Build · Financials

Money, reconciled with reality.

Budgets, forecasts, change orders and claims sit against the work the site actually shows. When a line is billed, the frame that proves it is one click away — and when it cannot be proved, it is held before it becomes a dispute.

What finance runs on

The whole cost record, on the same ground truth.

Six modules against one set of facts. The quantity that closes a daily log is the quantity that bills, so the field and the ledger never disagree about what got built.

Budget & forecasting

Original budget, approved changes, committed cost and forecast to complete on one line. Move a quantity in the field and the forecast moves the same night — no month-end surprise, no parallel spreadsheet.

Change orders

Potential change order through to executed, carrying the RFI, drawing revision or delay that caused it. Scope that is already priced somewhere else is flagged before it is priced twice.

Progress claims & invoicing

Build the claim from installed quantities instead of from memory. Schedule of values, retention and stored materials come through in the format the owner already accepts, and the invoice goes out the same day.

Pay-app verification against capture

Every claimed line is checked against what the drones and the walks actually saw that period. Work that is provably there clears; the rest is held with the frame that shows why.

Cash-flow projection

Cost AI projects cash in and out across the portfolio from committed cost, claim cycles and how each owner has actually paid — a head of the same GR Brain that reads the site.

ERP sync

Two-way sync with the general ledger — cost codes, commitments, invoices and payments. Finance stops rekeying numbers that already exist.

Capture-verified billing

Pay for work that's provably there.

Scroll the period and it reconciles in front of you. The claim totals up, the capture-verified figure follows it, and the gap that no frame supports is hatched out and held until it is.

Every held line opens the frame that failed to show the work.

A held line is not an accusation — it is a question with the evidence already attached. The subcontractor opens the same frame the reviewer opened, sees the two floors that were claimed and the one that was hung, and re-submits against next period. A claim that settles off the record never has to settle in a conference room.

Owners get the same view without the site visit: what was claimed, what was verified, what is held, and the capture date behind each figure.

The pay application is one line of a larger balance. Delivered, moved, installed, stockpiled and hauled off reconcile as one equation — every term measured with its ±, the residual stated as a residual — and that balance is drawn in full on the record’s own reconciliation sheet.

The stakes
