What's this session about?
Procurement in construction always involves moving parts. But when sub contractors, change orders, and retainage all live in spreadsheets, email chains, and accounting software (or in someone's own memory!), your team spends more time chasing and updating cost commitments than getting stuff done.
In this 30-minute live session, our BuildOps product experts will walk you through the new Projects tool that brings subcontract POs, commitment change orders, and AP retainage into one connected workflow. The best part? It's build directly into the same system your field, office, and accounting teams already use.
No more off-system paper trails. No more reconciling spreadsheets. Just one place where committed costs are always current.
What will you see in this session?
- Subcontract Purchase Orders. Create and manage subcontract POs directly inside BuildOps and tie it to your projects from day one. Assign them to the right job, track committed costs in real time, and keep your subs and your office on the same page without a single external document.
- Committment Change Orders. Track every change to your committed costs with a full audit trail. When scope shifts or a sub's price changes, Commitment Change Orders capture the delta automatically. No spreadsheet required. No reconciliation at month's end.
- PO & Subcontract PDF Customization. Generate professional, branded PDFs for POs, change orders, and retainange documents directly from BuildOps. Customize layouts to match your workflow and send polished documents to subs and owners, all without reformatting in Word or Excel.
- AP Retainage Management. Stop manually tracking retainage across jobs and subs. BuildOps now automates retainage calculation, tracking and release so your accountign team always knows what's held, what's owed, and when it's due.
