Framing software for a job that is fourteen buildings, not one.

Yes, and it is the single most useful thing you can do with this product on a multifamily job. The schedule of values is yours to structure, so instead of five lines for the award you write a block of lines per building — mobilization and layout, floor, walls, sheathing, roof, blocking, punch — and bill each building against its own lines as it goes up. Then “Building 6, walls complete” is something a superintendent can walk out and check, which is a different conversation from defending 41% on a line called Wall Framing. One thing to get right first: build the full fourteen-building breakdown before the SOV locks on the first pay application you build and submit in SubMark, because after that only approved change-order lines can be added.

With stored-material lines in the schedule of values, one per building package, plus one for the truss and engineered-lumber package if your supplier stores it off site. The pack’s own breakdown does not include them — it puts 40% of contract value in a single Material line that only earns as walls go up — so this is a line you have to negotiate rather than one the product hands you. On the cost side, raise a purchase order per building package: committed cost shows against the job before the mill invoices you, and job costing holds materials committed next to materials invoiced so you can see the gap. SubMark does not track lumber quantities or board footage; it tracks the money and the labor.

As a change event logged the morning your layout crew finds it, with the building, the locations and photographs, long before anybody writes a change order. That is exactly why the pack has you confirm foundation layout, elevations and tolerances before you mobilize — the question with no written answer is the one that becomes your cost. Keep retrofit anchors, epoxy and shimming as unit-price lines in the schedule of values from the start, so the fix is a measured quantity at an agreed rate rather than an argument with a crew standing on a slab. When a change order is approved, it is added to the schedule of values as its own line automatically.

That is the judgment call this trade makes twenty times a job, and the product’s contribution is making it cheap to document either way. A T&M tag with the building, the hours and the materials, priced by your office from your rate lists and e-signed on site by the GC’s superintendent, is the version that gets paid — the ticket locks on signature, and there is a remote signature link for the days the superintendent is not on site. The alternative is a change event with photos, which is what a priced change request gets built from later. Be aware of one limit: hours on a T&M tag do not feed job-costing actuals. The tag is your billing record; the labor hours have to come through time logs for the cost side to see them.

With Building Tracking switched on in Settings, yes. It is not on by default in this pack, and “Building” is this pack’s word for it, so you will find it under that name. With it on, hours stay distinct per building and per phase and you can see where the hours went while there are still buildings left to frame — which on a fourteen-building site is the whole point, because Building 2 is where you learn what Building 14 will cost. Left off, job costing is per job and grouped by cost type — labor from time logs, crew lump sum, materials invoiced and materials committed on purchase orders — against your budget lines. Square footage is not tracked either way, so cost per square foot comes from your own takeoff set next to those hours.

Each daily log records the weather, the areas worked, the hours per worker, materials and a delay with its cause from a fixed list — weather, material, labor, access, GC direction, inspection or other — plus photos. Uploads are images only, which for this is mostly what you want: a photo of standing water on a deck, dated and filed under that building. A run of those is a dated account of how long a structure stood open and why, which is the only honest basis for a conversation about swollen sheathing or a compressed dry-in schedule. It will not move the GC’s date. It is what makes the conversation something other than two people remembering differently.

Treat it as two separate things, because they get handled differently. The cost and schedule effect of the revision is a change event the day you receive it — logged against the buildings it touches, with the revision number in the narrative — and that is what a priced change request gets built from. The document side is the submittal: the pack gives you submittal packages with a material library, cover sheets and merged PDF export, so the superseded set and the new one are both on the record with dates. This is why the pack’s first pre-construction question is the approved drawings and the current revision. It is cheap to confirm in week one and expensive to reconstruct in month six.

Yes — crew scheduling is on in this pack from setup. You assign workers and crews across jobs in one calendar, and double-bookings are flagged rather than discovered, which on a multifamily site is usually two foremen who were both promised the same twelve framers. Where Workers Are gives you the live view of who is on which job today. There is also a time clock, so hours come in from the field and feed job costing instead of arriving in a Friday text message. What it will not do is optimize the sequence for you or tell you how many framers a building needs.

Each draw you log records what you billed, what you were paid, and the retainage withheld on that draw. The draw calendar holds each job’s billing cutoff and submission method, so a building that topped out on the 20th is on the calendar against a cutoff on the 25th. SubMark does not track retainage release or chase the GC for it. What billing by building buys you is a clean position on each one, so when the conversation about early release on Buildings 1 through 4 comes up, you have a record of four buildings turned over rather than one percentage on one line.

No. Keep submitting through whatever portal, template or email each GC requires. SubMark is where the schedule of values lives — fourteen buildings broken out, stored material on its own lines, remediation and late blocking as unit prices — 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 lumber invoice and a crane bill sit against the job they were spent on. Draws go across as QuickBooks invoices and purchase orders as purchase orders, one at a time with a click. For this trade the habit worth keeping is a purchase order per building’s lumber package and per truss release, so committed cost shows against the budget before the mill and the truss plant invoice you.

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.
