What is a sub portal, and what can a subcontractor do in one?
A sub portal is the subcontractor-facing surface where a sub receives assignments, uploads daily logs, submits invoices, and signs lien releases, scoped to only the projects they are assigned to.
Start free→A subcontractor portal is the part of a construction platform a sub logs into to do their part of the job: see the work they are assigned, see their schedule, upload field documentation, submit invoices for completed work, and sign the lien releases that gate their payment. It is scoped to the sub's own assignments, so the sub sees their projects and nothing belonging to the GC's other jobs or other subs.
A sub portal closes the loop between the GC and the trades without email and paper. The sub sees exactly what they are responsible for, the GC gets documentation and invoices in one place, and the lien-release and compliance steps that gate payment happen in the same surface as the work. Done right, it also enforces isolation: a sub can never glimpse another sub's information or another project's margin, which is essential when many companies share one platform.
Scaftra ships a commitment-scoped sub portal in production. A sub gets there through their Subcontractor Project Assignment, the membership created when the GC schedules them, so access follows the company's project membership and stays scoped to assigned work. Sub-side contact and compliance records, which have no built-in project field, are written through backend paths that prove the ownership chain rather than raw edits, preserving tenant isolation across every sub and GC sharing the platform.
