Give each homeowner one link for the whole project
Every project gets a private portal. The homeowner opens it without an account to see today's update with photos, the schedule, payments, invoices, documents and your message thread.
When you need a decision, the portal asks for it. The homeowner accepts the estimate, approves a change order or chooses a selection by typing their name.

Price every change before your crew builds it
Once the homeowner accepts the estimate, scope and price change only through change orders. Each one carries a price and the working days it adds, and the homeowner approves it in the portal.
Only approved change orders change the contract, budget and schedule, and only approved ones go on an invoice.
Many overruns start mid-project. Of homeowners over budget in the 2026 Houzz & Home Study, 35% upgraded materials and 31% changed the scope during construction (Stacker, read 2026-10-21).

Check each deposit and draw before you send it
Set a deposit, progress draws tied to phases and a final payment. Plankbook checks the deposit against your state's cap, such as $1,000 or 10% of the contract in California, whichever is less.
Before an invoice goes out, Plankbook compares your billing with the value of the work done. Billing ahead needs a written reason, and the reason stays on the invoice.
Houzz's 2026 business finance report found that 76% of builders and remodelers hit a cash-flow gap at least occasionally (Houzz Pro, read 2026-10-21). Draws tied to phases go out as each phase finishes.
- Record which lien waiver you gave with each payment.
- Invoice approved change orders, and bill time and materials work with your markup.
- Work in euros if your company is in Finland. The state deposit checks apply to US companies only.

California limits the down payment to $1,000 or 10% of the contract, whichever is less. This deposit is $1,000. Business and Professions Code 7159(d)(8)(C).
Know your margin while the job is still running
Post supplier bills, subcontractor invoices, permits and crew time to cost codes. Crew time counts at each person's labor cost.
Plankbook sets actual cost against the estimate budget for every cost code, with planned and projected margin side by side.
