Project payment, connected from milestone to payment.
Manage the movement of project money through a clearer workflow — connecting milestones, approved progress, verified obligations and payment pathways across the construction project.
A milestone shows when money moves. The workflow shows what it is meant to support.
Construction payment stages determine when money enters a project, but they do not necessarily provide a complete connection between the money, approved work, participants, outstanding obligations and the project's financial position.
Traditional model

Payment
Approved payments follow the defined pathway.
See the project payment workflow at a glance.
Connect funding, progress, approved obligations and payment status in one project view.
Illustrative example. Project health reflects information recorded on the project and is not a guarantee, certification or solvency assessment.
The same connected workflow creates clearer outcomes across the project.
Homeowners
Greater visibility and confidence around project payment status.
Builders
Greater payment discipline without removing control over project delivery.
Contractors
A clearer pathway from approved work to payment.
Suppliers
Better visibility around approved obligations and payment pathways.
Every claim holds a visible position in the workflow.
Claim status remains visible to entitled parties according to role and permissions, from submission through to payment.
