The T&M ticket nobody signed
Extra work gets done on a handshake and a photo of a napkin. Two months on, the GC's office has no record of it and the margin is simply gone — written off as the cost of being helpful.

Bill the job.

for the job.
SC Connect is the operating system for trade subcontractors — field time, signed extra work, AIA G702/G703 billing, procurement and two-way QuickBooks in one place. Built bottom-up for the sub, not top-down for the general contractor.
30 minYour schedule of valuesThe GC never needs an account
G-002Scope of workThe inversion
Every other platform was written from the GC’s side of the table.
You are the object of that software, not its user
Procore and Autodesk Build are excellent at what they were built to do: let a general contractor enforce compliance on trade partners, transfer risk downstream, and manage what they owe you.
SC Connect starts from the other chair. It optimises your upstream collection, defends your field extra-work margin, and treats the GC as an external party who never gets an account — because they were never going to make one.

The margin doesn’t vanish. It leaks.

Four tools that don't talk
A plan viewer, a time app, a spreadsheet for the pay app, and QuickBooks. Every handoff between them is a person retyping numbers, and every retype is a place the numbers stop matching.
03G703by spreadsheet
Billing built by hand, monthly
Stored materials rolled forward by memory. Retainage recalculated by formula nobody trusts. One transposed cell delays a six-figure draw by a full billing cycle.
E-201Signature to drawSequence
One path from a phone on the fourth floor to a line on the pay application.
The foreman captures the extra work and the super signs it on the glass. That ticket becomes a change order, the change order becomes a line on the continuation sheet, and the continuation sheet becomes an invoice in QuickBooks. Nobody retypes anything, so nothing can disagree.
- 01Captured on siteHours by cost code, materials, equipment — priced from the project rate sheet as it is entered.
- 02Signed, with proofSignature, printed name, title, UTC timestamp and GPS. Or an emailed link the super opens in the truck.
- 03ConvertedOne click compiles approved tickets into a formal change order and opens a new G703 line.
- 04Billed and syncedThe application posts to QuickBooks with retainage split, using idempotency keys.

The redline band is material billed as presently stored. Next month it moves into work completed on its own, at the same value, and cannot be billed twice.
E-401The eight pillarsGeneral arrangement
One subscription where four used to be.
01
T&M extra work engine
Capture the extra work while the crew is still standing in it, with a signature that holds up.
- Project rate sheets — journeyman, foreman, helper — with labor burden, material markup and profit preset
- On-glass signature capture: signature, printed name, title, UTC timestamp and GPS, taken on the foreman's phone
- Partial approval and dispute flags, so a super can sign for hours and leave rates to the PM
- One click turns a signed ticket into a change order and a new G703 line
02
AIA G702 / G703 billing
The continuation sheet builds itself, including the parts everyone gets wrong by hand.
- Schedule of values by phase, floor, trade code and change order
- Stored materials roll from Presently Stored in application N to Work Completed in N+1 — without double billing
- Line-by-line retainage, and the 50% substantial completion step-down applied automatically
- Tax exemptions and owner-direct material deductions handled on the sheet, not in a footnote
03
Zero-login GC portal
The general contractor's super approves in thirty seconds, and never makes an account.
- Signed magic links by email — no password, no seat, no invoice to the GC
- Trade-protective language enclosed with every sign-off, preserved on the document
- Forwarding is expected: a super can pass the link to their PM, and every device that opens it is logged
- Full audit history per link, per IP, per interaction
04
Field time & daily logs
A foreman logs the whole crew against cost codes in under a minute, on a phone, in gloves.
- Bulk crew entry allocating hours across multiple cost codes in one pass
- Prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon: classifications, base rates and fringe cash or plan, tracked per worker
- GPS weather captured at 7:00, 12:00 and 16:30 without anyone remembering to
- Structured delay categories — trade stacking, power, failed inspection, plan conflict — with timestamped photo proof
05
Blueprints, splitting & markup
Drop in the 200-page set; get back an indexed sheet list you can actually navigate.
- Automatic PDF splitting with title-block OCR — sheets indexed by number and name
- Layered vector markup: clouds, text, highlighter, calibrated measurement, photo callouts
- Rendered on canvas with sub-second response, on the tablet that is actually on site
06
Procurement & 3-way match
Supply-house runs stop being a shoebox of receipts reconciled in March.
- Field POs up to a configurable limit — $500 by default — issued from the truck
- Anything over the limit routes to a PM for one-tap approval
- Packing slips photographed and parsed: vendor, date, line totals
- PO ↔ delivery slip ↔ vendor invoice matched before a bill ever reaches QuickBooks
07
QuickBooks Online, both ways
Not a nightly export. A mapped, idempotent, two-way sync of the money.
- Customers, projects as sub-customers, cost codes mapped to COGS and income accounts
- Native QBO classes and locations per project or line — divisions stay divisions
- Retainage split automatically between accounts receivable and a retainage asset account
- UUID idempotency keys, so a network retry never books a transaction twice
08
Divisions, roles & tenancy
One business, several trades, one set of books — without one division seeing another's.
- Distinct trade divisions with shared accounting and isolated supervisors and cost centers
- Roles for admin, PM, estimator, warehouse, foreman and field
- Row-level isolation in the database itself, not a filter somebody remembered to add
A-101Personnel scheduleFour roles
Including the one who refuses to sign up for anything.
| Role | Today | With SC Connect |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | Cash sits in someone else's account. Extra work turns into an argument two months late. Four subscriptions, none of which agree. | Live margin per project, signed tickets that become billable change orders the same day, one subscription. |
| Project manager | Hours reconciled against budget by hand. The pay app rebuilt in a spreadsheet every month. RFIs sent into silence. | Continuation sheets that calculate themselves, one-click QuickBooks invoicing, and a response clock on every outgoing RFI. |
| Foreman | Desktop software squeezed onto a phone. Chasing a super across four acres for a signature. Receipts in the truck door. | A mobile app that opens fast, a whole crew logged in under a minute, and a signature captured on the glass where you stand. |
| The GC's super | Will not create an account in a subcontractor's software. Will not pay for a seat. Will not remember a password. | An emailed link, a document, a signature. Thirty seconds, no account, forwardable to their PM. |
