Subcontractor Valuations & Payment Applications
Certify what was built. Pay what was certified. Prove both.
Assess every application against the actual subcontract lines: contracted, previously certified, claimed this month, side by side. Certify with sign-offs on the record, retention tracked automatically, and delivered value landing on your cost position the same day.
Trusted by construction companies of every size, worldwide
Disputes settled by the record, not by memory
Subcontractor work report software turns site progress into a payment record by capturing what was built, verifying it, and feeding the certified value into valuations. In Archdesk, daily reports with photos and quantities back every application, sign-offs run on workflows that leave a record, and certified value lands on your cost position the same day.
Every claim has evidence behind it
Daily work reports carry photo documentation and quantity verification, so a percent-complete argument ends at the record instead of running for weeks.
Certified value hits cost control same day
Approved work feeds budget-versus-actual, completion variance analysis and over-budget alerts on every package, the day it is certified.
Retention handled, not remembered
Short and long-term retention is calculated automatically, and retention payout requests are handled in the same place as the applications they relate to.
Quality signed off before it is paid
Inspection checklists, defect tracking and sign-offs confirm the work meets specification before certification, with non-conformances on the record.
Applications assessed against the subcontract itself
Contracted, certified to date, claimed this period: side by side on the actual subcontract lines, with variation orders feeding straight into the application and the full history attached.
Work Progress Tracking
Subcontractors report progress digitally, with photos and quantities attached. The daily record builds itself while the work happens, not at the end of the month.
