Stop the busywork
Bill masonry work without the spreadsheets
Commercial masonry bills on a schedule of values with retainage held back. When pay apps and job costs live in spreadsheets, margin leaks and cash comes in slow. Every sub feels it: 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.
- Build pay apps in Excel
- Forget retainage
- Change orders unbilled
- Job costs after the fact
- G702 and G703 style pay apps built for you
- Retainage tracked
- Change orders billed
- Job costs in real time
Werx gets masonry contractors out of spreadsheets. Estimate, bill on a schedule of values, track job costs, and get paid in one app.
The money side of a masonry 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 masonry shop, that is less than a pallet of block 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 and progress billing, 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
Where masonry 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 billingRetainage you forget to chase
Retainage of 5 to 10 percent adds up across jobs. Werx tracks it on every pay app.
Progress billingUnbilled change orders
Extra work in the field often never gets billed. Werx turns field tickets into billable change orders.
Change ordersNo live job costs
Without real-time costs, material and labor overruns hit late. Werx shows budget versus actual by cost code.
Job costingFuzzy crew hours
Paper time sheets cost you on payroll. Crews log time by job and cost code from the field.

Bill an AIA-style pay app and get paid

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 masonry job bills in Werx
Picture a $310,000 masonry package on a school addition: block structure, brick veneer, stone accents. The contract bills monthly by percent complete with 5 percent retainage. In Werx, the schedule of values might run like this:
| SOV line | Scheduled value | % complete | Earned to date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobilization and scaffolding | $18,000 | 100% | $18,000 |
| CMU block walls | $120,000 | 70% | $84,000 |
| Brick veneer | $130,000 | 40% | $52,000 |
| Stone accents and caps | $28,000 | 0% | $0 |
| Cleaning and closeout | $14,000 | 0% | $0 |
| Total | $310,000 | 50% | $154,000 |
Enter the percent complete on each line and Werx assembles the G702 and G703 style pay application: $154,000 earned, $7,700 held as retainage, prior billings deducted, current payment due shown to the dollar. Extra scope, like a garden wall the architect adds late, goes through an approved change order and lands on the next pay app automatically. For more on the mechanics, see our guides to the schedule of values and WIP reporting.

Built for the trades
Made for contractors who bill commercial work on a schedule of values, not a plain invoice tool.
Real AIA-style billing
G702 and G703 style pay apps with retainage. Most small-shop tools cannot do this.

Live job costs and profit on every job, so you catch losses while you can still fix them.
Works with QuickBooks
Two-way sync with QuickBooks Online on every plan, at no extra cost.
One office system

Werx feeds QuickBooks, so the numbers always agree
Werx does not replace QuickBooks Online. It feeds it. Every pay app, invoice, payment, and expense you record in Werx flows into your books on its own, and changes made in QuickBooks come back the other way. Your bookkeeper reconciles a masonry job in minutes because both systems are looking at the same numbers.

Masonry contractor software is an office tool that handles estimates, billing, job costs, and payments for masonry companies. It replaces spreadsheets and paper for the money side of the business.
The field is competitive: the Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts 18,258 masonry contractor establishments in the U.S. Skilled labor stays in demand too. BLS 2024-34 projections show 74,100 brickmasons and blockmasons employed in 2024, with 3 percent growth by 2034, about 5,600 openings a year, and a May 2025 BLS median wage of $62,120. With crews that cost that much, the billing side has to hold its own.
Werx is built for commercial masonry work. Bill on a schedule of values with progress and AIA-style billing, and track retainage to the end of the job.
Track labor and material from the field, see job costs in real time, and sync to QuickBooks. You bid, bill, and get paid from one place.
