For Subcontractors
Daily reports for subcontractors, built from a text
Every general contractor wants your daily report, and each one wants it a little differently. With Cascade Technology, your foremen text what happened on site and Cascade builds the daily report. Works for subs of any size, from a two-truck crew to a multi-crew shop.
SEC 01 / The problem
Paperwork shouldn’t wait until the truck ride home
Foremen finish the day, then get asked for manpower, work completed and delays in yet another general contractor’s app. Reports get late or skipped, and when there’s a dispute about a delay or a back charge, there’s no record. Cascade turns the texts your foremen already send into a dated daily report.
SEC 02 / How it works
Your foremen text. Cascade does the rest.
- Text the day. Crew count, work done, delays, safety and photos, in plain words.
- Cascade builds the report. Organized into a clean daily report with weather and timestamps.
- Send it anywhere. Share it with the general contractor, keep it for your records, and use it when questions come up later.

SEC 03 / Why subs use it
Built for how subs work
- No app to learn. If your foremen can text, they can report.
- One process across every general contractor you work for.
- A dated record of manpower, delays and conditions for disputes and back charges.
- Free onboarding, a one-month pilot and no contract lock-in.
SEC 04 / Proof
The reports actually get sent
General contractors using Cascade see 95%+ sub daily report compliance. On Venture General Contracting LLC jobs, sub compliance went from about 50% to 96%+. Read the Venture case study
