Contractors
Contracting is a cash-timing business wrapped in paperwork. We help general contractors, subcontractors, and trade businesses plan cash, handle documents, win work, and keep their systems running.
Contractors can be profitable on paper and still short on cash. Payroll is weekly, materials are paid up front, owners pay on draw schedules, and retainage is held back until the end of the job. A single slow payer or an unapproved change order can create a cash gap even when the backlog looks healthy.
PursuitBid helps contractors see that gap coming. A thirteen-week cash outlook built from open receivables, payables, payroll, and explicit collection timing shows the weeks that could get tight. Scenarios test what happens if a draw slips, a big job starts early, or a new crew is hired, while the adopted budget stays intact as the benchmark.
Paperwork is the other constant. Pay applications, conditional and unconditional lien waivers, certificates of insurance, submittals, and change orders all have to be prepared, tracked, and sent on time. IVOKER can find the invoices, draft the waivers, and prepare the email, and the project manager approves the send. Focused AI automation can take on recurring intake and data entry.
We also build the websites that bring in local work, the networks that connect offices, yards, and job trailers, and the security and recovery plans that keep a business running when a laptop is lost or an account is compromised.
What makes contractors different
Cash gaps between draws
Payroll and materials are paid before owners pay, and retainage is held to the end, so cash can run short even on profitable jobs.
Paperwork deadlines
Pay applications, lien waivers, insurance certificates, and change orders all carry deadlines tied to getting paid.
Change order discipline
Work performed before a change order is approved is a common source of disputes and lost margin.
Field and office connection
Crews, yards, trailers, and the office need reliable access to plans and documents, often from temporary or remote sites.
Winning local work
Owners and general contractors check websites, reviews, and project photos before they call.
