Why general contractors need a job log app

Logged is an invoicing app for general contractors: send a line-itemized estimate the client accepts from a web link, bill in stages — deposit, draw, final — with partial payments tracked automatically, and close out with phase-tagged photos and the homeowner's signature in the PDF.

Every GPS-stamped photo doubles as change-order and permit documentation, it works offline on signal-dead job sites, and it's free to download; Pro is $9.99/month.

The bid wins on clarity, not flash

Homeowners compare three GCs side by side. The one with a clean, line-itemized estimate the client can accept from their phone wins more often than the one promising to "write something up tonight." Logged sends a web-link estimate the client signs off on without printing anything.

Stage billing is how cash flow stays positive

Deposit, mid-project draw, final balance. Logged tracks each partial payment against the job total; the Partial badge updates with every collection; the invoice promotes to Paid when the full amount is in.

Photo documentation protects against the change-order argument

"That wasn't in the original scope." A timestamped, GPS-stamped before photo settles it. Logged tags every photo (Before / In Progress / After) and groups them in the PDF under section headers — the documentation the client and the appraiser both want.

How Logged fits a GC's project

Estimate → contract → accepted

Build the line-itemized bid in Logged. Send it as a web link. The client accepts from their phone. Logged converts the estimate to a job, line items carry over.

Stage invoices through the project

Send the deposit invoice — payable by card (Pro). Mid-project draw same flow. Final balance at completion. Each payment is tracked; the math reconciles itself.

Close out with signature and photos

Capture the homeowner's signature at completion. Generate the final PDF — photos grouped by phase, signature embedded, totals reconciled. One document for the file cabinet, the appraiser, and the warranty record.

FAQ

Common questions from general contractors

Can clients accept a contractor's estimate from a phone link?

Yes — Logged emails an estimate as a web link. The client reviews the line items and photos in their browser and taps Accept or Decline. You get a push notification the moment they respond.

Can I bill in stages — deposit, mid-project, final?

Yes — Logged supports partial payments. Bill each stage as it comes; payments accumulate against the total; the invoice auto-promotes to Paid when the full balance is reached.

Will Logged work for permit and insurance documentation?

Yes — every job exports a PDF with itemized line items, photos (timestamped and GPS-stamped), customer info, and the homeowner's signature. Suitable for permit office, insurance adjuster, or appraisal records.

Does Logged work in a signal-dead construction zone?

Yes — every screen runs offline, including Send. Build the job, take photos, capture signatures, generate PDFs, and tap Send with no signal — Logged queues it and sends automatically the moment you have signal.

Can I assign subs through Logged?

No. Logged is built for solo operators. There are no sub-assignments or team logins in v1.
