Free, always. Every trade partner gets a clean mobile-first portal: My Jobs, My Invoices, Plans, Messages. Trade-scoped. Multi-builder friendly. Built like a real software product, not a builder's afterthought.
What a trade partner sees: their jobs, across every builder they work for, nothing that isn't theirs.
Most platforms bill per trade seat, or gate the portal behind a paid tier. Trades run thin margins and already juggle logins for every builder they work with. Charge them and they stop checking it, which means the builder is back to phone calls and texts for the exact thing the software was supposed to fix.
A plumber sees plumbing items. A framer sees framing items. Neither sees the builder's financials. Enforced at the database layer with RLS, not just app-level filtering that one missed WHERE clause could leak.
Items tagged with their trade. Schedule dates, location, due dates, builder notes. Mark complete with a tap.
Pages 4-7 if they're the framer, page 12 if they're plumbing. Acknowledgment required before status flips to "delivered."
Submitted, Approved, Paid status. Email-forward or upload invoices directly. Year-end 1099-NEC ready to download.
Direct line to the super or PM on each job. No more 11 PM text messages, keep work questions in work tools.
Framer never sees electrician's tasks (unless tagged adjacent-read-only for coordination). Builder controls this per trade partner.
No sales price, no margin, no cost codes with dollar amounts, no other trade partners' invoice amounts. Trade-scoped means money-free.
Beyond a first name for communication, trade partners never see buyer contact info, addresses, financing details, or contract terms.
Builders rate trade partners privately (on-time %, quality, callback rate). The trade partner being rated never sees the rating.
John from Smith Plumbing works for three different builders on Lotwright. He has one identity (email + password), but each builder context is a separate room with separate data. None of his work for Builder A is visible to Builder B, including pricing, ratings, and history.
Every comparable platform offers free trade partner access. Trade partners have thin margins and tool-fatigue. The math doesn't work, and the failure mode is worse than the upside.
Every comparable legacy platform offers free trade partner access. Charging would make us look more expensive without offering anything trade partners actually want.
If a trade partner's card declines, they lose access, and the builder's job halts. The builder didn't cause it but gets the pain. We don't do that to builders.
Free-for-trade-partners means trade partners actually use the product, which means more builders adopt because their trade partners already know the tool.
Trade partner access is bundled in every tier. Invite your trade partners in 10 minutes; they're free forever.
