Where it hurts
Five things that make a remodel a nightmare to bill.
Change orders. Draw schedules. Subs. The stuff QuickBooks gets wrong.
Kitchen remodel: 30% deposit, 30% at demo, 30% at cabinets, 10% at punch list. QuickBooks makes that four separate invoices from scratch.
Invoice Link: One estimate for the whole project. Issue progress invoices against it — each one carries the line items and photos forward. Client sees exactly where the money is going.
Client says yes to three change orders verbally. Two months later they 'don't remember authorizing' one of them.
Invoice Link: Every change order goes out as a signed estimate. Client taps Accept or Reject in the browser. Signature is saved. Dispute-proof.
Receipts from the lumberyard, the paint store, and the tile shop — all for one client's bathroom — pile up in the console.
Invoice Link: Snap each receipt with on-device OCR. Tag it to that client. P&L report shows you exactly what you spent vs. what you charged. Margin per project, clearly.
Client balks at putting $42,000 on a card. Deal stalls.
Invoice Link: Buy Now, Pay Later via Affirm/Klarna/Afterpay (separate from ACH; eligibility-based) lets the client split payments. ACH at 0.8% (capped at $5) is also available — paid in full, not installments. Either way you get paid in full upfront.
Subs need to see their portion of an invoice. You're typing the same numbers twice into a subcontractor agreement.
Invoice Link: Track subs as expenses linked to the job. Flag any as reimbursable and they roll onto the next invoice. Export everything to Excel for your bookkeeper.

On the job
A GC's project through the app.
One kitchen remodel, start to finish.
$38,500 kitchen remodel. Client wants to break ground in 3 weeks. Your draw schedule is 30/30/30/10.
You build the estimate on your phone at the walkthrough — 42 line items covering demo, cabinets, counters, tile, appliances, electrical sub, plumbing sub, paint. 30% deposit baked in ($11,550). Client signs on your phone. Deposit clears by morning. Cabinets ordered Monday.
Demo done. Client wants to upgrade the backsplash tile — adds $1,400. Also time for the second draw.
Change order goes out as a signed estimate. Client taps Accept, signs. Second progress invoice ($11,550) fires from the original estimate. Client pays by ACH this time — saves them $335 in card fees. Invoice Link tracks the balance: $15,400 remaining, plus the $1,400 change order.
Job's done. Photos of the finished kitchen attached. Final invoice for the remaining balance plus the approved change order.
Convert the final progress invoice. Final 30% draw ($11,550) + final 10% punch list ($3,850) + approved $1,400 change order. Total: $16,800. Client pays by card and ACH. You get paid in full upfront. Your expenses are tagged to the project — the P&L report breaks down revenue vs. cost so you can see real margin, not a guess.

Questions
Straight answers.
Can I do progress billing with a 30/30/30/10 draw schedule?
Yes. Build one estimate for the full project. Issue progress invoices against it as each milestone completes — deposit, demo, rough-in/cabinets, final. Each one carries the project's line items and photos. The app tracks total billed vs. estimate.
How do change orders work?
Each change order goes out as a new estimate. Client taps Accept and signs in the browser — dispute-proof. Once approved, it either gets rolled into the next progress invoice or issued as a standalone invoice. Your choice.
Does it support AIA G702/G703 formatting?
Not in a native G702/G703 template today — we generate clean PDF invoices with line items, deposits, progress tracking, and photo documentation. For projects requiring strict AIA formatting, you can export to Excel and format from there. Contact us if AIA templates would be a deal-breaker.
Can clients pay a $40K remodel in installments?
Yes. Buy Now, Pay Later via Affirm/Klarna/Afterpay (separate from ACH; eligibility-based) is available at checkout. Your client splits the payment over monthly installments — you still receive the full amount upfront. Bank transfer (ACH) at 0.8% is also available, but ACH is paid in full and does not do installments.
Can I see margin per project?
Yes. Link every expense (lumberyard runs, sub payments, materials, permits) to the client. The Profit & Loss report shows revenue minus expenses by client or by date range. Real margin, not guesses.
