Commercial contractor software without the enterprise implementation

Tenant improvements, small commercial ground-up, restaurant and retail buildouts — the documentation discipline of commercial work, on a platform a five-person office can actually turn on.

See pricing — it's public · Why SelfConstruct

The submittal log for the demo company's Alpine Ridge Custom Home: SUB-001 to SUB-005, each with its category, submit-by date, status — approved, submitted for approval, revise and resubmit — who has the ball, the architect or the contractor, and its schedule risk

Submittals and RFIs, tracked and answered

Submittals logged with their status and their reviewer; RFIs raised, routed and answered with the answer attached to the job. The paper trail commercial work runs on, without a document-control consultant to set it up.

Retainage and lien waivers, handled as a matter of course

Hold retainage on what you bill and on what you owe subs, release it when the contract says, and track lien waivers against payments so a closeout does not become an archaeology project.

Every sub in their own portal

Scope, dates, documents and their own billing — visible to them, invisible to each other, and none of them looking at your costs. Unlimited users means adding the whole subcontractor list costs nothing.

Job costing that reaches the ledger

Cost codes you define, committed costs through purchase orders, and job cost against budget in a system that posts to a real double-entry general ledger. The WIP conversation with your CPA starts from your own books.

Questions builders ask

Do you produce AIA G702 and G703 pay applications?

No, and that is a real limitation worth knowing before you evaluate. SelfConstruct bills by draw and progress with retainage held and released, but it does not generate AIA-format G702/G703 forms. If your owners or lenders require them, you would be reformatting by hand.

Does it do certified payroll or prevailing wage?

No. There is no certified-payroll reporting and no prevailing-wage rate handling, so public and government-funded work is not a good fit. Private commercial — TI, retail, restaurant, small ground-up — is where this belongs.

Is it going to take six months to implement?

No. It is a single instance with your data in it, not a platform to configure. $299/mo per company covers the company with unlimited users, and there is a live demo you can open before you talk to anyone.
