Subtrades confirmed the day before they start
A tiler who doesn't show costs you a day and an angry client. The agent calls every sub on tomorrow's schedule the afternoon before, and your PM hears about a no in time to fix it.
A subtrade on tomorrow's project schedule: drywall, tile, electrical, plumbing, flooring, paint.
Calls to confirm the time and address, checks materials and access, records yes, no or late.
A confirmed board for tomorrow, and an alert to the PM for every no while there's time to fix it.
How it works
- Reads tomorrow's schedule
Each afternoon, every sub booked to start or return tomorrow, on every job.
- Calls the sub
"You're on the Fernbank basement tomorrow at 8, taping the second coat. Still good?" Short, the way a site super asks.
- Checks what they need
Is the material on site, does the lockbox code still work, is the previous trade finished. Anything off goes to the PM.
- Records the answer
Yes, no or later, on the schedule, with the sub's own words.
- Flags the PM on a no
Right away, with the job, the trade and the reason, so the PM can call a backup or warn the client before 8 a.m.
- Tells the client if you want
With the PM's say-so, a short text to the homeowner about who's coming tomorrow and when.
Example call
- AI agentHi Marco, it's Emma from Grayhaven. You're on the Kowalski basement on Fernbank tomorrow at 8 for the shower tile. Still good?
- CustomerYeah, I'll be there. Is the tile delivered though? Last time it wasn't.
- AI agentThe schedule shows the tile delivered Tuesday. Steve marked it in the garage. The lockbox code is the same as last week.
- CustomerOkay good. I might be 8:30, I'm finishing a job in Stittsville.
- AI agentNo problem, I'll put 8:30 on the board and let Steve know. Thanks Marco.
After the call: The board shows Marco confirmed for 8:30, Steve has a note that he's half an hour late, and the homeowner has a text that the tile setter arrives about 8:30.

Questions
Will subs mind a call every day?
It's one short call the afternoon before they're on a job, the same call a good site super makes. Subs who prefer a text get a text.
What happens if a sub says no?
The PM gets an alert at once with the job and the reason. The agent doesn't book a replacement; your PM picks who.
Does it read lockbox codes out?
Only to the sub booked on that job, and only if you choose to keep codes on the schedule.
