Subcontractor management

Track outside work from agreement to payment

Knowing what you agreed to pay is different from knowing what has been billed or settled. Keep those records connected so outside work does not disappear from project finances.

The problem

Where the work slips.

Small gaps between the estimate and the work add up.

  • The agreement and bill describe different scope.
  • A commitment is counted again when a bill arrives.
  • Payment history is separated from project records.

In Ordvero

How the work moves.

From the agreed scope to the final invoice, on one project.

  1. Step 1

    Record the agreement

    Keep the subcontractor, scope and commitment with the project. Review the agreed amount before treating it as expected outside cost.

  2. Step 2

    Review the bill against the work

    Connect bills to their supporting agreement and review differences. Keep corrections traceable rather than silently overwriting financial history.

  3. Step 3

    Record settlement

    Record payments against the applicable bill and review what remains. Use the project’s financial view to understand outside work alongside your own labour and materials.

Is it a fit?

Common questions

Small contractors and remodelers using outside trades. It is not a claim of enterprise procurement, lien compliance or automatic vendor payments.

Does recording a subcontractor payment send money?

No. Recording settlement documents what happened. Use your established payment process to actually pay the subcontractor.
