Question 1

Does it handle progress billing on milestone draws?

Accepted Answer

Yes — generate a separate invoice for each milestone draw, with the milestone described in the line items. The proposal generator structures the original contract with milestones; the invoice generator references those milestones in each draw invoice.

Question 2

Can it track change orders?

Accepted Answer

Change orders work as separate invoices added to the same client. Most GCs we talked to use a 'CO-001 Smith Kitchen' invoice number convention so the change orders are traceable in their accounting.

Question 3

Does it integrate with QuickBooks?

Accepted Answer

Direct integration isn't built. Operaite's accounting tracker exports CSV, which most accountants can import to QuickBooks. For GCs with full QuickBooks Contractor or Procore stacks, Operaite is mainly useful for the AI tools (review replies, proposals, marketing audit) — not as a replacement for that stack.

Question 4

What about subcontractor management?

Accepted Answer

Sub management isn't a feature today. Operaite is most useful for the GC who handles client-facing work themselves and wants better client communication. If you have 10+ subs to coordinate per job, you want Buildertrend or CoConstruct, not Operaite.
