Subcontractors

Subcontractor Management for Contractors

Connect unlimited subs without paying per seat, assign them to the jobs they’re on, and control exactly what each one sees. Your crew and your subs on one job record — not a group text.

Start Free TrialSee Pricing

Invite by code

Subs join with a short invite code — no email chain, no account to provision, no seat to buy.

Unlimited subs, no per-seat fee

Connect as many subcontractors as you run. Both paid plans include unlimited sub connections.

Job-scoped access

Assign a sub to specific jobs. They see only the work you assign them — nothing else.

Granular visibility control

Per job, choose whether a sub can see customer contact, financials, or other trades' work.

Subs report from the field

Subcontractors submit progress, photos, and notes back to you to review, flag, or approve.

Quote → job in one click

Win the bid with an e-signed quote, then convert the accepted quote into a job instantly.

Unlimited subs on every plan

Subcontractor connections and read-only portal access are unlimited and free on both Field ($99) and Operations ($199). No per-seat fees, ever.

How it works

From signup to first use in 60 seconds.

You generate an invite code — optionally scoped to a specific job — and send it to your subcontractor. They enter it in the Vexor sub portal (no email-invite chain, no license for them to buy) and the connection request lands in your queue to approve or deny.

Once approved, the sub sees only the jobs you assign. On each job you control exactly what is visible: customer contact, financials, and other trades’ work are independent toggles, so a framing sub never sees the plumber’s pricing or your customer’s phone number unless you choose to share it.

From the field, subs submit progress updates, photos, and notes against their assigned jobs. Those come back to you to review, flag, or approve — so the whole job, your crew and your subs together, lives in one record instead of a pile of group texts and lost photos.

Who it's built for

Which trades get the most out of this.

General contractors

Coordinate multiple trades on one job, each sub scoped to their own lane and blind to the others’ pricing.

Remodelers

Bring in specialty subs per project without buying a seat for each one or exposing your margins.

Concrete contractors

Pump, finishing, and rebar subs report progress and photos straight to the one job record.

Roofers

Supplement crews with subcontracted labor in busy season — unlimited connections handle the swing.

Custom-home builders

Many subs across a long project, each scoped to their jobs and trades, all updates in one place.

Subcontractors themselves

Accept an invite and report from the field with no software cost — you see only the jobs you’re on.

Why it matters

The hidden cost of not having this.

Per-sub pricing punishes the way contractors actually staff a job. When every subcontractor connection costs a seat, you ration access — and the subs you leave off the system go back to texting photos and calling for updates. Unlimited, free sub connections remove that trade-off entirely: everyone on the job is on the system.

Over-sharing is the other real risk. Most tools either lock subs out completely or hand them the whole job — including your margins and your customer’s details. Per-job visibility toggles let you collaborate with a sub on the work without showing them your pricing or your customer relationship.

And the job record fragments the moment subs are not in the system. Progress lives in one person’s texts, photos in another’s camera roll, the change in a phone call nobody wrote down. Keeping crew and sub updates in one job record is what gives you a clean, contemporaneous history when a schedule slips or a scope is disputed.

Comparing tools for managing subs?

Buildertrend and Procore manage subcontractors well but at construction-enterprise prices, and most service tools charge per user. Vexor connects unlimited subs free, with per-job visibility control, on flat $99/$199 pricing.

FAQ

Common questions, answered.

How many subcontractors can I add?

Unlimited, on both paid plans. Subcontractor connections are not metered and there is no per-seat fee — you connect as many subs as you actually run.

Do subcontractors have to pay for Vexor?

No. Read-only portal access is free for every subcontractor you invite. They join with an invite code, see the jobs you assign, and report from the field at no cost to them.

Can I control what a subcontractor sees?

Yes — per job. Customer contact details, financials, and other trades' work are independent toggles, so a framing sub never sees the plumber's pricing or your customer's phone number unless you choose to share it.

Does Vexor track subcontractor insurance (COI), W-9s, or licenses?

Not today. Vexor manages subcontractor access, job assignment, and field collaboration — it does not store compliance documents like certificates of insurance, W-9s, or license expirations. If that tracking is a hard requirement, keep those in your document system for now.

Can I pay subcontractors or track what I owe them in Vexor?

No — Vexor does not handle subcontractor payments, payables, or 1099 reporting. It manages the working relationship (access, assignment, and field updates) and your customer-side quoting and invoicing, not sub payables. Pair it with your accounting tool for that side.

Can I send estimates and turn them into jobs?

Yes. Build a quote with line items, tax, discount, and a deposit, send it to the customer for e-signature through a no-login portal link, and convert the accepted quote into a job in one click — no re-entering anything.

How does a subcontractor report progress?

From the sub portal, subcontractors submit progress updates, photos, and notes against the jobs they're assigned. Those come back to you to review, flag, or approve, so the whole job — your crew and your subs — lives in one record instead of scattered group texts.

Is there a separate general-contractor portal?

Subcontractors are the external party Vexor models today: they connect to your workspace and see the jobs you assign. There isn't a separate GC-side portal — if you're the sub on someone else's job, you use the same sub portal to see what you've been invited to.
