Why Contractors Choose Evolvv

Contractors need precise tracking. This template allows you to itemize materials and labor, manage retainage, and include specific waiver of lien language required by state laws.

Progress Billing (AIA Style)

Manage long-term projects by issuing partial invoices against a total Estimate, tracking previously billed amounts.

Lien Waiver Integration

Include standard conditional or unconditional mechanics lien waiver language directly in your terms.

Estimate to Invoice

Convert approved Estimates into final invoices with a single click once work is completed.

Retainage Tracking

Handle 5% or 10% Retainage easily by adding a negative line item to withhold funds until project completion.

Permit & Reference Tracking

Add dedicated fields for Building Permit Numbers and PO Numbers for municipal and corporate compliance.
