Payapps

A trusted collaboration tool that connects the construction supply chain.

Cloud construction software for submitting, assessing and approving progress payments for main and subcontractors.

02/09/2026

In 2026, more than a quarter of construction firms are still managing subcontractor payments with pen and paper.

Our latest Construction Finance Report found:

📊 50% use spreadsheets
📧 46% rely on email
📝 27% are still using pen and paper

These aren't small firms tinkering at the edges. This is how payments worth millions are being tracked, checked and approved across the industry.

The problem isn't the people, It's that manual tools were never built for this volume. Every rekeyed figure, every buried email thread and every scribbled note is a dispute, a delay or a compliance risk waiting to happen.

There's a better way to manage payments applications, certifications, variations and retention, and the report lays out exactly why it matters now.

210 subcontractors. Five people to manage the money.

That's the reality for the average construction organisation.

Read that again. Dozens of packages, hundreds of payment applications, endless valuations and variations... all landing on a finance team you could fit round one small table.

It's no wonder month-end feels like a scramble. The maths simply doesn't add up, and the people carrying that load are stretched.

This isn't a headcount problem, it's a process one. When the tools can't keep pace with the volume, the pressure has nowhere to go but onto your team.

Our latest Construction Finance Report digs into what that means for cash flow, compliance and commercial risk, and what good looks like instead 👇

If your FD asked right now, could you tell them where every application for payment sits, what's been certified, what's at risk and what's hitting the bank this month?

For most finance leaders, the honest answer is: not without a few phone calls and a long afternoon.

That isn't just a reporting problem - it's a visibility problem.

Payapps gives contractors and subcontractors real-time sight of every application, certification and variation in one place, so forecasts get cleaner, decisions get faster, and the board pack stops springing surprises.

Money flows when everyone can see it moving. Together.

Three wins. 🏆

Payapps has been named a winner at the 2026 SaaS Awards, and not once but three times.

✅ Best SaaS Product for Construction or Property Management

✅ Best SaaS Solution for Finance and FinTech

✅ Best SaaS Product for Workflow Automation

Three categories that sit right at the centre of what we do. And honestly, we're thrilled.

Here's why it means so much. A payment application is the beating heart of cash flow in construction. Get it right and projects run smoother, disputes drop and money moves the way it should. To be recognised across construction, finance and workflow automation tells us we're solving the problems that actually matter to the people who use Payapps every day.

So this one goes to our teams and to every customer building alongside us. You put us here, and we couldn't be prouder to share it with you.

Data centre pipeline won't wait for paperwork.

Hyperscale builds, compressed programmes and dozens of subcontractor packages running in parallel. The pressure has never been higher, and the margin for error has never been smaller.

When payment applications stall, programmes stall with them. When variations get lost, disputes follow.

Payapps gives contractors and their supply chains one transparent platform for applications, approvals, variations and retention, with real-time visibility, fewer disputes and cash flowing where it needs to.

Building at the speed of demand requires the right commercial foundations.

Dealing with 11 subcontractor disputes every single week sounds incredibly draining🤯

When we dug into the data collected for our latest Construction Research Report, we found a direct link between the tools a commercial team uses and how often they find themselves in the firing line.

QS professionals not using dedicated software to manage applications for payment are twice as likely to be dealing with disputes at the highest frequency... more than 11 times a week!

At that volume, it stops being an occasional headache and starts becoming a serious business risk. And for the people managing it, day in and day out, it's exhausting.

The happiest QS professionals in our research had one thing in common🙌

They use Payapps.

Our latest research found that 89% of Payapps users are satisfied or very satisfied in their role... higher than those not using software for managing applications for payment.

The data also shows that QS teams value autonomy and decision-making above all else, which is hard to do when your week is consumed by paperwork.

By pulling all applications for payment into a single, automated dashboard, Payapps eliminates the countless hours lost to admin. QS professionals can finally lift their heads up and focus on the high-value commercial work they actually enjoy.

We gave Gavin Crombie 30 seconds to answer some super quick fire questions 🎥

Interestingly, the way he described Payapps echoed the way he described the future of construction.

Visibility, control, and compliance lead straight into automation, efficiency, and digital.

The future everyone talks about isn’t all that far away. In a lot of ways, it’s already here in the tools that bring clarity, reduce risk and keep projects moving.

It says a lot about where things are heading... and how close we already are.

If we want to attract and keep young professionals in construction, we have to stop asking them to use tools from the 1990s to do a modern job👷‍♂️

Most graduates and trainees enter the workforce used to the seamless, instant world of WhatsApp, Teams, and app based comms.

Then, they step into a commercial role and get hit with a huge culture shock... a 50-row spreadsheet, a messy shared inbox and a phone that won't stop ringing.

When Designer Group replaced manual spreadsheets with Payapps, the streamlined workflow didn't just save their senior QS team hours of admin every month, it created an environment that actually makes sense to the next generation of talent.

They even get in-app chat support, matching how they already prefer to communicate and solve problems.

We asked Anthony Puma to describe Payapps in three words🎥

Without any hesitation, he said, trusted, loved and simple. We'll take that!

Trusted by contractors. Loved by the teams using it daily. Simple enough that it doesn't become another thing to manage.

As the industry starts to think more seriously about connected ecosystems, that foundation matters more than ever.
