Track committed cost on the budget

Subcontracts sit at the commitment stage of Win to Pay

Upstream, a subcontract can be created directly from a winning quote in procurement, carrying the agreed price forward without re-keying. Its cost-coded schedule of values shares the cost-code structure of your estimate and budget, so the committed cost it owns projects straight onto the budget, and the commitment becomes the baseline you track payment against.

Frequently asked questions

No. A subcontract is a peer to the RFQ, not a child of it. You can create one from any quote or from scratch, with or without an award.

Because the SOV is the spine of the subcontract and the commitment. Coding each line to a cost code means the committed cost projects onto your budget in the same structure you already plan and track in.

No. Signing runs through a public portal where the sub reviews and signs without an account. You can also upload a contract signed outside BuildPass.

A subcontract change order is a cost-side instrument over the executed subcontract. Executing it moves the committed cost, so your budget reflects the variation immediately.
