For General Contractors

Coordinate every sub, win more bids, and protect every budget.

As the GC, you carry the whole job — subs, schedule, budget, permits and the client. BuildersBridge pulls it into one platform so you win more of the right work and finish it on time and on budget.

The day-to-day that's eating your evenings

If even a couple of these hit close to home, you're spending too much time on admin and not enough on the build.

Herding subs by group text

Framers, electricians, plumbers and drywallers all on different threads. Someone shows up a day early, someone else not at all, and you’re the switchboard.

Estimates that take all weekend

Detailed takeoffs and markups eat your evenings, and you never really know which bids you’re winning, losing, or pricing wrong.

Budget vs. actual you can’t see live

Committed costs, change orders and trade invoices live in different places, so the overage only shows up after the money is gone.

Permits and documents everywhere

Building permits, inspection reports, WCB clearances or Workers' Comp certificates and insurance certs are scattered across email, your truck and a filing cabinet.

Sub compliance gaps

A sub’s WCB clearance or Workers' Comp lapsed, or their insurance expired, and you don’t find out until something goes wrong on site and the liability lands on you.

Schedule slips that cascade

One trade runs late and the next three back up. Without a connected schedule, you’re rebuilding the timeline by phone every single week.

How BuildersBridge helps

Everything you need, finally in one place

Stop stitching together spreadsheets, group texts, and four different apps. BuildersBridge connects every part of the job — with Bridge AI doing the busywork.

AI estimate builder

Turn a scope into an itemized estimate — labour, materials, markup and the right tax (GST/HST/PST in Canada, state sales tax in the US) — in minutes, then send it for digital sign-off.

Win-rate insights

See your bid win rate, average job value and which estimate types convert, so you bid more of the work that actually pays.

Sub coordination hub

Assign trades to tasks, share the schedule, and let every sub confirm, message and upload from one place instead of five group chats.

Budget vs. actual, live

Committed costs, change orders and trade invoices roll up against your budget in real time, so you catch overruns while you can still act.

Sub compliance tracking

Store WCB clearances, Workers' Comp and insurance certificates with expiry dates — plus W-9 and 1099 docs for US subs — and get reminders before a sub’s coverage lapses on your job.

Permits & document control

Keep permits, inspections, contracts and certs organized by project, with Bridge AI summaries so you find the right doc fast.

How it works

From first call to final invoice

A simple flow your whole team can follow — on the job site or at the kitchen table.

  1. 1

    Bid faster, bid smarter

    Build accurate estimates quickly, track them in a pipeline, and learn which kinds of jobs you actually win.

  2. 2

    Mobilize the subs

    Convert the won bid into a project, assign trades to tasks, and share one schedule everyone can see and confirm.

  3. 3

    Run the budget live

    Watch committed costs, change orders and invoices roll up against budget so margin surprises never wait until close-out.

  4. 4

    Stay audit-ready

    Keep permits, inspections and sub compliance in order, then progress-bill and close out with every document in one place.

Coordinating fifteen subs across four jobs used to mean a hundred texts a day. Now everyone works off the same schedule, and I can see budget vs. actual on every project before it’s a problem.

FAQs

Questions, answered

Can BuildersBridge help me coordinate subcontractors?

Yes. You assign trades to tasks, share one schedule everyone can see, and let subs confirm, message and upload from a single place instead of juggling five group chats.

Will it actually help me win more bids?

The AI estimate builder lets you bid faster and more accurately, and win-rate insights show which job types convert — so you spend your estimating time on the work that pays.

How does budget vs. actual tracking work?

Committed costs, change orders and trade invoices roll up against your budget in real time, so overruns surface while you can still act instead of at close-out.

Does it track permits and sub compliance?

It keeps permits, inspections, contracts and certificates organized by project, and stores WCB clearances or Workers' Comp, W-9/1099 and insurance with expiry reminders so a lapsed sub never becomes your liability.
