The "Invoice Overload" Problem
Subcontractor invoices for plumbing and electrical work arrive disorganized via emails, texts, and site photos of crumpled receipts, complicating tracking of labor hours and permit fees
Field crews in kitchen remodels lose 2-3 hours daily cross-referencing material costs like tile or cabinetry against faded handwritten notes, stalling approvals during high-demand spring renovation peaks
Delayed payments to lumber yards or roofing suppliers for shingle deliveries erode trust, causing 1-2 week holdups on urgent home exterior projects
Hand-entry mistakes in QuickBooks for HVAC or flooring bids result in 5-10% overpayments on fixtures and underlayment, squeezing already tight 10-15% profit margins on residential jobs
Month-end accounting for bathroom renovations and deck builds extends 3-5 days, as owners manually match scattered invoices from demo, framing, and finishing phases across 5-10 active sites
Client billing disputes rise 20% on custom home additions when invoices mismatch on-site change orders for window upgrades or custom trim work

What Clients Say
"Prior to AIQ Labs, month-end meant digging through piles of electrician and plumber invoices for our residential wiring jobs. Now, we snap photos of receipts on-site with the app, pulling data automatically, and handle approvals en route to the next fixture install. It's saved our crew 15 hours weekly and flagged a $2,000 duplicate on copper piping last quarter alone."
Mike Reynolds
Operations Manager, Apex Home Builders LLC (Specializing in electrical and plumbing for single-family homes)
"Subcontractor billing for our kitchen remodels was chaos—scattered emails and endless chases for framers' hours. The custom AI now organizes everything, cross-matches to digital change orders for cabinet installs, and syncs seamlessly with Xero accounting. We've dropped processing from 10 days to just 2, stabilizing cash flow for back-to-back granite countertop projects."
Sarah Chen
Owner, Precision Remodels Inc. (Focused on high-end kitchen and bath renovations)
"Managing invoices across 8 simultaneous roofing jobs as a GC was disastrous—late payments nearly derailed shingle supplies mid-season. This AI automates intake from vendor portals, instantly flags mismatches in labor codes, and we've halved errors while cutting admin time by 40%. It's equivalent to hiring a full-time bookkeeper for our exterior home projects without the overhead."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this handle invoices from multiple subcontractors on a single job site?
Our custom AI is designed specifically for the multi-vendor chaos of general contracting. It ingests invoices from various sources—emails, portals, even mobile uploads—and uses intelligent matching to link them to the right project phase, like foundation work or interior finishes. For instance, if your electrician and plumber submit overlapping bills, the system cross-references against your master schedule and flags duplicates automatically. We've tuned it for home services realities, reducing manual reviews by 65% in deployments. Setup involves mapping your typical workflows, ensuring it adapts to your crew's habits without rigid templates. This means faster approvals and fewer disputes, keeping your timelines intact.
Can it integrate with my existing field management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations that go beyond surface-level connections. For tools like Buildertrend or CoConstruct, our system pulls job details in real-time to validate invoice data against actual hours logged or materials delivered. No more copy-pasting between apps. In one case, a contractor we worked with synced their AP directly to field updates, cutting payment delays from 7 days to under 24 hours. We handle the custom coding to make it seamless, ensuring data flows bidirectionally so your dashboards reflect the latest from the site. This unified setup eliminates silos, a common headache in home services where jobs span weeks.
What about security for sensitive invoice data in construction?
Security is paramount, especially with the financial details in your bids and payments. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and compliance in mind, adhering to standards like SOC 2 and construction-specific regs for lien protections. Data is stored in your owned system, not scattered across cloud vendors. Access controls let you limit views—say, site leads see only approvals, while office staff handle full audits. We've incorporated role-based permissions that mirror your org chart, preventing unauthorized peeks at supplier pricing. Clients report zero breaches in our systems, and we include regular audits to keep it ironclad as your business scales.
How long does it take to see results after implementation?
Most contractors notice quick wins within the first week of go-live. We prioritize low-disruption rollout: initial setup takes 4-6 weeks, including discovery and testing on a pilot project like a small remodel. Once launched, AI handles 80% of routine tasks immediately, like data extraction, freeing your team for high-value work. Full ROI hits in 2-3 months, with benchmarks showing 50% time savings on AP. For example, a firm processing 200 invoices monthly went from 40 admin hours to 12. We provide hands-on training and monitor the first cycles to ensure smooth adoption, tailored to your busy seasons.
Is this scalable if my contracting business grows?
Yes, our solutions are engineered for growth, unlike rigid off-the-shelf tools that buckle under volume. Built on scalable frameworks, it handles increased invoice loads—from 50 monthly for a small crew to thousands during peak home flip seasons—without performance lags. We design with modularity, so as you add services like landscaping or additions, the system expands via simple config changes. One client scaled from 20 to 80 jobs yearly, and their AP processing sped up 40% thanks to predictive features. Ownership means you control the upgrades, avoiding costly vendor pivots as your revenue climbs past $5M.
What if our invoices include handwritten notes from the field?
Handwritten chaos is a staple in home services—we've got it covered. Our AI uses advanced OCR trained on construction lingo, like 'add'l wiring for kitchen reno,' to extract and categorize accurately. It even interprets sketches or annotations, matching them to digital job files. In testing with real-world samples, accuracy hits 95%, far above generic tools. If ambiguities arise, it routes for quick human review via mobile. This feature has saved contractors hours on deciphering site notes, ensuring nothing slips through on critical projects like bathroom overhauls.
