Made for subs

Free seat on every job you're invited to.

The GC invites you. Workhand creates a free sub account. You see every job you're on across every GC in one place. Your COI and W-9 live once, shared everywhere.

What subs get

Everything you actually need. Nothing you don't.

One view for every GC

Every job you're invited to across every GC. Status, balance, last message, next visit. No app switching.

Invoice GCs from your phone

Build the invoice on the job. Labor, materials, equipment, subtask. Email to the GC with a Pay Online button or a plain PDF.

COI and W-9 live once

Upload General Liability, Workers' Comp, and W-9. Every GC who invites you sees them automatically. Renew once a year, not seven times.

COI expiration alerts

Workhand warns you at 30, 14, and 7 days before your General Liability expires. Never lose a job because a form fell off the radar.

Per-job chat with the GC

Message the GC scoped to the job. Photos, questions, punch items. English or Spanish with tap-to-translate.

Get paid by Stripe or check

Stripe Connect for card and ACH at 2.9% plus 30 cents. Or send the PDF and get a check. Your call, per invoice.

How it works

From GC invite to first invoice

GC invites you to a job

You get a text or email. Tap the link, install the app, sign in. Your free sub account is ready.

Upload COI and W-9 once

General Liability, Workers' Comp, W-9. Attached to your account. Every GC who invites you sees them automatically.

Do the work, send the invoice

Log time and materials on the job. Build an invoice in a minute. Email it. Get paid by Stripe or check.

One account, every GC

Stop juggling seven apps

Every GC you work for runs a different app. Some run JobTread. Some run BuilderTrend. Some run nothing at all. With Workhand, if the GC uses Workhand, you get a free seat on their job. If they don't, you invoice them from the app anyway.

One Workhand account no matter how many GCs use it
You only see the jobs you're invited to, never the GC's other work
Balance owed per GC visible on the home screen
Photos, daily logs, punch list, per-job chat included

Frequently asked

Answers, no gate

Is the Free plan really enough for a solo sub?

Yes, in most cases. The Free plan covers 1 active job, 1 user, customers, daily logs, punch list, and per-job chat. If you work one job at a time from end to end, that's enough. Once you're running two GC jobs concurrently, you'll need Pro ($34.99/mo) for unlimited active jobs and sub invoicing.

How does invoicing a GC work?

Build an invoice on the job from your phone. Line items for your scope (labor hours, materials, equipment, subtask). Email it to the GC with a Pay Online button if you have Stripe Connect, or just send the PDF for them to cut a check. Workhand tracks paid versus open so you know exactly which GCs owe you what.

Where does my COI and W-9 live?

Upload them once to your sub account: General Liability certificate, Workers' Comp (if you carry it), and W-9. Every GC that invites you to a job sees the documents automatically. No more emailing your COI to seven GCs every January when it renews. Workhand also warns you when your COI is about to expire.

Can I see all my GC jobs in one place?

Yes. The sub view shows every job you've been invited to across every GC, with status, balance owed to you, last chat message, and your next scheduled visit. You don't have to switch accounts or apps to see which GC's job is in flight today.

Do I need a separate Workhand account if a GC invites me?

No. If you already have a Workhand account, the GC's invite just attaches the new job to your existing account. If you don't have one yet, the invite creates a free sub account for you. Either way, you only run one Workhand account no matter how many GCs use Workhand themselves.
