FAQs on software for subcontractors in construction, answered
What is a subcontractor?
A subcontractor is an independent business that takes on specific work for a larger construction project as part of a subcontracting arrangement. In most cases, it is commissioned by the general contractor to carry out individual trades such as electrical work, structural shell work or interior finishing. Subcontracting describes the contractual relationship between the client and the subcontractor. The subcontractor is responsible for carrying out the work properly and bears responsibility for the quality, deadlines and documentation of its work.
What is the difference between a Nachunternehmer and a Subunternehmer?
The two German terms Nachunternehmer and Subunternehmer mean practically the same thing – both provide services on behalf of a general contractor or another company. The term “Subunternehmer” is often used colloquially or across industries, whereas “Nachunternehmer” is more common in a construction context.
How does a subcontract work?
A subcontract governs the scope of work, deadlines, remuneration and documentation obligations between the general contractor and the subcontractor. This includes requirements on proof, reporting obligations, the handling of defects and communication during execution. The contract also sets out how additional work, change orders or plan changes are handled.
Does upmesh help me fulfil my subcontract?
Yes, upmesh helps you meet many of the requirements of your subcontract automatically and traceably. With complete documentation, timestamps, plan references and clear status histories, you can prove at any time what was agreed, delivered or reported later. Change orders, additional work and defects can also be recorded in a structured way and passed on transparently.
Which features does the software for subcontractors offer?
upmesh gives you, as a subcontractor, all the features for efficient construction project management in one app. These include plan management with automatic versioning, task management with real-time updates, defect recording with photo documentation, change-order management and a digital construction diary.

Which interfaces does the software for subcontractors offer?
upmesh offers a documented REST API that lets you export project data to other systems such as Power BI or your ERP.

PDF exports with individually customisable layouts are also available, which you can use to create reports for your clients.
