Stop the busywork

Bill demolition work without the spreadsheets

Demolition bills on a schedule of values or T&M, with heavy equipment costs on every job. When billing and costs live in spreadsheets, margin leaks and cash comes in slow. The numbers back that up: in [Billd's 2026 National Subcontractor Market Report](https://billd.com/resources/2026-market-report/), 64% of subcontractors reported slow payment from GCs, waiting an average of 51 days.

The spreadsheet way
  • Build pay apps in Excel
  • Forget retainage
  • Equipment costs untracked
  • Job costs after the fact
With Werx
  • G702 and G703 style pay apps built for you
  • Retainage tracked
  • Equipment costed to the job
  • Job costs in real time

Werx gets demolition contractors out of spreadsheets. Estimate, bill progress and T&M, cost labor and equipment, and get paid in one app.

Pricing that scales with you, not against you

The money side of a demolition business for $49 a month

Construction billing and job costing platforms publish entry prices from $149 to $599 a month, with per-user fees up to $20 and features like job costing often gated to higher tiers (as of July 2026). Werx takes the opposite approach: flat plans from $49 a month, every feature on every plan, and users are $6.

For a demolition contractor, that is less than one load hauled off site a month to run the entire office side. See pricing for the full breakdown, or compare Werx to the platforms you are looking at.

  • Every feature on every plan, from day one
  • AIA-style billing, T&M invoicing, estimates, and job costing included
  • Users are $6 a month, time-only users $4, no caps
  • No contracts, 14-day free trial, no credit card
The problem

Where demolition contractors lose money

Most lost margin hides in billing and job costs. Here is where it slips, and how Werx catches it.

Pay apps stuck in Excel

GCs want G702 and G703 style pay apps. Werx builds them from your schedule of values.

AIA billing

Retainage you forget to chase

Retainage of 5 to 10 percent adds up across jobs. Werx tracks it on every pay app.

Progress billing

Equipment costs untracked

Equipment time can sink a job. Werx costs labor and equipment by cost code.

Job costing

Unbilled change orders

Extra scope that is not tracked never gets billed. Werx turns field tickets into change orders.

Change orders

Late T&M invoices

T&M work billed days later slows your cash. Invoice as the work happens.

Time and material invoicing

Slow payments

Paper checks stall your cash. Let customers pay online by card or ACH.

Online payments

Features that move your demolition business forward

Werx gives demolition contractors the office tools to bid, bill, and get paid. Each one is built for the work, not borrowed from a generic app.

Bill an AIA-style pay app and get paid

Larger demolition work bills on a schedule of values, not a flat invoice. Werx builds the G702 and G703 style pay application for you.

Set percent complete on each line. Werx calculates retainage and the current payment due. No spreadsheet, no math errors.

Send the pay app to the GC through a branded portal. They review and pay online. Learn more about AIA billing and what AIA billing is.

How a commercial demolition job bills in Werx

Take a $175,000 selective demolition contract on a mall renovation. The GC pays monthly by percent complete and holds 10 percent retainage until the site is signed off. In Werx, your schedule of values could look like this:

SOV lineScheduled value% completeEarned to date
Mobilization and permits$12,000100%$12,000
Interior strip-out$48,000100%$48,000
Structural demolition$70,00045%$31,500
Hauling and disposal$30,00040%$12,000
Backfill and site cleanup$15,0000%$0
Total$175,00059%$103,500

Werx turns those percentages into a G702 and G703 style pay application: $103,500 earned, $10,350 held as retainage, prior billings subtracted, and this month's payment due figured for you. Find asbestos abatement or an extra slab to break out, and the approved change order bills on the next pay app instead of getting lost. To dig into the method, see our guides to the schedule of values and WIP reporting.

What is demolition contractor software?

Demolition contractor software is an office tool that handles estimates, billing, job costs, and payments for demolition companies. It replaces spreadsheets and paper for the money side of the business.

There is plenty of competition for that work. The Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts 41,777 establishments among site preparation contractors, the industry group that includes demolition. The companies that hold margin in that crowd are the ones that bill every load and cost every machine hour.

Werx is built for the work. Bill larger jobs on a schedule of values with progress and AIA-style billing, bill smaller jobs as T&M, and cost labor and equipment to the job.

See job costs in real time, track time from the field, and sync to QuickBooks. You bid, bill, and get paid from one place.
