For General Contracting
Manage your contracting business. Not just the builds.
Kitchen flips and whole-home remodels stall when homeowners cannot see schedule truth, subs ghost texts, and draw invoices live in three tools. TradeKit helps residential general contractors communicate milestones, send branded proposals and change-order quotes, coordinate trades with SMS reminders, and rank for general contractor near me without hiring a full marketing department. You still run the job site—we run the customer-facing systems that keep cash flowing between inspections.
Sound Familiar?
Complex projects. Fragmented communication.
Boutique remodel GCs and growing construction managers hit the same walls between demo day and punch list.
Milestones live in your head
Homeowners panic when they do not know if rough-in or tile is next. Without clear phase language, you spend nights re-explaining the schedule instead of ordering long-lead fixtures.
Subcontractor coordination is pure phone tag
Drywall, electrical, and cabinet crews need aligned dates. When everyone texts you separately, one missed thread delays the entire critical path.
Large invoices feel risky without documentation
Six-figure remodels need professional scopes, draw schedules, and change logs. A plain invoice PDF does not reassure lenders or nervous clients.
Enterprise construction software is overkill
You are not building a hospital wing—but Procore-priced tools still want five figures a year. You need serious customer experience without enterprise bloat.
Built for Residential GCs
Milestones, subs, and GC SEO on one customer layer.
TradeKit is not a replacement for blueprints and schedules of values—it is the polished front door homeowners see when they compare three bids on a kitchen remodel or ADU.
Project milestone messaging
Branded quotes and follow-up emails describe phases—demo, rough-in, finishes—so clients understand progress without daily phone updates.
Subcontractor coordination touchpoints
Shared SMS reminders and booking-style confirmations reduce no-shows when trades stack back-to-back on tight remodel calendars.
Large-project invoicing + draws
Structure deposits, progress draws, and retainage in professional invoices that match how banks and homeowners expect remodel cash flow to read.
GC-specific local SEO
Service pages for kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, and whole-home renovations help you rank for high-intent construction searches.
Change-order quotes on the fly
Catalog line items for unforeseen rot, code upgrades, and owner selections so extras are documented—not argued at closing.
Review automation after final walkthrough
Capture five-star proof right after punch list sign-off when excitement is highest—critical for the next neighbor referral.
The Competition
General contractor software without the enterprise tax.
Mid-market field suites and construction ERPs price out smaller GCs. TradeKit focuses on the homeowner-facing layer—website, SEO, quotes, payments, communication—for $0/month plus processing, so you can invest labor and materials where margins live.
