Straight answers.

You're not wrong to ask.

The real question is what happens to the details.

Which sub came in low but cost you on the back end? Which crew quietly killed it last quarter? Where does that information live right now?

Spreadsheets keep it scattered. Most platforms get the bid out and the award done, then hand the rest back to email. And almost none of them keep a real record of how each sub actually performed.

KNTRCTR keeps the whole thing in one place. Bids, award, kickoff, and reviews of the company that did the work. Next time their name comes up, you're not starting from scratch.

And no, you're not changing the world to use it. Most teams are up and running same-day, and your subs will like how easy it is to share their numbers.

It's actually the opposite.

Big projects get the attention. Kickoffs, debriefs, lessons learned. They need a system like KNTRCTR.

But so do the 2-day jobs. They cycle through fast. The sub did good work, or didn't. Got it done on time, or didn't. Then you're onto the next one and the details blur.

Run that pattern across a year and you've got a knowledge gap nobody's tracking. Even though those jobs are the bulk of what your business actually does.

KNTRCTR captures the small stuff in seconds, not meetings.

Hit the demo button on the banner below. We'll show you in 20.

It's the system of record for the subs you work with, and the way you get jobs out to them.

Send bid invites in a few clicks. Subs see the job, submit pricing, and you compare apples to apples in one view.

When you award, the job kickoff is there to organize the crew for the site. Every interaction builds a track record on the company that earned it.

Bid invites go out in minutes, not hours. Award decisions get made on data, not memory. The next time you're picking subs, you've got real history to pull from.

Reading this FAQ is helpful, but you should step on to our job site with a demo (below). Easier to show you than tell you.

Subcontractor management software helps construction teams organize the companies they work with, invite them to bid, compare responses, coordinate handoff, and keep a record of who did what on each job.

Traditionally, a lot of that work happens through phone calls, email threads, spreadsheets, saved PDFs, and memory. That can get subs on site, but it does not always leave your team with a clean record for the next decision.

KNTRCTR does it differently. It gives contractors an easy construction bid management software workflow for posting jobs, inviting subs, comparing bids, awarding work, and running kickoff.

It also gives users tools to review subcontractors and see past history with each company, so future procurement decisions are based on performance, not just price or memory. That is why KNTRCTR also fits as construction procurement software for teams that want better subcontractor decisions over time.

No. KNTRCTR focuses on bid organization and subcontractor performance tracking—not estimating takeoffs, project scheduling, or cost control.

It works alongside your existing estimating tools and project management systems.

No. Most companies begin by inviting the subcontractors they already work with.

KNTRCTR strengthens existing relationships before expanding into new ones.

No. Jobs are private by default. You control who gets invited.

This platform is about structured relationships, not blasting work into the open web.

Once you are in the system, in addition to inviting your existing subs (optional), you have the option to post a job as "Public." This only means it is public within the system and other KNTRCTR users can see the job. It is not posted on the open web.

Lead contractors get a 30-day free trial, then a flat monthly subscription. No hidden fees, no commissions.

Subcontractors invited to bid can respond for free—no subscription required. They can optionally subscribe to share past work, get visibility, and bid on public jobs.

Any verified user can post a job. You can invite your existing subcontractors, open it to the public, or build private lists.

All bidders are notified by email about the decision. The awarded company knows they won, and everyone else knows the job is decided.

The job stays in one workspace on KNTRCTR: scope and attachments, bids, and the job discussion thread.

After award, Job Kickoff is a dedicated space for start-of-work handoff.

The job moves through clear stages (for example awarded, in progress, completed).

When the work wraps, peer reviews and performance history stay tied to that job and that company, so your next award isn't based on memory alone.

No more relying on scattered updates when you award the next sewer, grading, or utilities contract.

After a job is awarded, Job Kickoff is a shared space for the lead contractor and the awarded sub to get aligned before and during start of work.

Both sides can share important documents, work through a mutual checklist, and leave notes—so insurance, contracts, site contacts, safety items, and handoff details sit in one place on the job record instead of scattered across inboxes and folders.

It works alongside the job's Discussion tab: kickoff for structured handoff and files, discussion for ongoing conversation—both tied to the same job.

Yes. You can add your own company teammates to a job's crew at any point—while bids are open, right after award, or when you're deep into kickoff. There's no single "right" moment: bring the right people in when you need them.

Multiple team members can be on the same job; each person you add sees that job on their own dashboard. Everyone uses their own login—no shared passwords.

That flexibility means estimating and procurement can hand off cleanly, or you can line up the crew before award and expand the team after—to start Job Kickoff with everyone who needs to be in the room.

Yes. KNTRCTR lets you group related jobs into Projects so a larger site, phase, or contract does not turn into a pile of disconnected requests.

For example, you might post separate jobs for excavation, trucking, utilities, and concrete, then group them under the same Project on your dashboard. That gives your team a cleaner view of who priced what, who was awarded, and who was on site.

It also keeps the history documented for the future. If you ever need to look back at a specific project, you can return to that Project view and see the subcontracted jobs tied to that work instead of digging through every job one by one.

Yes. There is no reason you can't use KNTRCTR to organize and compare supplier quotes the same way you manage subcontractor bids.

Invited suppliers can bid free. When you set clear bid expectations (scope, inclusions, exclusions, delivery, and terms), their responses come back in one unified format.

That makes it much easier to compare supplier quotes side by side, avoid gaps in scope, and keep your decision-making consistent across projects.

No. Invited and existing subcontractors can bid for free. They can create a free account and respond to your jobs at no cost.

If they subscribe, they can share past job experience and qualifications with you, get discovered in the network, and bid on public jobs—but subscription is optional for bidders.

Lead contractors subscribe to post jobs and build their network; bidders can participate for free when invited.

You'll receive email notifications and in-app alerts when a company you follow posts a request, or when you're directly invited to bid.

Yes — KNTRCTR has built-in messaging for each job so you can discuss details, ask questions, or share files directly.

Yes. Once you've registered your account, you can turn on Multi-Factor Authentication from your settings.

Click the wrench icon in the top-right corner of the app to open Settings, then select Security & MFA to set up an additional verification method.

This adds an extra layer of protection on top of your password whenever you sign in.

Yes. Your jobs, performance records, and internal reviews are controlled by your company.

You decide what is visible and what remains internal.

Email does not track who viewed your request. Email does not standardize bid expectations. Email does not preserve performance history.

Job Discussion and Job Kickoff keep conversation and handoff on the job—so fewer lost attachments and fewer "which thread was that?" moments.

KNTRCTR turns scattered communication into a structured and searchable record.

After a job is completed, both parties are asked to leave a review.

As the lead contractor, you choose whether your review stays internal to your company or rolls into that subcontractor's public score on KNTRCTR. Making it public does not publish your full written review for everyone to read; it feeds into their average so other companies hiring or working with that company can see how they are rated overall.

Subcontractors who choose to subscribe can see that feedback, which helps them improve how they show up on future work.

If you've previously cancelled your subscription and want to reactivate it (and didn't delete your account), you can find a "Reactivate Subscription" link in the footer of our main landing page. Simply click the link, enter your email address, and you'll be redirected to complete the reactivation process. You'll get a fresh 30-day free trial when you return!

Note: If you previously deleted your account entirely, you'll need to register again and start from scratch with a new account.
