Construction and contracting billing software — RA bills and retention

Contracting bills work that has been certified, in stages, and never gets paid the full amount at the time. Software that treats an RA bill as an ordinary invoice gets the ledger wrong from the first certificate.

Progress billing, with retention in the books

A stage is certified, a bill is raised, and a percentage is held back. That retention posts to the ledger as a balance rather than living as a subtraction on a printed page, which is what makes the release — months later, sometimes years — an ordinary transaction rather than an archaeology exercise.

The words a contractor uses

Clients, not customers. Work items, not items. Tenders, not quotations. RA bills, not invoices. The screens are the same screens; the labels stop fighting the site office.

Job costing that already existed

Cost centres do this job and the pack simply points them at it. Every material purchase, every sub-contractor bill and every overhead charged to a site sits against that site, so the question of which contract is actually making money has an answer that comes out of the books rather than out of a spreadsheet.

What sits on a client

Contract number and site or project name, so every bill can be traced to the agreement it was raised under. Retention percentage, on the client, so it does not have to be remembered per bill.

Compliance on a progress bill

A certified stage is a supply. It is invoiced, stamped and reported like any other — ZATCA Phase 2 in Saudi Arabia, VAT across the Gulf, GST in India.

What it costs

Free for the first year, compliance included. Support and AI capacity are what the paid plans buy.
