and ready for payroll, whether you run hourly or piece-rate.
- ✓ GPS clock-in verified to the job site
- ✓ Auto break rules per state labor law
- ✓ Hourly, piece-rate & overtime split automatically
- ✓ Export to QuickBooks, Sage, and Xero

Common Questions from Drywall Subs
Can it track punchlist items per room?
Yes. Every project has a punchlist tab per room with status, walk-through dates, and deadline alerts so you never miss a Level 5 finish handoff or paint-ready sign-off.
Does it work for service calls and small patches?
Yes. Quick-create a patch or repair ticket from the mobile app, clock time against it, attach before/after photos, and invoice the same day.
Can hangers and finishers both use it?
Yes. Role-based permissions: hangers and finishers clock in and upload photos, foremen approve hours and submit change orders, owners see everything.
Can we capture change orders with photos from the field?
Yes. Snap a photo, add a note, attach a cost estimate, and submit — the office sees the change instantly with GPS location.
