See how the workflow fits together
Allocate the right people to ready plots
Organise each development into plots, then allocate workers to the relevant work areas and trade stages. The weekly schedule shows who is assigned and where they are due. When a worker records holiday or sickness, review availability and move the affected work to someone else instead of relying on an old spreadsheet.
Keep the next visit connected to the last one
A plot may need preparation, first fix or coating work before a later return visit. Use your trade workflow to show the stage, and keep readiness notes, photos and issues with the work area. Workers can see their jobs and update progress while the office follows what has been recorded.
Approve pricework and hold retention for snags
Workers start a pricework task and submit it when complete without having to record daily hours for that task. The office sees work awaiting approval and can hold a fixed amount or percentage against an agreed snag checklist. Once the snags are checked and the retention is released, the worker can invoice the retained amount separately. Daywork remains separate, with daily entries grouped into weekly timesheets for review.
Keep unfinished pricework in the schedule
Started, unfinished pricework can carry forward to the next eligible working day on the same job. Company working days and recorded absences are respected. If another allocation clashes, the office is notified so a manager can resolve the plan rather than silently double-booking the worker.
One view for the office and the site team
Full administrators control company access. Office staff can manage day-to-day records, while contracts managers work within their assigned scope. Workers get their own view for allocations, attendance and job updates. Your logo and colours carry through the app on phones, tablets and computers.
An example in practice
A decorating contractor has teams on two developments. The manager allocates preparation on plots 12–15 and finishing work on plots 21–23. A worker reports sickness, so the manager reviews the allocation and reassigns it. Progress photos and snagging notes stay with the relevant plot for the returning team.

TradeCore gives you a clear view of what’s happening across your developments, helping you deliver on time, to standard and with less hassle.

Common questions
New-build FAQs
Can I manage multiple developments?
Yes. All plans include unlimited sites. The plan allowance is based on active workers; administrators and managers do not count towards it.
Can I allocate plots to different workers or subcontractors?
Yes. Allocate workers to the relevant plots and trade stages in the weekly schedule. You can plan more than one job in a day and review availability when holiday or sickness is recorded.
Can we track snags and outstanding issues?
Yes. Keep issues, photos and notes with the relevant job or plot so the site team and office can follow outstanding work and its progress.
Can I hold retention until pricework snags are complete?
Yes. When approving pricework, an administrator can hold a fixed amount or percentage and record the snag checklist. Released retention becomes separately invoiceable, rather than being paid twice as part of the original task.
Does this work for both site and office teams?
Full administrators control company access. Office staff can manage day-to-day records, while contracts managers work within their assigned scope. Workers get their own view for allocations, attendance and job updates. Your logo and colours carry through the app on phones, tablets and computers.
Can we also manage domestic jobs?
Yes. Organise a domestic property by rooms and a new-build development by plots within the same company.
Are the trade stages fixed?
No. Each trade has a starting workflow that your company can edit to match its process.
Does the free trial need a payment card?
No. Choose a plan and try TradeCore for 30 days with that plan’s active-worker allowance. All features and unlimited sites are included. You choose whether to start a paid subscription; the trial does not automatically charge you.
