Sound familiar?

Most construction accounting tools were built for accountants, not builders in the field.

Receipts stuffed in a drawer

By the time you reconcile, you've missed deductions and can't explain the overrun.

No visibility until it's too late

You find out a project is over budget when the bank calls — not when you can still fix it.

Year-end tax chaos

Hunting down W-9s and sorting out 1099s in January costs you days you don't have.

Everything a builder needs

From the first receipt to the final draw — NeatBuild covers the whole job.

Receipt Capture

Snap or email receipts. OCR extracts vendor, amount, and category automatically.

Budget vs Actual

Real-time spend vs budget for every project. Catch overruns before they spiral.

Draw Requests

Generate bank draw packages with line-item backup in one click.

1099 & Vendor Docs

Collect W-9s automatically. Export 1099-ready data at year end.

P&L Reports

QuickBooks-compatible export. See profit per project, not just totals.

Client Billing & Online Payments

Send branded invoices with a pay link — clients pay by card or bank transfer, and the books update themselves.

Up and running in an afternoon

No training sessions. No consultants. Just log in and start.

01

Bring your books over

Import your QuickBooks vendors, customers, and open bills in about 10 minutes — then set up each job with a budget and team.

Secure payment · Bank transfer or card

Built on a real builder's books.

NeatBuild was shaped job-by-job alongside a working custom-home builder — every feature exists because a real build needed it.

The overrun shows up while you can still fix it

Every receipt and bill posts to the job the moment it's captured. Budget alerts fire at the threshold you set — not at month-end reconciliation.

Draw day stops being a scanning marathon

One click compiles receipts, invoices, payment proofs and signed lien waivers into a numbered package your lender can actually review.

Year-end is an export, not an excavation

W-9s collected as vendors onboard, 1099 totals ready, and a general ledger your accountant can take straight into their workflow.

Early access — founding builders lock in their rate and get a direct line to the team building the product.

Pay for the homes you're building

Per active project. Archive a finished job and it stops counting. Every feature included — no tiers, no upgrades.
