Underground & Utility Contractors
You measured the footage. Did the invoice?
Aggregate gets rounded up. Pipe footage drifts from the tag count. Equipment rates creep above the rental agreement. Stand-by gets billed as operating. Change orders pile up faster than anyone can verify the markup. CheckIT catches every line that drifted — across every stage of the job. Five minutes from upload to flagged.
Where the money goes
Four ways profit leaves an underground job.
Material quantity overruns
Aggregate, pipe, and concrete get billed by the ton, the foot, or the yard. Suppliers round up. Tag counts don't match delivery tickets. By the time anyone reconciles, the invoice is paid.
Equipment rate creep
Daily and monthly rates drift from the rental agreement. Fuel surcharges appear that weren't in the quote. Stand-by gets billed as operating.
Change-order creep
Utility relocations and unforeseen conditions stack up. Labor and equipment markups on COs are fertile ground for overcharges — and CO invoices get less scrutiny than standard ones.
Progress billing errors
Stored materials, completed footage, installed quantities — every draw needs a manual cross-check that nobody has time to do.
How CheckIT fits the underground workflow
Tools for how underground actually bills.
CheckIT Invoice — the live tool — sits between when a vendor invoice arrives and when your team approves payment. Drop the invoice and the quote in. The engine flags every line that doesn't match the contract. As we ship the other tools, the same engine extends across CO validation and pre-con estimating — same interface, same drag-drop, more margin protected. Every stage answers one of the three money questions on the job — what will it cost, what should you pay, and what did you actually pay versus what you agreed.
