Sound Familiar?
These are the problems general contractors business owners tell us about every day.
Coordinating multiple subcontractors across overlapping timelines turns every project into a scheduling nightmare.
Change orders happen constantly and tracking their cost impact on the overall project budget is manual and error-prone.
You lose track of which permits are pending, approved, or need inspection across multiple active job sites.
Client communication is scattered across texts, emails, and phone calls with no central record of what was agreed.
You are paying for project management software designed for tech companies, not construction.

Yes. You schedule each sub with start dates, dependencies, and milestones. When one trade runs behind, the system flags downstream impacts so you can adjust before problems cascade.
How does change order tracking work?+
When a change order comes in, you log the scope change and cost. The system recalculates the project budget automatically and maintains a full audit trail of every change.
Can I track permits across multiple job sites?+
Absolutely. Each project has its own permit tracker with application dates, approval status, and inspection schedules. You see all active permits across all sites in one dashboard.
Does Clockwork handle client communication?+
Yes. The client portal logs messages, document approvals, and decisions. Clients can view project progress, approve changes, and communicate , all documented automatically.

What does Clockwork do for general contractors?+
Clockwork runs the full GC workflow: sub-contractor scheduling with timeline dependencies, change order management with budget recalculation, multi-site permit and inspection tracking, client communication portals, photo documentation, milestone invoicing, and Ava as a 24/7 virtual receptionist. Residential remodels and commercial builds both flow through one free platform.
Does Clockwork work for solo general contractors?+
Yes. Solo GCs and small operations run their whole business on Clockwork for free.

What is the difference between Clockwork and paid construction management software?+
Enterprise construction platforms charge $300-$700 per user per month with annual contracts and six-figure implementations. Clockwork delivers sub scheduling, change orders, permits, and client portals to contractors of any size for free, and includes a virtual receptionist. The only cost is standard 3.5% + 30 cents processing on card payments.
