CoConstruct is a strong choice for builder and client workflows. SimplySub is focused on daily plumbing execution, job-based timecards, logs, photos, and materials per job.
Builder and homeowner workflow tools are important, but they do not solve daily subcontractor jobsite capture. Plumbing crews still need job-based timecards, clean daily logs, install photos, and material tracking tied to the job. That is why many subs work inside the builder’s system, and use a jobsite-first platform like SimplySub internally for daily execution.
Client portals do not replace job-based timecards. Plumbing teams still need clean hours per job to keep payroll and job costing inputs accurate.
Inspections, rough-ins, trim-outs, access issues, and change impacts happen fast. A simple daily log keeps the record straight for the office and protects your team when questions come up.
Pipe, fittings, valves, hangers, rentals, and hauling add up fast. If material usage is not logged per job, margin disappears quietly. SimplySub makes material logs part of the daily routine.
