BAGEL
For general contractors with 1–10 people

Run every job from one simple app.

Why Bagel

Built for the way small crews actually work

Most construction software is made for companies ten times your size and priced to match.

No more typing it three times

One change on site shouldn't mean updating the estimate, the change order, the schedule and a text to the client by hand.

Plan the work, not just the dates

Line up what each part of the job needs before it starts: materials, permits, crew, the client’s choices. Work starts when it’s ready, so nobody shows up to a job that can’t move.

One price, no per-seat fees

Add your whole crew, your office manager and your partner. It's still $99 a month.

When something changes on site

Log it once. Bagel does the paperwork.

A late delivery, rot behind the tile, a client who wants an upgrade: tell Bagel once, and the estimate, change order, schedule and client note all follow.

Say what happened

Type it the way you'd text it, and add photos if you have them. Bagel knows the job, the estimate and the schedule.

Check Bagel's draft

The change order, the price and schedule changes, and a plain-language note for your client, all priced with your own labor rate and markup. Edit anything.

Your client signs on their phone

They get one link: no app, no account, no password. They see what changed and why, and sign it there.

Plan the work

Plan every job, piece by piece

Break the job into work packages, line up what each one needs, and see weeks ahead what to chase. When plans change, the schedule moves with you.

Work packages

Group the job into phases and packages: what comes first, who’s doing it, what it costs. A package shows as Ready only when everything it needs is in place.

Permits and inspections

Bagel’s draft lists the permits and inspections the job needs. Each one is tracked with a need-by date and who’s on it, so the crew is never waiting on paperwork.

6-week look-ahead

See what’s starting soon and what it’s still waiting on: materials, permits, crew or subs, the client’s choices. Chase it now, not the morning of.

Gantt schedule

The whole job on a timeline, with what depends on what. Drag a package to a new date and see what else moves before you save, or split a package to resequence the work.

For your clients

Stay in sync with your clients

Set expectations together, from day one: what’s happening when, what you need from them and by when, and what any change costs before the work starts. It all lives on one private page for your client. No app, no account, no password: just a link from you. Fewer “so… when will the tile go in?” calls.

  • See the progress

    What’s done, what’s happening now, what’s next and when it should finish. Shown by week, so a one-day slip isn’t a broken promise.

  • Photos you choose to share

    Snap a few shots from the site and add a line. Only what you share is shown.

  • Make their selections and decisions

    Tile, fixtures, paint: they approve with their name, you see it right away, and the sub can sign off too. Questions come with a “need by” date so nothing holds up the crew.

  • Sign change orders and the contract

    Plain-language wording, the price and the time it adds, signed on their phone. Invoices are there too.

  • Talk in one place

    Messages, photos and design ideas stay with the job instead of scattered across texts and email.

Clients never see your costs, your markup, your subs’ details or other job notes. You decide what goes on their page.

Everything for the job

Estimate it, run it, get paid

Estimates in minutes

Describe the job or upload plans, sketches and photos. Bagel drafts the work, the price and the schedule with your rates. Every number is yours to change.

Change orders they sign on a phone

Clear wording your client can understand, signed from a link. Every signed change adds to the job total and the next invoice.

Priced the way you price

Set your labor rate, markup and the prices you pay once. Every estimate uses them, and you can change any number, or raise or lower every price at once.

Selections everyone signs off

Tile, fixtures, paint: the homeowner, you and the sub each check them off. Go over the allowance and the change order drafts itself.

Send a sub everything they need

The scope, the client’s choices and the files for their part, by text or email in one tap. Never your prices or your client’s contact details.

Contracts and invoices

A contract built from your estimate, a payment schedule, and invoices that include signed change orders. Print or save any of them as a PDF.

Pricing

One flat price. Your whole team.

No per-seat fees, no add-ons, no contract. Your clients and subs never need an account, so they never cost you anything either.
