Stucco and EIFS contractor software for the trade the schedule ignores.

With a daily log made on the day each elevation was prepped, carrying photos of the barrier, the flashing, the weep screed and the accessories, filed under the job and the date. Uploads are images only — no PDFs, no video — which suits this job, because what you need in three years is photographs. The habit that pays is one log per elevation per prep day, so a question about the northeast elevation in 2029 is a date lookup rather than a search through a shared drive nobody maintained. SubMark holds the record; it does not certify the work.

Yes, and for your trade it is the most valuable habit there is. Each day’s log records weather, the areas worked, hours per worker and a delay with its cause from a fixed list — weather, material, labor, access, GC direction, inspection or other. Days when nothing could be applied because an elevation was curing, or because it never got above the spec’s minimum overnight, are logged as exactly that, on the day. Eight weeks of those is a dated account of a sequence a material wrote. It will not move the GC’s date; it is what makes the compression conversation something other than two people remembering differently.

Only if the schedule of values has the lines. That is why the first thing to do with the pack’s 35% lath-and-base line is split it — lath, scratch, brown, and base and mesh for the EIFS assemblies — so a wall that is two coats in bills as two coats rather than as a percentage somebody has to accept. SubMark holds the schedule of values and logs each draw you submitted against it, with what was certified, what retainage is held and when the money landed. It does not negotiate the breakdown for you, and the schedule of values locks when the first draw is submitted, so the structure has to be right before that.

SubMark cannot settle that, and software that claims it can is selling something. What it does is make sure you ask before you mobilize: switch on Pre-Construction Review and the pack’s second item — where your scope stops on sheathing, weather barrier and flashing — is already on the list for every job, with somewhere to write the answer. The list is tenant-wide, so you edit it once and it applies to every project, while the tick and the note stay with the job. Two minutes, on the scope question that outlives the warranty.

As a change event on the day the revised elevation lands, with the elevations and the linear feet affected, then a priced change request or a T&M tag depending on how the GC wants it handled. Joints added after brown coat are cutting and rework, not a revision, and the distinction has to be on the record early. Several T&M tags can convert into one change order, so a building’s worth of added joints does not become a building’s worth of separate arguments. Approved change orders are added to the schedule of values automatically.

Not as a cost split by default, and it is worth being straight about. The daily log records hours per worker, and each work area on it carries its phase and percent complete, so you can see where lath, scratch, brown and finish stood on any day. Job costing is per job, grouped by cost type — labor, crew lump sum, materials invoiced, materials committed, QuickBooks costs and subcontractors — against your budget lines. Switch Elevation Tracking on in Settings and elevation becomes the unit of work, which for this trade is the more useful cut anyway: the elevation that went badly is the one you want to find, and labor rolls up by elevation. It is not on by default.

By pricing it as repair the day it is found rather than absorbing it as punch. The log entry with the photograph establishes that an elevation was complete and undamaged, so the mark that appeared after the scaffold came down is somebody else’s. From there it is a T&M tag priced off your own rate list and e-signed on site by whoever authorizes it. Patching and color matching into a cured wall also belongs on its own schedule-of-values line, separate from punch — the work is skilled and the contract should not call it incidental.

No. Keep submitting through whatever portal, template or email each GC requires. SubMark is where the schedule of values lives — each coat split out, the mock-up and the scaffold on their own lines, patching separated from punch — and where every draw you submit is logged against it. Procore, Textura and GCPay are recorded as the submission method on a job; nothing is sent on your behalf. SubMark is not a document generator.

Yes. Connect QuickBooks Online once and bills and purchases pull into job costing — hourly, if you switch auto-pull on — so a pallet of finish coat sits against the job it was delivered to. Draws go across as QuickBooks invoices and POs as purchase orders, one at a time with a click. For your trade the habit worth keeping is a PO per delivery and one for the rented access, so committed cost shows against the budget before the supplier or the scaffold company invoices you. A coverage meter shows how much of the cost pulled from QuickBooks is coded to a job at all; it is company-wide rather than per job.

No. Field users are free and unlimited, and so are the subs you invite into a job. You pay one company subscription: $249 a month with your first 3 office users included, then $39 a month each. The whole breakdown is on the pricing page.
