The Solution

Built for how architects actually bill.

Ledger speaks AIA natively. G702, G703, retainage splits, phased milestones, consultant pass-throughs — not bolted on, but built in from day one. So the 87-day average becomes your competitor's problem, not yours.

Pain Point #1

Retainer disputes that derail projects

Client withholds 10% retainage past substantial completion. You have no paper trail, no automated release trigger, no leverage.

Ledger Fix

Smart retainage tracking auto-calculates release dates from your contract terms. One-click G702 amendment triggers the release request.

Pain Point #2

Missed draw deadlines cost a full cycle

Miss the owner's monthly draw window by one day and you wait another 30. That's $47,500 sitting idle for 60 days instead of 30.

Approval DeadlineFeb 10

✓ Ledger sends draw reminders 5 days before every window closes

Pain Point #3

Consultant won't release drawings until paid

Your structural engineer is holding the stamped set. Your client is waiting. You're caught in the middle with no payment flow visibility.

Client Story
"
Before Ledger, I was financing my clients for 90 days and calling it business. Now I see a deposit before the next billing cycle opens. It's not a small thing — it's the difference between hiring or not.
