Break every job into phases and milestones. Track progress across multiple active projects, assign tasks to your crew, and keep clients informed without endless phone calls.
Invoice by milestone, phase, or on a custom schedule. Convert estimates to invoices in one click, accept credit cards and ACH payments online, and set up automatic payment reminders so you never chase a check again.
Keep every contract, change order, communication, and photo in one place for each client and job. When a past client calls for a new project, you will have the full history at your fingertips.
On a remodel or a build, the work is the easy part. The money leaks through change orders nobody signed, draws nobody invoiced, and subs nobody tracked. Here's how Tabsy fits the way a general contractor actually runs a job.
The single biggest source of GC disputes is work that got done before it got approved. "Move the wall, upgrade the cabinets, add a bathroom" — if it isn't signed, you're eating it or fighting for it. Generate a change order straight off the original estimate, get it e-signed, and watch the project total and the next invoice update automatically. The clean paper trail is what gets you paid on the disputed line instead of writing it off.
A build doesn't get paid all at once — it gets paid on a draw schedule tied to milestones: deposit, rough-in, drywall, completion. Invoice by phase or on a custom schedule, convert estimates to invoices in one click, and take card or ACH online. Automatic reminders mean you're not the bank floating the next phase while you wait on the last one.
Your estimate carries lines you control and lines you don't — subcontractor bids and client allowances for tile, fixtures, and finishes. Build estimates with line items for labor, materials, and sub costs, keep every contract and revision on the job record, and when the tile allowance blows the budget you've got the original number in writing instead of a memory and a headache.
Every contract, change order, message, and photo for a job lives in one place. When the client calls eight months later about the warranty on the deck, or a past customer wants a bid on the basement, the full history is at your fingertips instead of scattered across texts, email threads, and a folder in the truck.
A note on lien rights and retainage. Construction payment is governed by preliminary-notice and mechanic's-lien deadlines that vary by state, and many contracts hold back retainage (often around 10%) until completion — Tabsy is not a lien-filing or legal-compliance tool, but keeping signed contracts, change orders, and dated invoices on one job record gives you the documentation those processes depend on. Example, hypothetical: on an $85,000 kitchen-and-addition remodel you might invoice a deposit, three milestone draws, and a final payment, log two e-signed change orders against the original scope, and hold the documentation you'd need if a retainage or lien question ever came up.
Unlike complex enterprise tools that require weeks of training, Tabsy is built for general contractors who need to get things done.
Manage every job from estimate to final payment — scheduling, contracts, invoicing, and payments — in one place.
