Progress billing is a spreadsheet nobody trusts
Every phase is a line with its own amount and its own trigger. Bill it when it's signed off, not when someone remembers.
A build isn't one invoice, it's fourteen. Foundation, framing, roof, rough-in, finish — each one due at a different moment. QuixChex holds the whole draw schedule and bills each phase when it's actually done.
Why construction is different
Every phase is a line with its own amount and its own trigger. Bill it when it's signed off, not when someone remembers.
Take a deposit up front and hold the balance against completion, on the same job record as the work itself.
Add the line, price it, get it approved and bill it — without rebuilding the schedule from scratch.

How a job runs
The job is set up as phases with amounts against them. Your super marks framing complete from site with photos attached; that phase bills. The client can see what's been done and what they've paid without ringing the office for a statement.
QuixChex reads card activity straight off Winston POS, settles through iStream and Global Payments, and is backed by Port City Processing LLC. Whatever you already run on the counter and in the back office keeps running — QuixChex fits around it.
FAQ
Yes. Split any phase into a deposit and a balance, or into as many draws as the contract calls for. Each one bills on its own trigger.
Add them as new line items on the same job. They price, approve and bill alongside the original schedule instead of becoming a separate invoice nobody can reconcile later.
Yes. Assign people to a job, capture their hours from real clock-ins, and see who's on site on the map while they're on the clock.
