For general contractors

General Contractors

Coordinate crews, subs, and clients across every project — in one place.

General contracting is coordination: multiple trades, subcontractors, a client who wants updates, and a budget to protect. Hatua runs the project, routes subcontractor updates through your approval, and keeps the client informed without burying your office in calls.

01

One record for a job with many moving parts

A renovation pulls in framing, electrical, plumbing, and finish work over weeks. Hatua tracks the whole project — visits, tickets, photos, time, and documents — so the job lives in one place instead of scattered across texts, spreadsheets, and three group chats.

  • Projects span many visits, trades, and team members
  • Scheduling blocks double-booking across crews on site
  • Tickets, photos, time, and notes all on the project record

02

Subcontractor updates — moderated before the client sees them

Subs submit progress and photos from their own portal; nothing reaches the client until you review, edit, and approve it. Build a multi-step approval — field lead, then you — so the client gets a polished, accurate story while you keep the sub's original submission in the audit log.

  • Subcontractors submit updates from a dedicated portal
  • Multi-step approval workflows with a named approver per step
  • Edit and redact for the client; keep the original on record

03

Keep the client confident — and the change orders clean

The client portal shows a curated progress feed, open estimates and change orders to approve, and invoices to pay online. Approvals and deposits flow through Stripe, so the money side keeps pace with the build instead of trailing it by a month.

  • Client portal with a moderated progress feed and online approvals
  • Estimates and change orders approved with a tap, deposits collected
  • Invoices payable by card or ACH, recorded automatically
