What this replaces

One missed lien-waiver deadline can cost a GC-scale contractor five figures.

Bid pipelines, change orders, lien waivers, subcontractor pay applications, weather delay claims — the operator running $2M-$20M a year manages all six in QuickBooks, three spreadsheets, and email.

One missed deadline is real money. This system pulls every financial surface into one workspace with the compliance drift caught before it costs anything.

Progress billing is generated from the schedule of values on the same day every month, and every payment posts against the job it belongs to — so the $97,600 held in retention is tracked as money owed, not money forgotten. Anything past 60 days escalates to the owner.

GC-scale ops today

  • Bid follow-ups tracked in a spreadsheet · half the time missed the deadline
  • Change orders emailed, sometimes approved, sometimes not — billed anyway, disputed later
  • Lien waivers generated in Word from an old template · one wrong statute reference = void
  • Subcontractor pay-apps processed without matching signed waivers · exposure at close-out
  • Weather delays remembered by memory · claims filed late or not at all

GC-scale ops with this system

  • Bid pipeline with follow-up scheduling per bid, win-loss reason logged for every closed bid
  • Change-order workflow: internal → GC review → approved → auto-generates contract addendum
  • Lien waivers auto-generated per state statute (TX/CA/NY/FL) at each payment tranche
  • No pay-app clears without matching signed waiver from the sub — enforced at the workflow level
  • Weather delays auto-logged from nearest NOAA station · claim drafts pre-filled with conditions + hours lost
