GCs use Operaite differently than service trades — bigger jobs, fewer invoices, way more proposals. A typical week might be one or two new proposals (a deck quote, a kitchen scope), a draw invoice on an in-progress remodel, and four or five email responses to leads from last week's marketing.
The proposals tool earns its keep on the milestone draws. A $45,000 kitchen rolls out as deposit (15%), demo + rough-ins (30%), cabinet delivery (25%), tile + appliances (20%), final punch (10%). The same proposal becomes the five invoices that follow it — customer sees a consistent scope document, not five disconnected line-item lists.
End of month, the accounting tab gets used hard. GC margins are thin and unforgiving: insurance, vehicle, subs paid, materials, the one bad-debt customer from last quarter. Operaite tracks income and expense per project with notes, so when the CPA calls in January, you have a real P&L by job, not a stack of receipts.
