Score and incentivize subs with smart reputation and bonus system.
Small construction business owners deal with unreliable subcontractors who miss deadlines and deliver poor quality work, resulting in project delays and unhappy clients.
BuildScore tracks sub performance across jobs, assigning dynamic scores that unlock bonuses or penalties. Owners set incentives, and subs see scores to motivate better work. Transparent leaderboards build accountability without micromanaging.
