The hatched zone is money you already earned, aging past 90 days. Our job is to shrink it — and keep it shrunk.

The problem

Subcontractors get paid last

Progress billing, retainage, portal submissions, waiver exchanges, and multi-layer approvals put subs at the end of the payment chain. Nobody in your office has time to chase it properly — so it doesn't get chased, and the LOC floats the gap.

What we run

Your entire collect-the-money function

Not a collection agency. Not software. A senior receivables operator working inside your systems, in your name.

Follow-up cadence

Weekly aging review and a disciplined, documented follow-up rhythm on every open invoice — before it ages, not after.

Pay app compliance

Every GC bills differently. We submit yours their way — format, backup, portal, and cutoff — so nothing gets kicked back and the clock never resets.

Lien waiver management

Progress and final waivers tracked, exchanged, and matched to payments. The number-one silent payment blocker, handled.

Retainage pursuit

We track every dollar held and actively pursue releases the moment your work qualifies, instead of letting it sit for a year.

Escalation protocol

Firm, professional escalation on stalled accounts — every step agreed with you in advance, sent in your voice. GC relationships stay intact.

Leadership reporting

Monthly DSO, aging, and a rolling cash-flow forecast built from how your GCs actually pay — straight to leadership. One number tells you whether we're earning our keep.

How it works

Diagnose first. Then run it.

STEP 01

A 20-minute call

Bring your aging report. We'll tell you straight whether there's real money to recover — and if there isn't, we'll say so.

STEP 02

AR & billing compliance audit

A two-week diagnostic: DSO and aging analysis, GC-by-GC billing profiles, retainage and deadline risk review, and a quantified 90-day cash plan. One flat fee, no hourly meter — credited toward your first month when you retain within 30 days. You keep the findings either way.

STEP 03

Ongoing fractional AR

We take over the function on a flat monthly retainer — no contingency fees, no percentage of your collections — and manage it to a target DSO.

Who's behind it

Built by a sub, for subs

Draw & Due is run by an operator who spent twenty years on the subcontractor side — from superintendent to the executive seat of a $30M+ specialty contractor — building the billing, compliance, and collections systems that keep crews paid and a balance sheet healthy. We've submitted the pay apps, argued the change orders, and chased the retainage. That's why GCs take our calls.

If you bill a GC, we speak your language

Pay apps, retainage, and waiver chains work the same way whether you're pulling wire or pouring footings. We serve the trades that carry the industry:

Electrical
Mechanical & HVAC
Plumbing & Fire Protection
Concrete & Foundations
Sitework & Earthwork
Roofing & Waterproofing
Drywall & Interior Finishes
Structural Steel & Framing
Masonry
Glass & Glazing

Straight answers

Questions owners ask

Are you a collection agency?
No. We manage your current commercial receivables as an extension of your office — professional follow-up, billing compliance, and escalation. When a lien filing or legal action is warranted, we flag it early and coordinate with your attorney or lien service.
Will this damage my GC relationships?
The opposite, usually. Most slow pay isn't malice — it's a rejected pay app, a missing waiver, or nobody calling until day 60. Clean, compliant billing plus consistent professional follow-up makes you the sub who's easy to pay. Escalation steps are agreed with you before anyone acts.
What systems do you work in?
Yours. QuickBooks, Sage, Foundation, Vista, and the GC portals — Textura, GCPay, Procore, and the rest. There's nothing new for your office to learn.
Does this replace my office staff?
No. Your team keeps doing what they do; we take the follow-up, compliance, and escalation burden they never had time for. If you were considering hiring a dedicated AR person, this is the senior version of that hire at a fraction of the loaded cost.
Who is this for?
Trade subcontractors $1M–$50M in annual revenue — wherever receivables are big enough to hurt and nobody truly owns the chase. If that's you, the first call costs nothing.

Take the checklist

Five billing mistakes that reset your payment clock — the compliance misses we find in almost every audit, and how to catch each one before your next cutoff. One page. No fluff, no drip campaign.

We'll follow up once. That's it.
