The money side of contracting is broken

You finished the job weeks ago. The application for payment is overdue. Retentions from three projects back still haven't been released. CIS deductions don't add up. And nobody's chasing any of it because everyone's already on the next site.

01

Applications sit in spreadsheets

Monthly valuations compiled manually, submitted late, assessed slowly. Every delay costs you weeks of cash flow.

02

Nobody's chasing the invoices

Your QS is on site. Your office manager has 40 other things. Late payments slip through until they become disputes.

03

Retentions vanish into the void

5% held back on every contract. Practical completion passes. Defects period ends. But nobody tracks the release dates.

04

Cash flow surprises kill companies

A major client pays 30 days late. Materials are due next week. You find out too late. This is how solvent contractors go under.

What SiteLedger Does

An employee that runs the money, not a tool you learn

APPLICATIONS

Generates payment applications from contract terms

Reads your JCT or NEC contract terms, tracks measured work and variations, and compiles compliant applications for payment on schedule. No spreadsheet templates. No missed deadlines.

COLLECTION

Chases late payments with escalating pressure

Polite reminder at 7 days. Firm follow-up at 14. Statutory demand reference at 30. Each step automated, each one traceable. You never have to write the awkward email.

RETENTIONS

Tracks every retention across every project

Knows when practical completion hits. Knows when the defects period ends. Sends the release notice on the exact day you're entitled. Across 5 projects or 50.

CASH FLOW

Forecasts cash gaps before they become crises

Maps incoming payments against outgoing commitments. Flags shortfalls weeks in advance. Shows you exactly when to accelerate a chase or delay a purchase order.

Your crew handles the craft. SiteLedger handles the cash.

Built for mechanical insulation, cladding, fire protection, and every specialist trade that deserves to get paid on time.
