Construction companies operate across dozens of projects, multiple entities, and dual GC/Sub roles simultaneously. Your true cash position is a dynamic calculation that spreadsheets and generic accounting tools simply cannot keep up with.
Cash positions assembled from spreadsheets, Sage reports, and bank statements are already two weeks old by the time they reach the CFO's desk.
Millions in retainage sit trapped across projects — held as a GC, owed as a Sub — but no tool shows you the net impact on your actual cash position.
Multi-entity contractors run separate books for each entity. Consolidating across three, five, or ten entities for a true portfolio view is a monthly ordeal.
You know where cash is today (sort of), but forecasting when retainage releases, pay apps land, and subcontractor obligations come due? Pure guesswork.
Not bank balance monitoring. Metaprise Cash Management understands the construction-specific variables that determine your real cash position — retainage, dual roles, project milestones, and multi-entity structures.
When you're simultaneously holding $4M in retainage as a GC and waiting on $2.5M owed to you as a Sub, your net cash position isn't what your bank balance says. Metaprise calculates the real number — across every project, every role, in real time.
See exactly how much cash is tied up in each role — retainage held as GC, retainage owed as Sub, AR outstanding, AP committed — all in one view.
Click into any project to see its individual contribution to your overall position — cash in, cash out, retainage balance, and net contribution.
Track how your net position evolves over time. Spot patterns — is retainage piling up? Are collections slowing? Is one entity dragging?
Metaprise forecasts cash flows using real project data — billing schedules, payment history, retainage release timelines, and contractual milestones. Not accounting estimates, actual execution data from across your platform.
Each project's expected inflows and outflows modeled independently, then rolled up to the portfolio level. See which projects are cash generators vs. cash consumers.
Predict when retainage becomes available based on project timelines, milestone conditions, and historical release patterns. Plan around real dates, not hopes.
Alerts triggered when projected cash dips below configurable thresholds. Know about cash gaps weeks before they become crises.
What if a major retainage release is delayed 30 days? What if two large pay apps land in the same week? Model scenarios and stress-test your cash position.
| Month | Inflows | Outflows | Net |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 2025 | $3.2M | −$1.9M | +$1.3M |
| Mar 2025 | $2.8M | −$2.3M | +$500K |
| Apr 2025 | $4.1M | −$1.8M | +$2.3M |
Multi-entity contractors shouldn't need a week-long close process to see their consolidated cash position. Metaprise rolls up every entity's cash, AR, AP, and retainage into a single live view — with drill-down to any level.
All entities consolidated in real-time — no manual roll-up, no pivot tables, no waiting for month-end. Intercompany eliminations handled automatically.
Toggle between consolidated and entity-level views instantly. See which entities are cash positive, which are drawing down, and where intercompany flows are happening.
Identify opportunities to redeploy excess cash from one entity to fund obligations at another — before resorting to credit lines.

Construction companies routinely have millions in working capital trapped in slow collections, excessive retainage, and inefficient payment timing. Metaprise surfaces these opportunities and quantifies the impact of acting on them.
Identify retainage that's eligible for release but hasn't been collected. Quantify the cash impact and trigger the release workflow directly.
Track Days Sales Outstanding and Days Payable Outstanding by project, entity, and customer. Benchmark against your targets and industry averages.
Better visibility and timing reduces reliance on revolving credit. See exactly when you'll need external capital — and what internal moves can eliminate the need.
