Subcontractor Management Software

Onboard and accredit subcontractors with documents that expire visibly, not silently. Value their work, issue payment notices on time with the record to prove it, and keep performance history that outlives the people who remember it.

No surprises at the final account

Subcontractor management software keeps compliance, payments and performance under control by holding every subcontractor's contract, valuations and history on one record. Archdesk tracks insurance and accreditations with expiry alerts, reconciles work progress against payments with retention and variations included, and issues payless notices in line with the Building Act.

Insurance cannot lapse silently

Insurance certificates, safety accreditations and qualifications carry expiry dates that trigger notifications, so a lapse surfaces before the sub is on site, not mid-job.

Paid what the record supports

Valuations reconcile work progress against payments, with earned value, retention and variation orders in one position per package.

Performance history outlives the people

Quality, schedule adherence and safety are scored the same way on every project, so the evaluation stays attached to the packages that subcontractor actually delivered.

The file completes itself

Contracts, certificates and qualification documents sit in one controlled store with version control, and anything missing is requested automatically.

Payment notices on time, with proof

Payless notices issued in line with the Building Act, on an auditable workflow, so every step of the payment cycle has a record behind it.
