eSUB
eSUB is a cloud-based construction management platform built exclusively for commercial specialty subcontractors. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in San Diego, CA, it centralizes project documentation (RFIs, submittals, change orders, daily reports), field-to-office communications, time and materials tracking, job costing, and progress billing. eSUB Cloud targets trade contractors—electrical, HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, concrete, masonry, drywall, and structural steel—who need a field-first, mobile-capable system that integrates with accounting platforms such as QuickBooks and Sage rather than replacing them.

- Daily field reporting and documentation for commercial subcontractors
- RFI and submittal workflow management with GC communication chains
