Insulation contractor software — for the trade with a four-day window.

With a daily log made on the day the crew found it, carrying photos of the boarded wall, the area it is in and the crew who was there. That is the record that turns an access cut from a favor into a change. Raise a change event the same morning, then a T&M tag priced off your own rate lists and e-signed on site for the cut, the insulation and the patch. Uploads are images only — no PDFs, no video — and they live on the log, filed under the job and the date, so a photograph from eleven months ago is findable by somebody who was not there.

Yes, and it is the most valuable habit for your trade. Each day’s log records the areas worked, the hours per worker and a delay with its cause from a fixed list — weather, material, labor, access, GC direction, inspection or other. A week of logs coded to access is a dated, specific account of a window that was four days on the schedule and one day in reality. It will not move the GC’s board date. It is what makes an acceleration or compression conversation something other than two people remembering differently.

That is a schedule-of-values question, and the answer is yes if the lines exist. Carry stored material as its own line — batt and mineral wool, rigid board and spray foam, sound batt — and bill it as it is delivered rather than as it is installed. SubMark holds the schedule of values, tracks what you billed on each line, what was certified, what retainage is held against it and when the money arrived. It does not negotiate the stored-material clause for you, and some GCs will want proof of delivery and insurance before they certify it.

SubMark cannot settle it; it can make sure you ask before you mobilize. Switch on Pre-Construction Review and the pack’s fourth item — whether firestopping and safing are your scope — 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. That is the whole mechanism, and for a trade that gets handed this scope by assumption it is worth the two minutes.

A change event the day the revised drawing lands, with the areas and assemblies affected, then a priced change request or a T&M tag depending on how the GC wants it handled. Several T&M tags can convert into one change order, so a floor’s worth of revised assemblies does not become a floor’s worth of separate arguments. Approved change orders are added to the schedule of values automatically, so the new scope shows up on the thing you bill from rather than in a side agreement.

Not as hours. The daily log records hours per worker, and each work area on it carries its phase and percent complete, so you can see where air sealing, wall insulation, ceiling work and sound batt stood on a given 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; it does not split labor by phase for this trade. The approach that works is to carry air sealing as its own budget line, since it is the scope whose boundary moves most.

As a dated record, not as an inspection module. The pack ships inspection as a phase and as its single pass, and the inspection goes on that day’s log — what was inspected, which areas were released, the result, with photos. A failed test and the retest two weeks later are two dated records with the correction in between. The honest limits: there is no inspection module and no deficiency item list, and nothing ties a draw to an inspection result — you still bill the line when you have earned it.

No. Keep submitting through whatever portal, template or email each GC requires. SubMark is where the schedule of values lives — stored material on its own lines, sound batt separated from thermal, inspection priced rather than assumed — 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 truckload of batt 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. Because nearly half your contract is material, the useful habit is a PO per delivery: committed cost shows against the budget before the supplier invoice arrives. 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.
