Your job as a sub: schedule, RFIs, delays and bills

What a sub sees on a job they were awarded, and what they can do there.

BEFORE THE AWARD a sub sees only the quote request - the scope, the plans you attached and the conversation with you. Nothing else about the job.

ONCE AWARDED, the job appears on their My Jobs page with: the job's Schedule (every trade in date order, theirs marked), their own tasks, RFIs (they can submit them, with a change order attached if they need one), inspections, the bills they have sent you, and compliance.

  1. 1Running late? On the Schedule tab, the sub presses Report a delay on their own line, says how many days and why.
  2. 2Nothing moves yet. You get a notification, and your Schedule shows "A sub reported a delay" with Review and Dismiss.
  3. 3Review opens your usual delay box with their days and reason filled in. You see which trades after them would move and choose whether to email them, then record it.
  4. 4The sub is told either way - applied with the new dates, or not applied.

A sub can only report a delay on their own work. They cannot move anybody's dates, edit your schedule, see the other trades' delay reports, or create jobs with the free account.

Bills: a sub sends a bill against their own subcontract from the job's Invoices tab, and it arrives on yours waiting for approval.
