Workiz

Manage change orders that automatically update your contract amount, track subcontracts with retention through final payment, handle progress billing with proper retainage calculations, and generate AIA-style invoicing when the GC requires it. Workiz handles estimates and invoices for service calls just fine—show up, fix the problem, send the bill. But when you’re coordinating multiple subs across a three-month project with retention held on every payment, you need financial controls that actually match how construction works.

Track RFIs with response logging so nothing gets lost in email threads. Manage submittals for architect and engineer approval with proper documentation trails. Coordinate permits through completion and tie inspections to the permit record. Workiz focuses on service call notes and customer communication—great for “arrived on site, replaced the part, customer signed off.” Construction projects need documentation that holds up when someone asks what was approved six weeks ago.

Contractor Foreman charges by plan tier with clear user limits—add crew members and your bill stays predictable. Workiz’s plans cap at 3-5 users per tier, so growing your team means upgrading to higher pricing brackets. A crew of 8 pushes you into their higher tiers or triggers per-user charges. When hiring another foreman or adding office help shouldn’t require a budget meeting about software costs, flat company pricing makes more sense.
