Framing software that shows whether the job actually made money
Framing is labor-heavy and lumber prices move. If crew hours run long or the lumber line is stale, the margin is gone before drywall shows up. JPFLD tracks hours and materials against every job so you see the real number, not a guess.
What framing contractors tell us slows them down
Crew hours go over and you find out at payroll.
Crew clock in and out per job, and you approve hours against the estimate.
Lumber costs change between bid and build.
Keep current material costs with your markup in Parts & Materials so new bids stay accurate.
You frame for GCs and chasing your invoices is slow.
Send invoices with a pay link, and overdue reminders follow up automatically.

Questions framing contractors ask
I'm a sub for general contractors. Is JPFLD for me?
Yes. You can run your own business on JPFLD, and if a GC you work for uses it, the $29/month subcontractor workspace lets you see assigned jobs and submit invoices to them.
Can I price by the square foot?
Yes, line items take any unit.
