Built for HVAC, plumbing & sheet metal subs. Not the GC managing you.

Capture every billable hour.

T&M tickets from the jobsite — billable hours, photos, materials captured before you leave the site. Plus change orders in 30 seconds and daily reports in 90. Project management built for commercial mechanical subcontractors since 2008.

  • T&M tickets captured from the jobsite — billable hours, photos, materials before the GC pushes back.
  • Change orders in 30 seconds — not lost in an email thread three reps ago.
  • Daily reports filed from the field in 90 seconds — not reconstructed from texts on Friday.
  • Built for the field-first workflow that the office and PM can actually use.

The week you actually have, vs. the week you should.

If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone. These are the predictable friction points commercial trade subs hit week after week — and the ones eSUB was built to remove.

Thursday afternoon

Chasing foremen for timecards

Payroll runs Friday morning. By 3pm Thursday someone in the office is texting four foremen for the hours they were supposed to log all week. Half come back wrong. Two never come back.

Friday morning

Reconstructing the week from texts

You're piecing the daily reports together from text threads, photos on a foreman's phone, and a notebook in the truck. Whatever didn't get written down didn't happen — including the verbal change orders.

Two weeks later

"We never authorized that."

The GC pushes back on a change order you know your crew did. There's no time-stamped record, no field directive, no photo. You're now arguing without ammunition — and the extra work you did goes unbilled.

Job close-out

The job costs the wrong amount.

You don't know whether the job actually made money until the accountant pulls it together a month after close-out. By then the next bid is already in. The lesson costs you twice.

Every workflow you run — from contract to close-out.

eSUB Cloud is built around the actual work of running commercial trade projects. Field-first because the foreman won't use it otherwise. Every other role gets what they need without re-keying anything.

Project · 05

Submittals

A submittal process made for subs, not the GC. Timely approvals. Eliminate the risks and delays of email-thread submittals.

What Mechanical subs actually say.

Real customers, real results, real eSUB testimonies.

"There are fundamental differences between eSUB and other general contractor-based solutions. Every feature and workflow in the GC Solution has to be adapted for us — the subcontractor."

M
Meyer SarshalomOwner / VP · A&P Air Conditioning · Florida

"Our employees drive all over the Chicago-metro area for the jobs, and they always have to come into the shop for various reasons like picking up or dropping off paperwork. Looking closely at our manual processes, we realized that project management software like eSUB would help us improve communication and manage our time and projects better."

K
Kim DeMeoAny Temp · HVAC · Illinois

"The ability to track labor and costing is one of the things that differentiates eSUB from other software made more for the general contractor. Because eSUB is made for the subcontractor, those cost codes become very important."

Honest about who this is for.

We'd rather you skip the call than waste your time. If you're not in the left column, we'll send you to a better tool ourselves.

Built for

  • Commercial mechanical subcontractors (HVAC, plumbing, sheet metal)
  • Self-performing contractors running an active book of work
  • Teams that need the field, office, and project management in one system

Not for

  • General contractors
  • HVAC service / break-fix
  • Residential plumbing dispatch
  • One-truck shops just getting started
Now imagine your week
The COs documented before the GC asks. The daily reports done before the crew leaves the site. The job cost showing in real time, not a month after close-out. With eSUB, that's your next job.

Common questions before the demo.

How is eSUB different from Procore?
Procore is built for the general contractor — it's the GC's workflow. eSUB is built for the trade sub on the other side of that contract. Different needs, different workflows. If you're a sub, eSUB is designed for your day-to-day operations and to protect your profit.
How long does implementation actually take?

eSUB is built to be easy to use — that's been the priority since 2008. Implementation moves as fast as your team can move, and most engagements wrap inside 30–60 days. Here's what you get to make that happen:

  • eSUB Academy — self-paced online training your team can take on their own schedule.
  • Dedicated strategic consultant engagement — guides your account setup and team training start to finish.
  • eSUB Help Center — help guides, on-demand videos, and FAQs that stay available after launch.
  • A dedicated Client Success Manager for every account — real people who answer the phone. Not an AI bot.
What does the field think of it?
Field adoption is the only thing that matters — and eSUB is built field-first. Foremen file daily reports in 90 seconds from the jobsite (photos, hours, materials, notes, weather, all stamped). They capture T&M tickets from the jobsite. They look up the latest RFIs, drawings, submittals, and change orders on their phone before they ask the office. If a foreman has to think about it, we lost. That's why we built it the way we did.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on user count and modules. We'll quote you on the call — no public list price game. What we will say: there's no implementation fee for standard scopes, and no per-job charge.
