Back-office automation for construction

The work is done. Getting paid shouldn't take a back office.

Octal builds AI that does the paperwork standing between finished work and money in the bank — pay applications, lien waivers, insurance certificates, and AP.

The monthly grind

Construction runs on paperwork that resets every month.

Every project, every month — a full pay application packet in each GC's own format, lien waivers collected up and down the chain, insurance certs chased and checked, every invoice coded to the right job by hand.

Pay applications
Every GC, every month.
Each in their own format.
Lien waivers
Up the chain, down the chain.
Conditional, unconditional.
Insurance certificates
COIs collected and checked.
Expirations track silently.
AP & job costing
Invoices coded by hand.
To the right job, every time.

All of it standing between finished work and getting paid — in an industry that already waits ~0 days for its money.

What we're building

A back office that does the work — not software you type into.

Your books stay where they are. Octal sits alongside QuickBooks, Sage, Foundation, or Procore and does the clerical work itself — the same way a sharp billing admin would, just never behind.

Pay applications
Assembles the monthly billing packet in each GC's required format and sends it on time.
Lien waivers
Tracks every waiver owed and owing, and chases the missing signatures.
Insurance certificates
Collects COIs, checks them against contract requirements, and flags expirations before they block a payment.
AP
Reads invoices, codes them to the right job, routes approvals, syncs to your books.
How we work
1
It does the task, end to end

Octal executes, it's not another dashboard to feed.

2
Your team keeps the judgment

Nothing goes to a GC or posts to your books without review.

Built shoulder to shoulder

We're early, and we're building this with the office teams who live this every month.

Run the money side of a construction company?

We're talking with controllers, billing managers, and office leads about how getting paid really works in construction. No pitch. We want to learn what's worth automating first.
