Upload the schedule CSV you already use. BuildDue handles the column matching.
BuildDue automatically recognizes common construction billing headers, previews every row, explains why uncertain data is blocked, and saves approved mappings for future billing periods.
Progress billing software without a full accounting migration
BuildDue is designed for teams that already have accounting software but still manage construction billing through scattered spreadsheets, PDFs, email, and calendar reminders. It works beside the current system so the first useful project can be created immediately.
The software keeps each billing period connected to the project’s contract value, schedule of values, approved changes, retainage, documents, submission dates, payment status, and follow-up activity.
Automatic CSV column matchingBring your current export. BuildDue matches synonyms, shows confidence, and never silently guesses required fields.
Monthly roll-forwardCarry prior work and retainage into a clean next-period draft.
Clear blocking reasonsIdentify the exact row, value, or mapping that must be corrected, with safe exclusion and downloadable diagnostics.

Common questions
Construction pay application software FAQ
What is construction pay application software?
It organizes periodic progress billing by project, including the schedule of values, work completed, stored materials, retainage, contract changes, required backup, approval status, and payment follow-up.
Does BuildDue require accounting software integration?
No. Upload your existing CSV or enter lines directly. BuildDue automatically matches common construction billing columns and can work beside current accounting and project-management systems.
Do I have to use a BuildDue CSV template?
No. BuildDue is designed to accept an existing CSV, propose column matches, preview the data, and explain any blocking issue before import. An optional sample file is available only for teams starting from scratch.
Can each billing period roll forward?
Yes. Prior completed work and retainage carry into the next period while current work, stored materials, payments, attachments, and submission dates reset.
Does BuildDue create official third-party forms?
No. BuildDue produces original BuildDue-branded progress billing summaries and schedule-of-values details. It does not reproduce or certify official third-party contract forms.
