Construction contract management

Contract control for people who build things

Impeccable runs the paperwork side of construction work: projects and contracts, the subcontractors assigned to them, the crews on site, and the invoices and payments that follow.

What it keeps track of

The work a contractor actually has to account for: who is assigned, where they are, what was agreed, what was billed and what has been paid.

Projects and contracts, with the variance kept visible

A project holds a budget and the contracts beneath it. Every contract keeps three numbers apart — what was bid, what was agreed, and what it has been adjusted to — so the gap between the bid and the current figure is a number you can read rather than one you have to reconstruct.

  • Contracts belong to a project and a contractor
  • Bid amount and adjusted contract amount tracked separately
  • Projects move between In Progress and Completed

Subcontractors onboard by invitation

You invite a subcontractor to a specific contract. They get a link that expires, and registering through it creates their company, attaches it to your contract, and puts them on the job — without anyone retyping company details that already exist.

  • Separate invitations for contractors, subcontractors and professional users
  • Invitation links are encrypted and expire after a configurable window
  • Registering through a project invitation links the company to the contract

Timesheets that record where the clock was pressed

Crews clock in and out against a site, and each punch stores its own coordinates. Hours are tied to a place, not just a day, so a timesheet query answers where the work happened as well as how long it took.

  • Latitude and longitude captured at clock-in and clock-out
  • Each entry is tied to a site, a subcontractor and a worker
  • Open shifts are distinguishable from closed ones

Sites on the map, not in a spreadsheet

Each contract carries its sites, with full addresses and coordinates. Reporting rolls those up by state and county, so geographic spread is something the system already knows.

  • Full address plus latitude and longitude per site
  • Sites can be active or stood down
  • State and county distribution available as reporting

Invoices with line items and a status that means something

Subcontractors invoice against a contract, itemised, with tax held separately from the net. An invoice moves through draft, sent, approved, paid, overdue or cancelled — so "where is this money" has one answer.

  • Line items with quantity, unit price and amount
  • Tax amount held apart from the invoice amount
  • Six explicit statuses: draft, sent, approved, paid, overdue, cancelled

Payments recorded in three dates, not one

A payment keeps the date it was requested, the date it was paid and the date it was confirmed. Those three are what make average time-to-pay and a confirmation rate computable instead of anecdotal.

  • Request, payment and confirmation dates tracked separately
  • Payments tie an invoice to a contract and both companies
  • Average payment time and confirmation rate reported

Reporting across six dimensions

One call returns the financial, project, workforce, contract, payment and geographic picture for a period — totals, averages and rates, computed in the database rather than assembled in a browser.

  • Financial: project value, outstanding and paid invoices, time to pay
  • Workforce: active workers, hours in period, site utilisation
  • Contracts: bid variance and adjustment rate

Four roles, and row-level rules behind them

Regular user, contractor admin, payment admin and system admin. Access is not only a menu check: what a given user can read is filtered in the query itself, by the organisations they belong to.

  • Regular user, contractor admin, payment admin, system admin
  • Permissions applied as query filters, per entity
  • Users belong to contractor and subcontractor organisations

Getting set up

Three steps, in this order. Each one leaves the next with less to type.

01

Register your company

Sign up as a contractor and your organisation is created with its FEIN and address. You are its first administrator.

02

Set up projects, contracts and sites

Create a project, add the contracts beneath it, and attach the sites the work happens on — each with its address and coordinates.

03

Invite your subcontractors and crews

Invite a subcontractor to a contract, or a colleague into your organisation with a role. They register through an expiring link and arrive already attached to the right job.

Two sides of the same contract

Contractors and subcontractors use the same records from opposite directions, so nobody is reconciling two sets of numbers.

Contractor

General contractors running the projects

  • Unlimited projects, contracts and sites
  • Invite subcontractors to specific contracts
  • Invite colleagues as contractor or payment administrators
  • Full reporting across all six dimensions
  • Approve invoices and record payments

Subcontractor

Trades working the contracts

  • Accept contract invitations
  • Clock crews in and out against sites
  • Submit itemised invoices against contracts
  • Track invoice status and payment confirmation
  • Manage your own crew and their roles

Start with one project

Register your company, add a contract, invite the subcontractor who is already doing the work. The rest follows from there.
