The problems contractors and subcontractors face every day — and how Constratto fixes them

Finding qualified subcontractors takes weeks

Contractors spend days calling around, asking for referrals, and vetting tradespeople before a single bid comes in. By the time quotes arrive, project timelines are already slipping.

Post an assignment on Constratto and receive structured bids from vetted subcontractors within hours. Filter by trade, location, and capacity — no more cold calls.

Comparing bids is a spreadsheet nightmare

Bids arrive by email in different formats — some as PDFs, others as text messages. It is nearly impossible to do a fair comparison, and important details get buried or lost.

Every bid follows a structured format. Use weighted scoring to rank proposals by what matters most to your project — price, timeline, environmental credentials, or trade certifications. No more gut-feel decisions.

Contract drafting is slow, expensive, and inconsistent

Most contractors either rely on generic Word templates that miss critical clauses or pay a lawyer every time. Either way, contracts vary from job to job, creating legal and operational risk.

Constratto generates a ready-to-sign contract directly from the accepted bid. Standard terms are pre-built in; you fill in what is specific to the job. No lawyers needed for routine contracts.

Milestone tracking is manual and error-prone

Tracking which milestones have been completed and which sign-offs are still pending requires constant back-and-forth — often falling through the cracks.

Define milestones at contract creation. When a subcontractor marks work complete, you approve it in one click. The record is automatically logged and visible to both parties.

Finding new contract work is inconsistent and exhausting

Subcontractors depend on word-of-mouth and existing relationships to fill their schedule. When a long-term client goes quiet, the pipeline dries up fast and there is no structured way to find new work.

Browse open assignments posted by contractors across Norway. Filter by trade, region, and project size. Submit a bid in minutes — no cold outreach, no chasing leads.

Competing against larger companies with no visibility

Smaller subcontractors rarely get invited to tender on larger projects because they lack the networks or a professional online presence to be discovered by new clients.

Your Constratto profile is a digital CV — trade, region, capacity, and past projects. Attach environmental certifications like ISO 14001 or Eco-Lighthouse to your profile, and when a contractor weights environmental score highly, your bid rises to the top automatically.

No paper trail when disputes arise

Without a formal, signed contract and clear milestone records, following up on disagreements is awkward and hard to resolve. Verbal agreements leave you exposed.

Every job accepted through Constratto is backed by a signed contract with explicit milestones. The platform creates a full paper trail — timestamps, approvals, and documents — that protects you if a dispute arises.

Document chaos across multiple ongoing projects

Plans, specs, change orders, and handover documents are scattered across email threads, USB drives, and shared folders. Finding the right version of a drawing under time pressure is stressful.

Every contract in Constratto has a dedicated document vault. Upload drawings, specs, change orders, and handover reports — all versioned and accessible to both parties, from any device.
