Cost codes, hard and soft, updated as each document lands

The monthly draw

Every draw gets rebuilt by hand, one invoice at a time.

Each month someone pulls the invoices, matches every amount to its cost line, chases the missing lien waivers, and rebuilds the budget for the lender. Every new project adds another stack, so growing has meant hiring.

Yardstone does that bookkeeping as documents arrive. The draw is ready when you are.

How it works

Assembled for you, reviewed by you.

01

Bring it together

Bring in your budget, contracts, invoices, and vendor docs, straight from Dropbox or Google Drive. No spreadsheets to rebuild.

02

Yardstone assembles it

It reads each invoice, contract, and change order as it lands and codes every amount to its cost line. When a document is unclear, it asks instead of guessing. Automatic checks for anything that doesn't tie out are on the way.

03

Approve, and it goes out

The draw package and partner updates are ready to send, and every number traces back to its source document.

Every change, recorded the moment it happens.

A living record of what moved, when, and by whom. So when anyone asks for an update, you don't assemble the answer. You open it.

What's inside

One workspace for the whole development.

Keep your accounting software

Yardstone does the project bookkeeping alongside it, with two-way QuickBooks sync so nothing is entered twice. No accounting integration? It works on its own too.

Review, not prep

Yardstone does the data entry and assembles the numbers, and asks when a document is unclear. Your team just reviews.

An always-current budget

Numbers update as documents land, so the budget is right whenever you check.

Compliance, handled

Track COIs and lien waivers, and flag what's about to expire.

In their words

“Assembling a draw is a pain. When we're reviewing in real time instead of compiling and chasing paperwork, we finally get our time back—and can put it into work that actually makes us money.” Stephen (CPA), VP, Avenue Development
