AI for contractors — the billing, the books, and the next job

Command bills the way construction actually works — G702/G703-style progress billing, retainage, lien waivers, a live WIP schedule — on a real double-entry ledger. Then the same system finds your next best customers on a map, by trade and area.

WHY THIS WORKS FOR CONTRACTORS

Command keeps your books, so it knows which jobs actually made money — which GCs paid and how fast, what retainage is still out, where the margin really came from. The billing pack and the map both read from that same ledger.

HOW IT WORKS

Run the job from bid to paid.

One system carries the whole arc — proposal, contract, progress billing, collection — and every dollar of it posts to a real general ledger as it happens.

1

Win the work

Proposals with e-signature built in — the customer signs on a public link, and an accepted proposal converts straight to a draft invoice. A proposal never touches the books until then.

2

Set the schedule of values

The contract workspace holds the schedule of values, and change orders flow into it — so what you bill against is always the current contract, not last month's spreadsheet.

3

Bill by progress

Issue G702/G703-style pay applications against the schedule of values. Certifying one posts the real journal entry — receivable plus retainage receivable against revenue — automatically.

4

Collect and reconcile

Payments post to the ledger when recorded, and the bank feed reconciles deterministically — engine-suggested matches, human confirm, statement sessions to zero. No LLM ever computes a money figure.

THE CONSTRUCTION PACK

Progress billing that speaks G702/G703.

Construction billing with AI shouldn’t mean a generic invoice with a logo. Command’s opt-in construction pack does the industry’s actual paperwork — and posts the accounting behind it correctly, every time.

PAY APPS

G702/G703 pay applications

Applications for payment in the format GCs and owners expect — continuation-sheet math over the schedule of values, completed and stored to date, balance to finish.

RETAINAGE

Retainage as its own receivable

Withheld dollars post to a dedicated retainage receivable at certification — visible per contract, not buried in A/R where they quietly disappear from your collections list.

WAIVERS

Lien waivers in the flow

Waivers travel with the pay-app cycle, so the paperwork that unlocks payment is tracked next to the application it belongs to — not in a folder somewhere.

CHANGES

Change orders that update the math

Change orders flow into the schedule of values and the WIP view, so pay apps always bill against the contract as it stands today.

WIP & JOB COST

Know where every job stands — from the ledger, not a guess.

Because Command IS the books, the WIP schedule reads billed-to-date against real posted cost per job — the same numbers your accountant would compute, live.

The WIP schedule

Billed versus cost on every open contract, straight from the general ledger — over- and under-billing visible at a glance instead of discovered at year-end.

Job cost that cites its entries

Costs land on the job's cost object as they post, so job margin is a ledger fact — click any figure through to the exact journal entries behind it.

Crew hours into job margin

Approved crew hours × cost rate roll into each job's realized margin — a live managerial rollup that shows which jobs (and which kinds of work) actually pay.

And for the season every contractor knows is coming: the reports desk runs a rolling 13-week cash runway from your real balances and receivables — so the slow months are a plan, not a surprise.

THE BOOKS

A QuickBooks alternative built for how contractors bill.

Generic small-business accounting makes contractors fake it — progress billing as workarounds, retainage as a manual journal habit, job cost in a spreadsheet on the side. Command’s ledger does construction natively.

GENERIC BOOKS + WORKAROUNDS

What contractors put up with

Progress billing hacked out of standard invoices
Retainage tracked by hand — or forgotten in A/R
Job cost lives in a spreadsheet nobody trusts
Leads and follow-up in a separate CRM that never sees the money
COMMAND FOR CONTRACTORS

What Command runs natively

A real double-entry ledger — every figure computed live from posted entries, never cached
G702/G703, retainage, lien waivers, and WIP as first-class accounting
Deterministic bank reconciliation — AI proposes matches, you confirm, no LLM on money figures
A migration path from QuickBooks: chart of accounts, customers, vendors, open invoices and bills, historical journal — with a dry-run preview before anything posts
OFFENSE · FIND THE NEXT JOB

A map that finds your next best customers — by trade and area.

Every customer you have is a pin, colored by what they actually left in the ledger. Draw a radius over the territory you want to win, and an AI agent sources businesses like your most profitable customers — the GC who pays in 20 days, the property manager with repeat work — scored 0–100 from your real numbers, not from clicks.

Candidates land as proposed parties — deduplicated, provenance-cited — and you promote or dismiss each one. No auto cold-blast; outreach in Command is hot-only. See how the map works →

Agents propose; you confirm. Your customer list stays clean.
QUESTIONS

Contractor questions, answered straight.

Yes. Command's construction pack does progress billing in the G702/G703 style: you set a schedule of values on the contract, change orders flow into it, and each pay application computes completed and stored to date, retainage, previous certificates, and current payment due. Certifying a pay application posts the real journal entry automatically — receivable plus retainage receivable against revenue — so the billing and the books can never drift apart.

Run the whole job —
billing, books, and the next lead.

Bring a real contract and see it live: the pay-app math, the retainage line, the WIP view, and the map sourcing look-alikes of your best customers in your own territory.
