Subcontractor Management Tips for General Contractors
Keep subs accountable, on schedule, and paid on time — without micromanaging.
Written scope per sub, every time
Even for small jobs. Verbal scopes are where margin disappears.
Pay fast — but only after photo proof
Same-week payment for verified completion. This is the single biggest driver of sub loyalty.
Use a shared portal
WinkScope subcontractor portal lets subs upload photos, sign scopes, and submit invoices in one place.
