for the builders ahead of the curve

Fund it, build it, book it —
on one set of numbers.

Agents read what arrives, check it against the books, and hand you the entry to approve.

One record for the deal, the build and the books.

Investment management, construction and accounting in one place, not three. One set of numbers, whoever is asking — the sponsor, the team on site, or the people who funded it.

For developers running several projects, several entities and one set of books.

Someone whose money it is reads it.

A draw package is the only thing this product makes that is checked by a party outside the company. Everything upstream of that — the cost code, the commitment, the waiver, the change order — exists so that the check has something to land on.

fig. 01the round trip — a draw package goes out with its continuation sheet printed from the budget; a lender agrees twenty lines, queries two, and returns one of them against cost code 03 40 00, where completed to date runs over the scheduled value because the change order revising it has not been suppliedout, in inkback, in the accent

It comes back against a line.

A query names a cost code and a period. That is already a line in the budget, with its commitment, its change orders and the documents behind it attached. Answer it there and the next package carries the answer.

The change order was executed in period 06 and is on the line. What the package sent was the schedule of values before it.

Nothing posts on its own.

Every entry comes back for you to approve. Answers are computed against the books as they stand, not a copy.

Approvers are set for the company and for each project. Nothing automated runs until it is switched on.

The tie-out between QuickBooks, AppFolio and Cellect is stored and checked, and every finding is dated.
