PM4Subs is project management software built specifically for subcontractors. It helps track bids, jobs, specs, field tasks, and tools in one place so you spend less time chasing information and more time running work.

PM4Subs – Project Management Software for Subcontractors

Q: Is PM4Subs only for masonry contractors?

No. PM4Subs works for many trades, including masonry, concrete, framing, drywall, steel, and other subcontractors. It was designed by a masonry subcontractor but the workflows fit most trades.

Q: Can PM4Subs help with specs and submittals?

Yes. The Spec Analyzer lets subcontractors upload large spec PDFs and quickly pull out the sections that matter for their trade, including materials, accessories, and submittal requirements.

Q: Does PM4Subs replace my accounting software?

No. PM4Subs works alongside your accounting system. It organizes jobs, tasks, specs, and field information so billing and job costing are cleaner, but it is not a full accounting platform.

Q: Can my foremen use PM4Subs on their phones?

Yes. PM4Subs is mobile-friendly so foremen can see job tasks, upload photos, and update the office from their phone without fighting a complicated app.

Where did the GC send that RFI?

Digging through hundreds of emails and text messages trying to find critical project information that you know is buried somewhere.

Frustrated Text 2:15 PM

Photos scattered everywhere

Pictures in your camera roll, texts, emails, WhatsApp. Good luck finding that specific photo from 3 weeks ago when the GC asks for it.

Frustrated Text 9:22 AM

What's actually due this week?

Juggling multiple jobs with different deadlines, submittals, and requirements. It's in your head, not in a system.

Field crew needs info NOW

They're on site and need plans or specs, but you're in a meeting. Can't get them the info they need when they need it most.

Frustrated Text 4:30 PM

Tracking change orders is a nightmare

Lost revenue because you can't remember what extras you did last month. By the time billing comes around, half of it's forgotten.

Frustrated Text 6:15 PM

Hours wasted on admin work

You should be running jobs and managing crews, not hunting for paperwork or recreating information you know you had somewhere.

Why Subs Need Their Own System

Most project management tools are built for general contractors. They're heavy, expensive, and designed around RFIs, drawing logs, and owner meetings. Subcontractors live in a different world: quotes, purchase orders, manpower, tools, small change orders, and keeping foremen on the same page. PM4Subs focuses on what subs actually need instead of burying you in features you'll never use.

Real-World Example

PM4Subs in Action

You get invited to bid a new school and the spec book is 2,400 pages. Normally, you scroll for hours, trying not to miss anything in Division 4 or related sections. With PM4Subs, you upload the PDF, let the Spec Analyzer pull out the masonry-related content, and build your scope and submittal list faster. Once you win the job, the same project in PM4Subs becomes the place where you track tasks, tools on site, and simple field change orders.
