Contractor Software for Residential Service Providers – Manage Subs, Scope, Changes and Payments | ReConto PRO

Organize the chaos without adding complexity.

ReConto PRO turns WhatsApp messages, scattered photos, and loose notes into organized projects, clear scopes, and professional documentation—without extra work for you.

Why Contractors Lose Money (And How ReConto PRO Stops It)

Every contractor knows the pain: the sub didn't show up, the client says they never approved a change, the electrician is waiting for the plumber, the job is delayed, WhatsApp is a mess, and now the owner wants a discount. None of these problems come from your craftsmanship—they come from lack of structure, missing approvals and chaotic coordination.

❌ The real pain of being a contractor

  • Clients say: "I thought that was included."
  • Subs misunderstand instructions because nothing is written clearly.
  • Verbal change orders later turn into "I never approved that."
  • WhatsApp becomes a mess of photos, notes, and voice messages.
  • Payment disputes because scope was never locked.

Every misunderstanding costs time, money, and reputation.

🤖 ReConto PRO Solution

  • AI turns your notes into scopes your client and subs understand.
  • Contracts reviewed (not generated) by AI to remove ambiguity.
  • Formal change orders with price, scope, and approval before work starts.
  • Sub assignments, photos, and approvals stay in one organized place.
  • Milestone payments tied to documented progress.

Everything is written, approved, and documented.

✅ The result

  • Fewer conflicts with homeowners and subcontractors.
  • Change orders actually get approved and paid.
  • Clients trust your process and professionalism.
  • You protect your work—and your reputation.
  • Jobs finish on time with less stress.

You look and operate like a pro.

Why Traditional Tools Fail Contractors (And What Modern Contractors Are Doing Instead)

Most contractors try to manage their jobs with a mix of WhatsApp, spreadsheets, handwritten notes and scattered photos. It works on small, simple jobs—until something goes wrong: a sub misses a detail, a client denies a verbal change, a timeline slips, or a payment is delayed because "the work is not what we agreed".

The problem is not your craftsmanship. The problem is that the tools you are using were never designed for the way residential projects really work: many visits, many messages, changes on the fly, multiple subs, and owners who are not construction experts.

The Contractor's "Hidden Cost" Problem

  • Hours lost every week searching for photos, messages and notes from past visits.
  • Unpaid extra work because changes were never documented or formally approved.
  • Damaged relationships with good subs due to miscommunications and unclear expectations.
  • Stressful conversations with clients about what was or was not included in the original price.

ReConto PRO turns that chaos into a clear, repeatable process—without forcing you into a rigid construction ERP designed for huge commercial projects. It is powerful enough for complex jobs, but simple enough for small teams that just want to run clean, profitable projects.

How ReConto PRO Prevents the 5 Most Common Contractor Problems

1. Vague scopes everyone interprets differently:

Phrases like "leave everything ready" or "fix what's wrong" are recipes for conflict. ReConto PRO helps you break down work by area, activity and initial condition. This reduces disputes and justifies your work when claims appear.

2. Verbal change orders that turn into payment disputes:

Client asks for something extra, you want to maintain the good relationship and say yes. Three weeks later when you send the invoice, they say they never approved that extra cost. With formal change orders approved inside ReConto PRO, every change is clear, signed and price-confirmed.

3. Subcontractors without clear instructions:

Sub arrives at the job site, doesn't know what to do, asks the client or whoever they find. They waste time, do extra things or leave work half-done. With ReConto PRO each sub sees only what they need to do, with instructions, photos and dates. And you can review and approve their work by phase.

4. Payments without structure and no relation to real progress:

When there's no clear relationship between progress, milestones and payments, any detail becomes an excuse to withhold money. With well-defined phase payments, the client understands what they're paying for and you have better arguments to collect on time.

5. Lack of evidence when something goes wrong:

If a client complains months later, it's hard to reconstruct what happened. With ReConto PRO you have the complete project history in one place: key messages, before/after photos, change orders and approvals. It doesn't just protect your work—it protects your reputation.

Modern contractors are moving to structured systems where every project follows the same logic: clear scope, documented choices, tracked changes, formal approvals and transparent payments. ReConto PRO was built for that reality.
