Build a Construction Invoicing App with Glide

A construction invoicing app built with Glide gives contractors and builders a structured billing system that matches construction project economics — progress billing, retainage, change orders, and lien waivers — without the complexity of contractor-specific accounting software. GlideApps Agency builds construction billing tools for general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty trades that need to invoice accurately at each project milestone and maintain the documentation trail that protects payment.

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

Build a project schedule of values tied to contract line items and generate progress invoices based on percentage complete per line — creating AIA-format billing applications that GCs and owners recognize and process.

Change Order Billing Management

Track every approved change order separately from the base contract with its own billing schedule — ensuring change order work is billed at approved amounts without mixing into base contract billing.

Retainage Tracking & Release

Calculate and track retainage withheld per billing period, monitor cumulative retainage balance, and manage retainage release requests at substantial completion — keeping your cash position visible.

Lien Waiver Documentation

Generate conditional and unconditional lien waivers corresponding to each payment received — with digital execution and storage that keeps your lien documentation organized for every project.

The Glide Sprint Process

How we build your Construction Invoicing app

Data structure, security model, integration map, and user roles. The blueprint that prevents rework.

Build

Iterative development with weekly demos. You see progress, not just status updates.

QA & Launch

Cross-device testing, user acceptance, and production deployment with rollback safety.

Support

Ongoing maintenance, feature iterations, and scaling support. We don't disappear after launch.

Frequently asked questions about Construction Invoicing apps

Does the app support AIA G702/G703 billing application format?+

Yes. We build the schedule of values and continuation sheet structure that mirrors the AIA billing application format — making it easy for your clients and their owners to process payment applications.

How do we track stored materials billed before installation?+

We build stored material billing fields into the progress billing form so materials delivered to the job site but not yet installed are tracked separately and billed appropriately with supporting documentation.

Can we track a project's overall billed versus contracted amount in real time?+

Yes. The project billing dashboard shows total contract value, total billed to date, current billing period amount, retainage held, and net amount earned — giving PMs and owners real-time financial progress visibility.

How do we manage pay-if-paid provisions and subcontractor billing?+

We build subcontractor billing tracking alongside your GC billing so you can see which sub applications are pending, approved, or paid — with pay-if-paid flags identifying which sub payments are contingent on owner payment.

Can the app generate a cash flow projection based on the billing schedule?+

Yes. We build a project cash flow projection that combines your billing schedule, payment terms, and historical collection times to forecast when billed amounts will actually convert to received cash.
