Where home builder billing breaks down
The friction every home builder owner recognizes.
Construction loan draws delay funding because of missing lien waivers
Bank requires lien waiver from every sub before releasing the draw. You're chasing 12 subs for paperwork. Funding delays by 5-7 days per draw.
Selection upgrades not invoiced separately
Owner upgrades cabinet allowance from $15k to $28k. Without separate upgrade invoicing, the $13k overage gets lost in the final bill.
Multi-draw projects lose track of cumulative paid
Project has 5 draws over 8 months. Without cumulative tracking, you don't know how much is funded vs unfunded at any moment.
Cut AR by 80% on recurring revenue
Auto-charge saved cards for recurring service contracts. Failed payments auto-retry + email customer. The chasing-payments task disappears.
