Construction billing is fundamentally different — progress-based pay applications, retainage withholding on every invoice, change order impacts, dual-role AR and AP on the same project. Generic tools don't understand any of this.
AIA G702/G703 forms still generated in Excel, printed, signed, scanned, and emailed. Every billing cycle is a 2-week manual process.
Generic AP tools can't match invoices against contracts, change orders, and completion percentages. Every invoice requires manual review.
Receivables and payables live in separate systems. Dual-role companies can't see the relationship between what they bill upstream and what they owe downstream.
Generic tools treat retainage as a line item, not as a first-class financial entity that needs to be tracked, withheld, and conditionally released.
Every feature understands construction-specific data models — progress billing, retainage withholding, change order impacts, project-based cost codes, and the dual-role relationship between what you bill and what you owe.
Generate, submit, and track pay applications in the industry-standard AIA format — with automated percentage-of-completion calculations, scheduled value breakdowns, and retainage tracking built into every line item.
Generate G702 cover sheets and G703 continuation sheets from project data. No more Excel templates or manual math.
Track work completed, stored materials, and retainage per cost code. Syncs with Procore's percent complete data when available.
Approved change orders automatically added to the schedule of values. Pending COs tracked separately until approved.
Submit pay apps digitally with e-signatures. Track review status, revision requests, and payment timeline in real-time.

Generic AP tools match invoices against POs. Construction doesn't work that way. Metaprise matches invoices against contracts, change orders, completion percentages, and delivery confirmations — flagging anomalies that generic tools can't detect.
Validates every line item against the original contract and approved change orders. Flags overbilling, out-of-scope charges, and cost code mismatches.
Learns your billing patterns across projects. Catches duplicate invoices, inflated quantities, unapproved rate changes, and front-loading patterns.
Cross-references billed amounts against Procore percent-complete data. Alerts when billing exceeds actual work installed.
Unmatched or flagged invoices routed to a prioritized exception queue with AI-generated resolution recommendations.
When you're a GC on some projects and a Sub on others, your AR and AP are deeply interconnected. Metaprise is the only platform that shows both sides — so you can see the cash flow impact of every billing decision across your entire portfolio.
AI-optimized payment scheduling that considers your cash position, early-pay discount opportunities, contractual terms, and retainage obligations — across every project simultaneously.
Payment dates optimized against projected cash inflows. Never pay before you need to, never miss an obligation.
Automatically identifies discount opportunities (2/10 net 30) and prioritizes when cash allows. Tracks annualized savings.
Conditional and unconditional lien waivers generated and collected automatically as part of the payment workflow.
Every payment generates journal entries that sync to Sage automatically. No double entry, no reconciliation lag.
Pay apps and contract data flow in from Procore. Matched, approved invoices and journal entries sync back to Sage. The AR/AP engine sits in between — controlling the financial workflow that neither system can handle alone.
"Procore tells you what's billed. Metaprise matches, validates, and pays. Sage records the result."
Generic tools process invoices. Metaprise understands the construction financial model behind them.
