Millwork software for the sub that is also a manufacturer.

As stored material, on a schedule-of-values line that exists for it — which is the single most important thing to get into your contract. Half your contract value is spent in the shop under the cabinetry pack’s own opening breakdown, and 55% under the countertops pack, so the gap between spending and billing is months of working capital. Ask for fabrication earned on completion in your shop, with the storage location named and your insurance addressed, rather than earned on delivery. SubMark holds the schedule of values and logs each draw you submit against it, with what you billed, what you were paid and the retainage withheld on each draw. It will not persuade the GC for you. Get the lines in before you submit the first pay application built in SubMark, because that is when the schedule of values locks — a draft one leaves it open.

Yes, and the pack sets you up for it. Shop Fabricator is a worker type in the cabinetry pack and Fabricator is one in the countertops pack, both separate from Installer, so the distinction exists from your first day rather than being something you retrofit. Timesheets roll up weekly with worker signatures and supervisor approval and a payroll summary export. For cost, switch Area Tracking on in Settings — it is not on by default — and the Shop Fabrication phase stays distinct from Base Install, Upper Install and Hardware, so you get budget against actual per phase while the job is still running. Left off, job costing is per job and grouped by cost type — labor, crew lump sum, materials invoiced, materials committed, QuickBooks costs and subcontractors — which will tell you the job is over on labor without telling you which building it happened in.

That is a change event, logged the day you find it, and it is the reason the pack asks you to check before release. The field logs it with photographs and the measurements, and it carries forward into a priced change request rather than becoming a conversation in month ten about who should have caught it. If it is small enough to absorb in the shop, you still want it recorded, because the third one is not small. What makes this work is the sequence: measure after the walls are up, log the variance, then release. Releasing first and discovering the variance at install is how a parts rebuild becomes your cost with no record of why.

SubMark cannot settle that, and software that claims it can is selling something. What it does is make sure the question is asked before material is released: switch on Pre-Construction Review and the cabinetry pack’s third item — who furnishes and installs tops, hardware and appliance cutouts — is already on the list for every job, with somewhere to write the answer. The countertops pack asks it again for sinks, faucets and cutouts. 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 question that otherwise gets answered by whoever is standing in the room on install day.

Log the conditions on the day, with photographs, before you unload. The cabinetry pack’s fourth pre-construction item is the delivery, storage and installation window, and the trim pack’s is storage and the conditions needed for acclimation — so the question is one you asked rather than an excuse you found later. A daily log with the date, the lay-down area you were directed to use, the conditions and photographs is the difference between a swelling and joint-opening claim you defend and one you replace at your own cost. If the direction to deliver early came from the GC, that is a change event on the day it was given. SubMark holds the record; it does not certify the storage.

It gets recorded, which is most of it. Punch is a phase in all three packs — Caulk / Punch on trim — so adjustment work is logged as adjustment rather than disappearing into install, and each daily log carries the rooms visited. Where it turns into money is the items that are not yours: a scratched panel or a broken door that happened while another trade worked around finished casework is repair, not punch. The log entry with the photograph establishes the product was sound when you left, and from there the office prices a T&M tag off your own rate list and the GC’s superintendent e-signs it on site, with a document preview and a PDF you can download and hand over the same day. The trips themselves are a contract problem rather than a software one — price them in.

Only with a record, and the record has to be built as it happens. Each review cycle is a submittal package in SubMark, with its product data, its material library entries, its cover sheet and its merged PDF export — so the dates of every submission and every return are documented rather than reconstructed from email. That is the evidence base for a delay or acceleration claim and it is also the thing that makes the conversation possible at all. Whether it is recoverable depends on your contract, and that is a question for your attorney rather than for us. What is certainly recoverable is the idle shop capacity you can still sell if you see the delay coming in week two instead of week nine.

No. Keep submitting through whatever portal, template or email each GC requires. SubMark is where the schedule of values lives — fabrication earned in the shop, specialty items off the install line, doors and trim on their own — and where every draw you submit is logged against it. When a change order is approved it adds its own line to the schedule of values, so the contract value you are billing against stays current without anybody retyping 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 sheet-goods invoice and a slab purchase sit against the job they were bought for. 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 purchase order per release — sheet goods, hardware, slabs and doors each on their own — because your material is bought months before it is installed and committed cost is the only thing that shows that against the budget before the supplier 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. Your shop fabricators can be field users too. 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.
