Subcontractor payments, without the spreadsheet chase.
Every subcontractor sends a different spreadsheet, checking them takes days, and under the Construction Act a payment notice or pay less notice issued late can leave you owing the sum applied for. Constructicore puts every application, assessment and notice on the package, on time and on the record.
- One format from every subcontractor. Applications arrive against the package's contract sum analysis, so you compare like with like.
- Deadlines from your side. Payment notice, pay less and final dates for every package, with bank holidays left out as the Act requires.
- Evidence as you go. Every notice is timestamped, emailed to the subcontractor and fingerprinted, with the PDF kept exactly as issued.
- Compliance before payment. See whether the signed subcontract and insurances are in place before you certify.
From package set-up to payment, in four steps.
The same valuation engine sits on both sides, so your assessment and the subcontractor's application always add up the same way.
-
Set up the package
Enter the package sum, retention, discount, payment terms and contract sum analysis, pasted from Excel. Or let the subcontractor propose it, and you approve and lock it.
-
Invite the subcontractor
They get an email link, with reminders if it is not accepted, and the package is set up in their account ready to apply. Already on Constructicore? It links to their existing account.
-
Assess the application
Go line by line: agree, reduce with a reason, or add a contra charge. Applications waiting for a notice are listed with the soonest deadline first.
-
Issue the notice and pay
The payment notice or pay less notice is produced from your assessment on your letterhead and emailed to the subcontractor. Record the payment and export the payment schedule for your finance team.
Everything around the application, on the same package.
Compliance stage
Choose the documents each package needs, such as the signed subcontract and insurance certificates. The subcontractor uploads them, expiry dates are tracked, and you see the status before certifying.
Variations and CSA changes
Package variations and changes to the contract sum analysis are proposed through the package and agreed by both sides, so the next application already reflects them.
Early warnings, events and RFIs
Early warnings, relevant and compensation events and RFIs raised by the subcontractor appear on the package, with your responses recorded against each one.
Certify early
Happy with an application before the due date? Certify it early, and the notice follows on the date your terms set.
Reports and exports
Liabilities by package, applied against certified, retention held and what is still to pay, plus a payment schedule as CSV for your finance system.
Messages with a record
Questions about an application are kept on the package, so the conversation sits next to the figures rather than in separate inboxes.
More of the job, on the same packages and people.
Constructicore grew out of the system we use to run our own contracting business. These are the tools main contractors ask us for next; tell us which you need and they will be built with you.
Site clocking in and timesheets
Clock in on site, hours on the weekly timesheet against the job, approved hours to payroll.
Health and safety statistics
Accidents, near misses, observations and inspections recorded on site, with the statistics clients and principal contractors ask for.
Site records
Daily diaries, photos, RAMS, certificates and drawings, filed by job and searchable.
Quality management
Procedures in one place, and corrective actions raised, tracked and closed.
Bring your subcontractors with you.
Subcontractors already on Constructicore link your package to their account. New ones join from your invitation with a free trial, and the package is set up for them, ready to apply.
- No new spreadsheet to learn. Their application is built from the contract sum analysis you agreed.
- Fewer queries. They see your assessment line by line, with the reason for every reduction.
- Want to cover their access? You can pay for your subcontractors to use your packages free, as an option on your plan.

Main contractor questions
Do our subcontractors have to pay?
Subcontractors you invite start with a free trial, then choose a plan to keep submitting applications; they can always view and export what is there. If you would rather they paid nothing for your packages, you can cover their access as an option on your plan.
What if a subcontractor already uses Constructicore?
They accept your invitation from their existing account, and your package links to the subcontract on their side. Applications and notices then pass between the two accounts automatically.
Can we keep our own subcontract terms?
Yes. Each package has its own payment terms: JCT, amended DOM terms, bespoke terms, or the Scheme for Construction Contracts where the contract falls short. Dates are worked out from those terms and each one shows how it was reached.
Is the main contractor side available now?
Yes. Subcontractor payments, compliance documents and change events are available now, with guided onboarding: we set up your first project and packages with you and stay close through the first payment cycles. Site clocking in, health and safety statistics and site records are on the roadmap.
Does Constructicore give legal advice?
No. It records your terms, works out dates from them and produces notices from your assessment. Check notice wording against your subcontract, and take advice from a construction solicitor on any dispute.
