- QuickBooks Online two-way sync
Draws That Don't Get Delayed
Construction draw requests get rejected for predictable reasons: missing lien waivers, incomplete inspection reports, percent-complete numbers that don't match the schedule of values, or math errors on the Application for Payment. Each rejection means a week of delay, a week of interest carry, and a week of subs asking when they're getting paid.
BuilderMate construction draw management reduces these errors by generating the draw packet from the same data driving your home builder CRM: schedule of values from the estimate, percent complete from the project record, lien waivers from the subcontractor portal, photos from the project gallery, and QuickBooks sync for the lender's accounting reconciliation. Builders adopting this workflow generally see fewer rejections and faster draw approval, though actual impact depends on the lender, project complexity, and current baseline.
