What does building a Construction Invoicing app include?

Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.

Discovery & Architecture

Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.

UI/UX Design

Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.

Development & QA

Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.

Launch & Support

User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.

Key features of your Construction Invoicing app

Schedule of Values & Progress Billing

Set up a schedule of values per contract and track progress billing by line item. Each pay period, PMs update completion percentages and the app calculates the current draw amount.

Pay Application Generation

Generate formatted pay applications with previous billing, current period billing, retention held, and net amount due. Applications route through approval workflows before submission to the owner.

Subcontractor Invoice Processing

Subs submit invoices through the app with line-item detail matching their subcontract. PMs review, approve, and route sub invoices to accounting with all backup documentation attached.

Retention & Final Billing Management

Track retention held and released per contract and subcontract. At project closeout, the app generates final billing packages with retention release documentation.

Frequently asked questions about Construction Invoicing apps

Does the app support AIA-format pay applications?+

Yes. We configure the schedule of values and billing format to match AIA G702/G703 conventions. The app calculates current billing, retention, and net amounts following standard construction billing practices.

Can subcontractors submit their invoices through the app?+

Yes. Subs access a portal where they submit invoices against their contract line items. PMs review submissions, request revisions if needed, and approve for payment — all within the app.

How does the app handle retention tracking?+

Retention percentages are configured per contract. The app automatically calculates retention held on each draw, tracks cumulative retention, and manages the release process at substantial completion.

Can the app integrate with our accounting software?+

Glide connects to accounting platforms through Zapier, Make, or direct integrations. Approved invoices and payment data can flow into your accounting system to eliminate manual entry.

How quickly can a construction invoicing app be built?+

Construction invoicing apps typically launch in 4-7 weeks depending on billing format requirements, the number of approval levels, and integration complexity with your accounting system.
