The unscheduled Tuesday

You're not running a build. You're running a phone.

Framing wraps Tuesday. You text three plumbers. Two don't reply. One says “maybe next week.” Meanwhile your construction loan runs $350 a day.

Average monthly interest

$0

Per delayed home, on a $350,000 construction loan draw at 7.75%. NAHB 2025 estimate. Multiply by your active homes.

Pipeline scanned for conflicts

Across every active home, two weeks ahead. If the same trade is needed twice the same week, you get an alert before either crew shows up.

Conflict detected · 12 days early

127 Mango Ave also needs Rough Plumbing the week of May 14.

You can re-sequence or contact backup before either crew arrives.

Product

Six things TradesQueue does so you don't have to.

Pipeline board

One screen, all your homes

See current phase, next trade, and status for every active build. Updated automatically as your subs respond to texts.

SMS-first

Your subs don't download anything

Subs text back. TradesQueue handles the rest. No app, no login, no behavior change. The channel they already use, automated.

Availability auto-requests

Your plumber's voicemail is no longer your problem

TradesQueue texts your preferred sub, waits 24 hours, escalates to backup. Automatically. You see the result, not the chase.

Conflict detection

Catch the gap two weeks before it costs you

Scans your whole pipeline. Flags when the same trade is needed at two homes the same week. You hear about it 12 days early, not 12 days late.

Performance scorecard

Who actually shows up

Response rate. On-time rate. Completion accuracy. Built passively from texts. After six months you know which subs to call first.

Delay impact calculator

Watch your carrying cost drop

Every idle day gets a dollar figure based on your loan rate. Makes the hidden cost of scheduling failures impossible to ignore.

Your pipeline, one screen

Every active home. Every upcoming trade. Every problem you don't see yet.

The board is built from what your subs are already telling you. You don't maintain a Gantt chart. TradesQueue does.

Compliance

Built for the rules. Documented for the audit.

SMS coordination only works if the carriers trust the sender and the regulators trust the consent flow. Both run through TradesQueue.

Opt-in & opt-out

Consent before any message.

Every subcontractor receives a one-time YES request before any scheduling message is sent. STOP is processed immediately and permanently. The platform never messages a number that hasn't opted in.
