JobsiteBooked for general contractors
Five jobs open. Five homeowners want updates.
JobsiteBooked is software for small general contracting businesses: each homeowner gets one link to their job's latest photos. Your crew's photos keep it current, so evenings stop going to recap calls.

A drive across town to bid a tire kicker. Homeowners send photos and the address first, or book a site visit from your website.

- No web designer to find or pay
Run the job
Scheduling
A sub no-shows, and the whole week slides. Drag the visits back, and the homeowner gets each new day by text.
- Schedule later: work waiting on trusses or an inspection
- Map: each day's sites ordered by distance
- Three carpenters on one framing day
Run the job
Crew app
Your lead carpenter calls at 7 for the lockbox code. Each site's code, notes and history are on the crew's phones.
- Today, tomorrow, this week: each person's sites in a list
- Directions: one tap to the site
- iPhone crews use the crew page, no download
Run the job
Job photos
The drywall goes up and hides the plumbing. The crew shoots every open wall first, tagged on that visit.
- During: rough-in photos before the walls close
- Draw on a photo: mark where the stack runs
- Photo report: the whole build as a PDF
Run the job
Time tracking
Four sites open, and nobody knows where the hours went. Each crew member clocks in and out of every visit.
- Per job: each build's hours, costed in its profit
- Approve: the week's timesheet, then download the CSV
- Clock-in from the crew page in any phone's browser
Run the job
Integrations
Your estimator keeps site visits in Google Calendar. Visits sync both ways, and Gmail or Outlook threads come in too.
- Google Calendar: two-way, for you and your estimator
- Gmail or Outlook: your email, both directions
- Zapier: links the other apps you pay for
Bill the job
Invoicing
Billing waits until Sunday night. Each final invoice starts from its job, with the deposit already taken off.
- Batch: invoice several finished jobs at once
- Late fee: set it once for every overdue invoice
- Terms: due on receipt, set once
Bill the job
Payments
A five-figure final sits unpaid for a week. The homeowner pays it by card from the text link, or from their bank.
- Bank transfer: US homeowners pay a big bill from their bank
- Deposit: by card on the page they signed
- Portal: open invoices paid from their own login
Bill the job
Expenses
Lumber, the dumpster and permits eat the margin out of sight. Each receipt goes on its job from the office computer.
- Permit fees: counted against that build
- Receipt photo: filed with the job
- Job profit: each build's margin with receipts counted
Bill the job
QuickBooks sync
Retyping invoices into QuickBooks on Sunday. Once sent, each invoice and its payment go to QuickBooks Online, and customers sync both ways.
- Sent invoices: and their payments, into QuickBooks Online
- Your bookkeeper's file stays where it is
- Connected once, at setup
Bill the job
Reporting
Five jobs open, and you can't say who's behind on paying. Money owed lists every balance and how old it is.
- Days late: each overdue invoice, worst first
- Job profit: what each build made after costs
- Sales tax: by rate, across every build

Running the jobs
Where a GC's week goes sideways
The 'any update?' texts, the sub who didn't show, and the bid that went quiet.
7 AM, then 5 PM
The photos answer "any update?"
The homeowner on the addition texts at 7 for an update, then again at 5. Four more jobs are running, and your evenings go to recaps.
Turn on the job's photo link once and send it. Each photo your crew takes on a visit shows up there, by day, marked Before, During or After. The same link rides along on the job's invoices. When they still text, it lands in one inbox you answer from your phone.
- Photo link: the job's latest photos, any time
- On the invoice: the same link, in the notes
- One inbox: texts, email and Facebook together
Monday, 7 AM
The week moves, and the homeowner hears first
The tile setter texts that they're stuck on another job. Your carpenters are booked behind them, and the homeowner wants to know why nobody's there.
Drag the visits on the week view, and the homeowner gets a text with each new day. Work waiting on the sub or the inspector sits in the schedule-later list until it has a date. Your carpenters open the crew page and see today's site, directions and the lockbox code.
- Rescheduled text: the homeowner gets the new day
- Schedule later: waiting on a sub or the inspector
- Crew page: today's site, directions and codes
Three weeks later
The revised bid starts from the first one
You spent two evenings pricing an addition from the designer's plans. Three weeks of silence, then: 'can you send a revised number?'
Copy the estimate, change what moved, and check your margin before it goes back. Only you see cost and markup. An expiry date keeps last spring's lumber price from getting signed, and renewing takes one click. When the homeowner is ready at the kitchen table, they sign on your laptop.
- Copy estimate: the revision starts from the original
- Viewed: you know when the designer opened it
- Expires: on the date you set, so no stale lumber prices

What contractors say
Carlos S.General contractor 40 → 150Google reviews in a yearWe went from 40 Google reviews to over 150 in a year, and nobody had to ask a customer by hand.
Luis M.HVAC service Every seasontune-ups rebookedTune-up customers get put back on the schedule every season, and I don't lift a finger.
Mike D.Remodeling contractor Halfsigned before I'm homeI used to write estimates at the kitchen table at night. Now I send them from the truck, and half get signed before I'm home.
Dave P.Handyman Zeromissed callers left waitingIf my phone rings while I'm on a ladder, the caller gets a text from my business number before I climb down. Half the time they've picked a slot by then.
Tom R.Painting company 7 a.m.calls stoppedMy crew opens their phone and sees the whole day: addresses, notes, what to load. The 7 a.m. calls stopped.

Why general contractors switch
Costs a small GC stops carrying
Floating the job
They sign, then pay the deposit by card right there, before you order a stick of lumber.
The explaining call
When a visit moves, the homeowner gets the new day by text before they think to call.
The bid nobody answered
You see when it was opened, and follow-ups go at 2 and 5 days.
