2. The Problem

The Problem

Most construction software is built for GCs managing subs.

Subcontractors are stuck with spreadsheets, sticky notes, and tools that don’t fit how they actually work — tracking bids, winning jobs, and getting paid.

Result

Sub Ascent is built around how subs actually work.
