Purpose-built for residential remodeling and general contracting companies
Kitchen, bathroom, addition — your agents manage the client and the subcontractors.
Sterling General Contractor gives residential remodeling companies a full AI back office — project estimate management, subcontractor coordination, draw schedule billing, and change order documentation — built for the project-based remodeling business.
Avg kitchen remodel project value
Projects that experience scope creep without a change order system
Subcontractors coordinated on a typical whole-home remodel
Draw payments to track per project on average
You're managing 3 active remodels, 8 subcontractors, and a homeowner who just changed the tile selection for the third time. Your phone is not a project management system.
Scope creep without a change order system
The homeowner decided mid-project they want to move the kitchen island 18 inches to the left. That means re-routing plumbing, adjusting the electrical, and modifying the countertop template. It's $3,200 in additional work. You mentioned it verbally. They don't remember agreeing to it. Now it's a dispute — and you have no documentation.
Subcontractor payment tracking done manually
You have 6 subs on the Henderson kitchen remodel — plumber, electrician, tile, countertop, cabinet installer, and painter. Each has a different payment schedule. The plumber is waiting on a check. The tile guy invoiced you twice for the same phase. You're tracking it in a spreadsheet you haven't opened since last Tuesday.
Draw schedule billing requiring constant follow-up
The project contract has 4 draw payments: 25% at signing, 25% at rough-in, 25% at finish work, and 25% at completion. You completed rough-in two weeks ago. The second draw payment hasn't been sent. You keep meaning to send the invoice but you're on-site from 7am to 5pm every day.
Referral leads lost because there's no follow-up system
The Hendersons love their new kitchen. They told three neighbors about you. Two of those neighbors called. You were on a job site and missed both calls. By the time you called back two days later, one had already hired someone else. Your best lead source — word of mouth — is leaking.
AGENT SPOTLIGHT
See your agents in action.
Referral call at 2pm. Consultation booked by 2:15pm.
A homeowner calls about a master bathroom remodel — they were referred by your last client. The agent qualifies the project: scope (full gut vs. cosmetic refresh), budget range, timeline expectations, and whether they have design plans. It checks your consultation calendar and books a site visit for Thursday afternoon. You get a briefing with the project details, referral source, and the customer's Pinterest board link they shared.
Homeowner wants to upgrade the backsplash. Documented, priced, and signed in 10 minutes.
Mid-project, the homeowner decides they want to upgrade from standard subway tile to a herringbone marble pattern. Your project manager logs the change. The agent generates a formal change order: description of the change, material cost difference ($1,400), additional labor ($600), impact on timeline (+2 days), and a digital signature field. The homeowner reviews and signs on their phone. The change order is attached to the project record before the tile is ordered.
Rough-in complete. Draw invoice sent. Payment collected in 48 hours.
Your crew just completed the rough-in phase on the Henderson remodel — framing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are all inspected and approved. Your project manager marks the milestone complete with inspection photos. The agent generates the second draw invoice ($18,750), attaches progress photos, and sends it to the homeowner with a payment link. Two days later, the payment clears. You never had to send a reminder.
YOUR AI TEAM
6 agents. Built for general contractors.
Front Desk Agent
Handles all remodeling inquiries 24/7 — kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, additions, basement finishes, and whole-home renovations. Qualifies by project scope, budget range, timeline, and whether design plans exist. Detects high-value indicators like whole-home renovations and addition projects for priority routing. Tracks referral sources for every lead.
Estimating Agent
Builds detailed project estimates from your cost database — demolition, framing, rough-in trades, finish materials, fixtures, and labor. Generates multi-tier proposals (Good/Better/Best) for material selections. Includes allowances for selections not yet finalized. Follows up on sent proposals at day 3, day 7, and day 14 with personalized messages.
Change Order Agent
Generates formal change orders when project scope changes — description, cost impact, timeline impact, and digital signature capture. Maintains a running change order log per project. Calculates cumulative impact on total project cost and completion date. Ensures no work proceeds on a change until the homeowner has signed.
Subcontractor Coordinator
Manages subcontractor scheduling across all active projects — sends work orders with scope and timeline, tracks completion status, manages sub invoices against project budgets, and coordinates sequential trade scheduling (plumber before tile, electrician before drywall). Flags scheduling conflicts across projects.
Draw Schedule Agent
Manages the draw payment lifecycle for every project — generates invoices at each milestone, attaches progress photos and inspection documentation, sends payment links, and tracks collection. Handles both percentage-based and milestone-based draw schedules. Follows up on overdue draws with escalating reminders.
Marketing Agent
Manages referral follow-up, past-client reactivation, and seasonal campaigns. Sends project completion announcements with before/after photos (with homeowner permission). Runs targeted campaigns for seasonal work — deck season in spring, basement finishes in winter, outdoor living in summer. Tracks which referral sources generate the highest-value projects.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Change Order Agent generate formal change orders with digital signatures?
Yes. When a scope change is logged, the agent generates a document with the description, cost impact, timeline impact, and a digital signature field. The homeowner signs on their phone and the change order is attached to the project record.
How does subcontractor scheduling work across multiple active projects?
The Subcontractor Coordinator maintains each sub's availability and scheduled work across all your projects. It flags conflicts — for example, if your electrician is booked on two rough-ins the same week — and suggests rescheduling options.
Can it track draw payments against the original contract plus change orders?
Yes. The Draw Schedule Agent maintains a running total: original contract + approved change orders = current project value. Each draw is calculated against the current total, so the final payment always reflects the actual scope.
Does it handle Good/Better/Best material selections in estimates?
Yes. Configure your material tiers and the Estimating Agent generates multi-option proposals — for example, laminate vs. quartz vs. marble countertops — each with the cost difference clearly shown.
Can it track which subcontractors have been paid and which invoices are outstanding?
Yes. Each sub's invoices are logged against the project budget. You see total committed, total paid, and total outstanding per sub per project — and across all projects for each sub.
Does it send progress photos to homeowners automatically?
When your project manager uploads milestone photos, the agent can include them in draw invoices and progress updates. You control which photos go to the client and which are internal documentation only.
Can my project managers use it on-site from their phones?
Yes. PMs get a mobile view with their active projects, daily task lists, photo capture, change order creation, and milestone completion. Works as a PWA — no app store install required.
How is this different from Buildertrend or CoConstruct?
Those platforms are project management tools — they organize information but don't do the work. Sterling's agents actively generate change orders, send draw invoices, coordinate sub schedules, and follow up on leads. The AI does the administrative work, not just tracks it.
Can I import my existing customer and project data?
Yes. CSV import for customers and active projects. Most general contractors are fully set up in under an hour, including configuring their sub roster and cost database.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 14-day free trial with full access to all agents. No credit card required.
Your next referral is calling. Your current project needs a change order. Your sub needs a check.
Sterling General Contractor answers the call, documents the change, sends the draw invoice, and coordinates the subs. You focus on building.
