How GCs use Fabric
Fabric follows the workflow GCs actually use: define the work, get bids, award, generate the agreement, schedule, and manage changes. Each step stays connected to the last.
Create projects and work packages
Set up the project, invite the right people, and break the work into scopes by trade or area. Examples: electrical rough-in, drywall, flooring, cabinetry.
Define scope and invite subcontractors
Write scope with rich text formatting, use optional AI assistance for clarity, attach drawings and plans, and send structured bid invitations to qualified subs.
Compare proposals and award work
Review submitted proposals side by side. Spot differences in scope, exclusions, and price quickly. Accept or reject bids with a clear decision trail.
Generate the agreement
Create the agreement type that fits your process: contract for signature, purchase order, written understanding, or verbal understanding logged for reference.
Schedule, execute, and manage changes
Communicate required timing, view schedules in List, Gantt, Calendar, or Kanban formats, and manage change requests with tracked approvals that become official change orders.
Your challenges. Our solutions.
Verified Subcontractor Network
Browse a network of licensed, insured subcontractors filtered by trade, service area, and availability. Send bid invites to qualified subs directly.
Structured Bid Collection
Send standardized bid requests with deadlines. Track responses in real time and compare proposals side by side with full detail visibility.
Digital Agreement Management
Generate contracts, purchase orders, and written understandings digitally. Award a bid and the agreement is created automatically from the accepted proposal.
Multi-Trade Scheduling
Shared scheduling with List, Gantt, Calendar, and Kanban views. Set required timing for subs and see all trades on one timeline.
Change Order Workflows
When scope changes, create a change request. The subcontractor prices the impact, and the general contractor and owner approve or reject. Approved requests become change orders added to official scope and cost.
Centralized Document Tracking
Keep insurance, agreements, NTOs, and compliance records in one place. Track everything in a single location so records stay current and audit-ready.
