How long should a construction estimate take?

With FieldSub, most subcontractors complete a standard residential estimate in under 10 minutes from their phone — compared to 30–60 minutes with spreadsheets or paper.

Can I create estimates in Spanish?

Yes. FieldSub is Spanish-first — estimates, client communications, and line items can all be created and sent in Spanish or English.

FieldSub is a bilingual field service management platform built by a 15-year subcontracting veteran, designed exclusively for Spanish-speaking subcontractors in the U.S. It helps you get the job, run the job, and get paid from one platform that connects estimating, scheduling, field work, invoicing, and payments.

Who is FieldSub designed for?

FieldSub is built for subcontractors and small-to-growing field service companies in trades such as remodeling, landscaping, painting, framing, roofing, flooring, plumbing, and electrical — whether you run solo or manage multiple crews.

Why is FieldSub Spanish-first?

Many construction workers communicate primarily in Spanish, yet most business software is English-only. FieldSub was built Spanish-first so crews can use it naturally in the field, with full support for Spanish and English.

What problems does FieldSub solve?

FieldSub replaces disconnected tools for team messaging, spreadsheets or paper estimates, phone-call scheduling, and separate payment apps with one platform that manages the job from estimate through payment.

Can I use FieldSub from the job site?

Yes. FieldSub works on web and mobile so crews can check schedules, update job progress, communicate with the office, track time, scan equipment QR codes, and collect payments from the field.

Does FieldSub include a client portal?

Yes. Clients can view their project schedule, get notified when crews are on the way, review estimates and invoices, make payments, and leave a rating after the job.

Can FieldSub help me create estimates?

Yes. Build professional estimates with line items, send them for client approval, and convert approved estimates into scheduled jobs automatically.

Can I accept payments through FieldSub?

Yes. Accept payments through the client portal or in the field with tap-to-pay on mobile, so subcontractors get paid faster with less delay.

Does FieldSub integrate with suppliers?

Yes. FieldSub connects with product catalogs from major suppliers and big-box stores so you can pull materials, pricing, and product details into estimates and job plans.

Can FieldSub help me get more work?

A future subcontractor bidding portal will let you view and bid on available projects from the same account you use to run your company.
