Pay app job costing view — panel drops in here

The job position shouldn't live in three spreadsheets and someone's memory

Month end today means QuickBooks in one tab, the cost report in a spreadsheet and the pay app in another. BuildPass pulls it into one place, so you see movement the day it happens, not four weeks later.

Visibility

See the position, live

Budget vs committed vs actual across every cost code, updated as the job runs.

Accuracy

Invoices that code themselves

Bills are read, coded to the right cost code and queued for approval. Your team reviews instead of re-typing.

Control

Claim everything you're owed

Pay applications, change orders and retainage managed against the prime contract, so nothing gets missed at claim time.

How it works

From budget to bank, in one flow

Four steps, one place. Set the budget, run the costs, claim the work and see the cash, without rebuilding anything between stages.

Budget and job costing

The budget you priced, tracked live

The budget lands on the same cost codes you priced with in preconstruction, tracked against committed and actual costs as the job runs.

  • Budget. Set the job budget on your own cost codes.
  • Commitments. Committed costs tracked against every line.
  • Change orders. Scope and price changes tracked to the contract.

Bills and invoices

Coded and queued for approval

Upload a bill and it's read, coded to the right cost code and queued for approval. Nobody re-types a line item, and nothing hits the numbers until it's approved.

  • Bills. Captured and coded against the budget.
  • Approvals. Queued to the right approver, human in the loop.
  • Purchase orders. Raised against the budget, matched when the bill lands.

Pay apps and retainage

Claim everything you're owed

Pay applications run against the prime contract and schedule of values, from submitted through certified. Retainage is withheld per application and released on schedule, in both directions.

  • Pay applications. Built on the schedule of values, claimed then certified.
  • Retainage. Auto-withheld per application, released as its own application.
  • Sub pay apps. The sub side of the money tracked alongside yours.

WIP, cash and reporting

See the squeeze before it hits the account

WIP reporting joins what you've billed to what it's cost, and cash forecasting shows where each job and the whole business is heading.

  • WIP reporting. Billed to date against cost to date, per job.
  • Cash forecasting. Where the money lands, before it lands.
  • Reporting. The position by period, without the spreadsheet shuffle.
