Budget & Invoice Control for Developers

Stop running a multi-million-dollar budget on a spreadsheet that can break with one keystroke.

budgeted.io is the dedicated financial control system for real estate developers, construction managers, and general contractors. Track every hard and soft cost line, draw down contingency in real time, and pull a complete draw package — for your lender or your owner — with every invoice attached to the line it funds.

The Status Quo Is a Liability

A $40M budget held together by linked tabs and a folder no one can find.

Your proforma is a feat of engineering — until a sort scrambles a formula, a pasted row shifts a SUM range, and the draw request is due Friday. Then you're reconciling by hand and emailing three people for one missing invoice.

✕
Formulas break silently

One inserted row or bad paste and a cost-code total is wrong for weeks — discovered only when the numbers stop tying out.

✕
Invoices live in email threads

The backup for a line item is a PDF buried in someone's inbox or a 9-level subfolder. Draw prep becomes a scavenger hunt.

✕
Every number is keyed by hand

Manual entry across versions means no one trusts the "current" file — and version_FINAL_v7_USE-THIS.xlsx is never actually final.

✕
Change orders surface too late

By the time a cost overrun shows up in the spreadsheet, the contingency it should have drawn from is already gone.

38%
of a developer's admin time is lost chasing paperwork and re-keying numbers that should already be reconciled.

What budgeted.io Does

One system of record for the money — from budget line to draw.

Purpose-built for the financial side of development. Not a field app with a budget tab bolted on.

01 / FINANCIAL CONTROL

Live budget tracking that ties out every time

Structure the full budget — hard costs, soft costs, and contingency — and watch committed, spent, and forecast move in real time. No linked tabs, no broken ranges.

  • Separate hard and soft cost structures with your own cost codes and divisions
  • Live contingency drawdowns — reallocate against a line and see the remaining balance instantly
  • Committed vs. spent vs. forecast at completion on every line, rolled up to the project
  • Locked, audited budget with 1-click Excel importing — go from static spreadsheet to active project in 60 seconds with full revision history
The superpower 02 / INVOICE & DOCUMENT VAULT

Every invoice attached to the line item it funds

Upload an invoice and pin it directly to the budget line it impacts. The backup lives where the number lives — so draw prep and audits stop being scavenger hunts.

  • Instant upload and retrieval — drag a PDF onto a line; find it in one click, not nine subfolders
  • Backup paired to the line item, so every dollar drawn has its documentation one tap away
  • No more invoices lost in email threads or scattered drives
  • Audit-ready in seconds when an owner, lender, partner, or auditor asks "show me the backup"
03 / MONEY OUTFLOW

Draw packages and change orders, under control

Assemble the draw package — for a lender or an owner — and govern change before it bleeds the budget. These are the two places where development money actually leaves the building.

  • Generate audit-ready draw packages for banks and owners, with line detail and attached backup, ready to submit
  • Change order log tied to the budget — see the impact on contingency the moment it's logged
  • Catch overruns before they consume your buffer, not after
  • Clean handoff to owners, lenders, and equity partners with a defensible paper trail
04 / LIVE REPORTING

From historical reporting to anticipated cost

Stop reporting on where the money went last month. See where it's going — with forecast curves built off live commitments and change activity.

  • Anticipated cost reports generated from current data, not a month-old export
  • Forecast-at-completion curves that update as commitments and change orders land
  • Contingency burn and cash flow projections by cost code and project
  • Owner-, investor-, and lender-ready output without rebuilding a deck every cycle
