Know what you've promised, to whom, and when.
The old way
- The scope is in a text thread.
- The price is in an email from March.
- The start date is in the super's head.
- The change nobody wrote down is about to cost you.
- Three subs bid; you compared them on a napkin.
With Plumb
- One work order holds scope, price, schedule, and who is doing it.
- Every change goes through the same sheet, so the record stays current.
- Bids come in side by side; award one and the work order updates itself.
- The schedule moves when upstream work moves.
- Open the job and know what has been promised.
What you can do
Work orders
One record for every commitment
A work order is the scope, the price, the payment schedule, and the sub doing the work — created once, edited from one sheet. Everyone on the job reads the same thing.
Competitive bids
Get three prices without three phone calls
Invite several subs to bid on a scope. Bids land side by side with price and timeline; award one, and the work order takes on the winning terms.
Schedule
A timeline that moves when the job moves
Each work order is scheduled as a crew doing a scope over a date range. Items follow the work they depend on — when framing slips a week, everything downstream shifts with it.
Tasks & files
The checklist and the paperwork, on the work order
Tasks and documents live on the work order they belong to, so the plans, the permit, and the punch list are where the sub will look.
Simple pricing. No surprises.
Every plan includes every feature. Subs never pay to get paid.
Basic
$99/mo8 payments included, then $16 each
Builder
$199/mo15 payments included, then $12 each
Pro
$299/mo25 payments included, then $8 each
Questions
Does my sub need a Plumb account?
No. You can assign a work order to a sub by email; they see the scope and can accept it without setting anything up. When it is time to pay them, an accountless payment invitation works the same way.
Can I open a work order for bids without a sub in mind?
Yes. Create the scope, invite as many subs as you like, and award when you are ready. The work order stays unassigned until then.
What happens to the schedule when a date slips?
Anything that follows the slipped work moves with it. Items you have pinned to a fixed date stay put.
Can I import the work orders I already have?
Yes. A CSV import gets an existing job set up without retyping everything by hand.
What's live today, and what's next?
Work orders, competitive bids, scheduling, tasks, and files are all live today. We build one capability at a time; what comes next for commitments is guided by what builders ask for.
