Bid comparison breaks when scope is unclear
General contractors need to compare subs against the same work package, not chase mismatched line items across email and PDFs.

Operating model
GC margin gets lost when bids, field updates, and payment evidence live in separate systems.
Groundbreak GC needs a public page that reads like a real builder product: command, coordination, documentation, and payment control for multi-trade work.
Documents become useless when they are detached
Drawings, contracts, RFIs, photos, and change notes have to stay tied to the job, trade, and decision they support.
Clients and lenders need proof, not status guesses
Payment updates are easier when the approved work, supporting evidence, and remaining budget are packaged together.
Precision workflow
A builder workflow for the messy middle of construction.
GC brings sub management, bid collection, project records, client updates, and draw control into one role-specific command center.
Live flow
GC project control
01
Scope
Turn the project into clean bid packages
Break the work into trade packages, invite the right subs, and keep scope clarifications attached to the project record.
02
Coordinate
Run subs, documents, RFIs, and schedule from one place
The build record tracks who is responsible, what changed, what was approved, and what still blocks progress.
03
Package
Assemble draw proof before payment becomes a dispute
Photos, invoices, approvals, and completion status stay connected so owner and lender updates are easier to defend.
Sub Management
Know which trades are covered before the schedule is exposed.
Track subs by trade, bid status, project fit, insurance context, and assignment so coverage gaps are visible early.
- Trade-level sub roster
- Bid invitations and response tracking
- Project assignment by scope
- Sub profile context for repeat work
Bid Control
Compare proposals against the same work package.
Standardized bid packages keep pricing, exclusions, alternates, and notes easier to evaluate.
- Scope-aligned bid packages
- Side-by-side sub comparison
- Alternates and exclusions surfaced clearly
- Award decisions tied to the project record
Project Records
Keep the field record current enough to use.
Documents, RFIs, photos, daily notes, and client updates stay organized by project instead of scattering across tools.
- Drawing and file management
- RFI tracking with attachments
- Daily logs and photo evidence
- Client portal updates from the same record
Draw Packages
Package approved work with the proof that supports it.
Draw requests can carry completion notes, photos, invoices, approvals, and running budget context.
- Completion status by scope
- Photo proof tied to milestones
- Invoice and approval attachments
- Owner and lender-ready export trail
Schedule Control
Coordinate the next two weeks before crews collide.
Multi-trade scheduling turns project movement into a shared operating plan across supers, subs, and clients.
- Trade sequencing by project
- Crew assignment visibility
- Schedule conflict signals
- Upcoming work surfaced for every stakeholder

FAQ
Questions operators ask before switching.
Is Groundbreak GC different from Crew?+
Yes. Crew is built for trade contractors running their own back office. GC is built for general contractors coordinating subs, bids, clients, documents, and draw packages across projects.
Can subs use Groundbreak without becoming GC users?+
Yes. GC workflows can coordinate sub bids and project context while Crew remains the trade-focused product for subcontractors.
Does GC replace the dashboard at /gc/dashboard?+
No. This public page explains the GC product. The authenticated GC app continues to live at /gc/dashboard and related /gc routes.
Can GC handle lender or owner draw evidence?+
The workflow is designed to package photos, invoices, approvals, and completion status into a cleaner draw-ready record.
