For Trade Partners

Your builder uses Lotwright. You get a portal.

Free. No credit card. No contract. When your builder invites you, your Lotwright account is yours for as long as you work with builders on the platform.

Free forever. That's not a trial.

Builders pay for Lotwright. Trade partners never do. It's a business model decision, not a promotional period — the network effect of trade partners joining for free is worth more to Lotwright than the subscription revenue from charging you. You benefit from that math.

How it works for you

From invite to first job in under five minutes.

No software to download. No settings to configure. One email to get started.

Builder invites you

One email from your builder. Click the link, create a free account in 60 seconds. No credit card required — ever.

See only your work

Your portal shows your assigned jobs, your phases, your punch items. No pricing. No other trades. Just what you need to do your work.

Confirm phase starts

When it's time to start your phase, Lotwright notifies you. Tap to confirm. Your builder sees it immediately — no call needed.

Close out punch items

View assigned punch items, add photos as evidence of completion, mark done. Your builder gets real-time status on every item you touch.

What you'll see

Your portal. Your jobs. Nothing else.

Mobile-first. Built for one-handed use in the field. No clutter, no irrelevant tabs, no learning curve.

Why your builder wants you in the portal

When trade partners are in Lotwright, the job runs better for everyone.

Builders invite their trade partners because it cuts their coordination overhead — and it makes the job easier for you too.

📞

Fewer "where are we?" calls

When you confirm phase starts and close punch items in the portal, your builder sees it immediately. The back-and-forth drops by most of the week.

📸

Your work is documented

Photos you attach to punch items are stored against the job permanently. When a warranty dispute surfaces 18 months later, your documentation is already there.

Faster payment approval

Builders approve invoices faster when they can see your work is properly documented and punch items are closed. Less back-and-forth, faster check.

📋

Clear assignments, no confusion

Punch items are structured — location, trade, urgency — and assigned directly to you. No more sorting through a group text to figure out what applies to your crew.

What you'll never see

Your portal shows what you need. Not everything else.

Trade-scoped visibility means the portal is clean — and your builder's confidential information stays confidential.

No

Job pricing

Sale prices, profit margins, and cost breakdowns are never visible to trade partners. That's between the builder and the buyer.

No

Other trades

Framing only sees framing. Electrical only sees electrical. Your schedule and punch items aren't visible to other trade partners.

No

Monthly fee

Free today, free in two years, free regardless of how many builders you work with on the platform. The model doesn't change.
