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

Send branded invoices to homeowners. Track payments and outstanding balances.

Builders who switched, stayed.

Real feedback from real home builders.

I cut my monthly bookkeeping time from 2 days to about 3 hours. The budget alerts alone saved me $18k on my last project.

My accountant loves me now. I just export the CSV and she handles everything. No more shoebox of receipts at year end.

The draw request feature is a game changer. What used to take an afternoon now takes 15 minutes.
