General contractor software for residential projects

This workflow focuses on residential general contractors coordinating additions, whole-home renovations, and other jobs involving several trades. It connects scopes, bids, project schedules, cost records, and client invoices. If your work has commercial-specific requirements, bring those requirements to a product demo so you can assess the fit.

You can create a bid request and collect subcontractor submissions through portal links. Awarding a bid creates a linked project expense, so the awarded cost becomes part of the job’s recorded commitments. Discuss your subcontractors’ access and communication needs during a demo; submitting a bid and working as a member of your internal team are different workflows.

Kaliun supports project invoicing, job cost tracking, and payment records. Keep your bookkeeping and tax reporting process in place and review the required accounting handoffs before making a change. QuickBooks synchronization is not currently available. See how job costing works and bring any integration requirements to a demo.

Bring a typical scope, a subcontractor bid, a project schedule, a change order, and an invoice. Use those examples to review how your office and field team would work in Kaliun. Setup needs depend on your current records, templates, and team processes, so discuss the work involved before choosing a start date. Request a GC workflow demo.

Keep schedules, tasks, daily logs, documents, and cost records attached to their projects. When evaluating the workflow, walk through two jobs with overlapping trade work so you can see how your team will find the right information and assign responsibilities. Review how your team would check trade availability alongside the project schedule.

Start with the work your team needs to manage: qualifying leads, pricing scopes, collecting trade bids, coordinating tasks, recording changes, and billing clients. Walk through one representative job and check which records your team would enter and maintain. The platform overview shows how the main workflows fit together.

Review the pricing page for current plans and billing details. During a demo, discuss the people who need access, the workflows you need, and any setup requirements. Submitting a demo request asks the team to follow up; it does not create a trial account.

Keep change-order line items alongside the original project invoice and review their effect on the job’s costs and contract value. Budgeted costs, recorded expenses, and actual payments are distinct figures, so a scope change should be reviewed with the related cost records. Explore change orders and job costing before choosing your process.
