Built by a GC, for GCs

You scaled.
You lost the thread.

There's a moment in every GC's growth where you stop knowing what you owe. Invoice volume tripled. Compliance docs scattered across email. Lien waivers in a folder somewhere. CommandAP is the AP command center that puts the thread back in your hands: invoice in, paperwork verified, waiver signed, ACH out, audit file built. One system, and it does the chasing for you.

Onboards a sub · no login for them

One system. The workflows your admin shouldn't run by hand.

CommandAP replaces the spreadsheets, email folders, DocuSign workarounds, and bank-portal bill pay your shop is duct-taping together right now.

01 · Compliance

The compliance wall, demolished.

Before you can pay a sub, you need their paperwork. CommandAP sends every sub a single link: business details, W-9, COIs, your subcontractor agreement, and their bank for ACH, done in one sitting. Stored with the vendor, watched for expiration. Payment is gated on compliance status, automatically.

  • One link replaces weeks of chasing W-9s and COIs across texts and emails.
  • COIs are read by AI (carrier, limits, and expiration per coverage) and flagged before they lapse.
  • Missing or expiring docs get requested and re-requested automatically. You only hear about the ones that ignore it.
  • Pay-ready gate: if a sub's paperwork is missing or expired, CommandAP flags it before you cut the check.
  • Tax season becomes a non-event. Every W-9 already on file.

02 · Invoices

Invoices in. Pay-ready out.

You get a dedicated CommandAP inbox: {yourshop}@commandap.co. Forward invoices to it from any email provider. CommandAP reads the PDF, the phone photo, or the plain email from Joist, Jobber, or Square, and pulls vendor, amount, invoice number, due date, and job code. Routes to the right job. Checks compliance status. You see what's pay-ready and what's not, at a glance.

  • Works with any email provider: Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo. Forward and you're done. No OAuth, no inbox permissions.
  • Reads 3-line contractor invoices and 20-line supplier statements alike.
  • Catches duplicate invoices and duplicate vendors before they hit your books.
  • Knows an estimate from an invoice. Quotes and bids never land in your payables.
  • Invoice emailed with no attachment? CommandAP replies and asks the sub for the PDF.
  • Deposits and partial payments tracked against the balance. No hand math.
  • Compliance status gates payment automatically.

03 · Lien Waivers

Generate, send, track.

Conditional and unconditional. Progress and final. Tied to the payment, not a spreadsheet. Native signing, no per-doc DocuSign fees. Statutory forms where your state has one, pre-filled from invoice data.

  • Statutory waiver forms for Utah, Texas, California, and Florida. An industry-standard form everywhere else.
  • Checked line by line against the statute text, with an automated check that fails the build if a form ever drifts.
  • Pre-filled from invoice data. No retyping.
  • Tracked alongside the payment, not in a separate folder.
  • Unsigned waivers get reminded automatically. A signed final clears the earlier partials it covers.
  • No signed waiver, no payment, unless you record why you skipped it.
  • Waiver bundle and waiver register per job for owner and bank submissions (Pro).

04 · Payments

Click pay. ACH goes out.

Connect your bank once. When an invoice is approved, the sub is compliant, and the waiver is signed, you pay it from the invoice screen: ACH from your account straight to theirs. No checks, no bank portal, no retyping amounts.

  • Money moves bank to bank through Stripe. CommandAP never holds your funds.
  • The pay button stays locked until compliance and the lien waiver clear.
  • The invoice marks itself paid when the ACH settles. The sub gets a receipt.
  • Failed or returned payments surface immediately. Nothing fails quietly.
  • Still cutting a check? Record it in two clicks. Same gates, same audit trail.

05 · Sub Agreements

Master agreement and work orders, signed in the same link.

Your Master Subcontractor Agreement goes out with onboarding and comes back e-signed. Work orders per job ride on top of it. Native signing, your branding, stored with the vendor, and CommandAP tells you which subs you're paying without one.

  • MSA + per-job work orders, e-signed without a DocuSign seat.
  • Subs must complete business name, address, and license before they can sign.
  • Unsigned agreements get chased automatically.
  • Flags any sub with open invoices and no agreement on file.

It does the chasing. You make the calls.

Every night CommandAP audits your payables and acts on what it finds: reminders sent, documents requested, stale waivers cleaned up. What's left is a short list that actually needs an owner's decision, each with a one-tap fix.

  • Same invoice billed twice. Same vendor entered twice.
  • A sub billing past their bid. A final payment that doesn't reconcile to the contract.
  • COIs about to lapse on subs with open invoices.
  • Approved invoices going past due.

From the email your sub gets to the signed waiver in your file.

CommandAP runs the whole loop. Your sub never logs in, never creates an account. They click a link, upload docs, sign agreements and waivers, connect a bank, and get paid. You get notified when each step completes. Their paperwork lands in your dashboard: indexed, attached to invoices, watched for expiration.

Step 01
Compliance Request
Your sub gets this email.

One click from CommandAP. Sent under your company name with a token-gated upload link. No template to write, no follow-up to remember.

Built by a GC, for GCs.

I run Citizen Builders. I built CommandAP because my admin was spending 10 to 15 hours a week chasing paperwork that should have been a system.

Every workflow in this product came out of a real job. Every screen was built to fix something I was tired of doing. If you've ever had a payment held up because nobody could find a COI, this is for you.

CommandAP isn't a VC-backed startup pretending to understand construction. It's software built inside an actual GC shop, for the exact problems I deal with every week. Every feature exists because I needed it, and used it Monday morning.

Free for GCs. Not a trial.

The whole AP loop (compliance, invoices, agreements, lien waivers, payments) is free. Unlimited jobs, unlimited users, no card. Pro adds one-click export packages for owners, banks, and auditors.

Optional
Pro

For shops that hand paperwork to owners, banks, and auditors.

Nothing in the core loop is held back
Everything in Free, plus
  • ✓ Compliance export: every W-9 and COI as one ZIP, per vendor, per job, or company-wide
  • ✓ Audit report PDFs: per vendor, per job, or company-wide
  • ✓ Lien waiver bundle per job: every signed waiver in one download
  • ✓ Waiver register PDF per job for owner and bank draws

How is it free? CommandAP earns a flat per-payment processing fee on ACH payments sent through the platform, disclosed in the Terms of Service. No subscription is required to run your payables. Payments you make outside CommandAP (check, wire, your own bank) carry no fee.

Give your admin their week back.

10 to 15 hours back. Compliance handled. Invoices parsed. Waivers signed. Subs paid by ACH. One system, free for general contractors.
