- Less admin, more control
Key benefits
Built around how you work.
Agreed work, task progress and commercial records in the same workspace.
Allocate your team
Assign workers or subcontractors to the relevant work.
Progress with context
Keep photos, notes and issues with the work while online.
Review completed work
Check submissions and return tasks that need attention.
Time alongside pricework
Keep hourly/daywork calculations separate from priced tasks.
Keep retention visible
See agreed, released and held amounts on approved tasks.
Retention stays connected to the work.
At approval, hold a fixed amount or percentage for snags, with a reason and checklist. The worker requests inspection when ready. Released retention becomes a separate invoice line without rewriting an issued invoice.
Pricework included in every plan.
Choose your plan by active-worker allowance. Full administrators manage wider commercial records; managers and workers see what their role and assigned scope allow.

Common questions
Pricework Management FAQs
What is pricework management in TradeCore?
Priced tasks connect a worker, site or work area and work stage to completion review and worker invoicing. Pricework uses agreed task values rather than converting clocked hours into pay.
Can different trades use pricework?
Yes. Use your company’s work stages and relevant plots, rooms or work areas. Tasks can be allocated to workers or subcontractors.
Can I see progress before completion?
Workers can start, pause and submit tasks, with job photos, notes and issues providing context. A recorded stage or task status is not a measured percentage-complete estimate.
How should we handle variations or changed work?
Keep agreed changes recorded with the job and review task values through the permitted allocation/review process before invoicing. Do not treat job notes as an automatic contract variation or silently rewrite approved or invoiced records. Ask the administrator to resolve changes to protected records.
Can I hold retention for snags?
Yes. At pricework approval, hold a fixed amount or percentage with a reason and snag checklist. After the worker requests inspection and the manager releases retention, the released amount becomes separately invoiceable.
Can a worker have pricework and daywork in the same week?
Yes. The records and calculations remain separate. Pricework does not become hourly pay because attendance was recorded, and the same work is not billed twice.
Can I review work before approving an invoice?
Yes. Review submitted tasks and supporting records, then review the worker invoice. Task completion, invoice approval and payment are distinct steps.
When can completed pricework be invoiced?
Eligible approved amounts become available in the worker’s invoice period. Held retention is not available until released. Issued invoices are protected from being rewritten.
Does TradeCore transfer money to workers?
No. TradeCore records approvals, worker invoices and payment status. Your normal banking or accounting process makes the payment.
Can I use it across multiple sites?
Yes. Pricework remains connected to its site, worker and work areas across the company, subject to each person’s access.
Is pricework included in every plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the same features. Choose the active-worker allowance your company needs.
