"The easiest tool I've ever used."
It is very very easy, as soon as you get a receipt you can scan it, the AI will capture all relevant information and it is very little interaction to get to the final submission of the expense. It is so easy!!!

Following business trips or even a few weeks in the office, the last thing that someone wants to do is take time out of their day to sort through receipts. It makes my process much easier.

Frequently asked questions
Have a different question and can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our support team by sending us an email and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
Can I use this for a custom home build?
- Yes. It's designed for new construction. You can customize the 'Systems' and 'Interior Finishes' sections to match the specific specs of your custom home design.
How detailed should my estimates be?
- The more detailed, the better. Instead of one line for 'Plumbing', break it down into 'Rough-in', 'Fixtures', and 'Final Trim' to track costs more accurately.
Can I track bank draws with this template?
- Yes. Create a column for 'Draw Request' or simply tag expenses that have been submitted to the bank. This ensures your loan balance matches your actual spending.
Does it include landscaping costs?
- Yes. We include an 'Exterior' category for driveways, siding, and landscaping. You can expand this section if your project involves extensive hardscaping or pools.
How do I manage finish selections?
- Use the 'Notes' column or add a separate tab in Excel to list specific product selections (SKUs, colors) alongside their budget line items.
Is this compatible with bank requirements?
- Most banks require a standard cost breakdown. This template uses standard construction categories (Division codes style) that lenders are familiar with, making the draw process smoother.
