Billing shouldn't take longer than the work.
Every month it's the same: copy last month's spreadsheet, update the percentages, recalculate holdback, fix the HST, attach the WSIB and insurance, email it to the GC, then chase it. One wrong cell and the claim comes back.
Drawline keeps your schedule of values, your billing history and your paperwork in one place, and does the math the same way every time.
How it works
Set up the project. Enter the contract value, your schedule of values and the GC's billing contact. Already billing on a job? Enter what's been billed so far and pick up from there.
Enter progress. Each month, update the percent complete for each line. Drawline shows this period's billing as you type.
Issue the invoice. Holdback, HST and previous billings are calculated for you. Print it or send it with your schedule of values, WSIB, insurance and stat dec attached.
Get paid. Track what's outstanding, record payments and let Drawline send polite reminders before and after the due date.
Features
Holdback, done right.
10% holdback on every invoice, HST on the net amount, and a running total of holdback retained, released and still owed on every job. Estimated annual release dates under the 2026 rules.
Change orders that add up.
Track pending, approved and rejected change orders. Approved ones are billed as their own lines, with subtotals for the base contract and changes.
Revisions without the mess.
GC rejected a claim? Issue INV-0012-R1 with the corrections. Issued invoices never change, so your records always match what you sent.
The whole package.
Print the invoice and schedule of values, or a single PDF package with your WSIB clearance, certificate of insurance and statutory declaration. Drawline tracks when your WSIB and insurance expire.
Know where you stand.
One dashboard shows what's coming up, what's outstanding by project, holdback held and what you billed this month.

Built around the Construction Act, not adapted to it.
Most billing software is made for the US, with AIA forms, retainage and US dollars. Drawline is built for how subcontractors bill in Ontario: 10% statutory holdback, 13% HST, the annual holdback release that started January 1, 2026, and Canadian data storage.

FAQ
Who is Drawline for?
Subcontractors and trades in Ontario who bill general contractors with monthly progress claims against a schedule of values.
Do I have to start a new project to use it?
No. For a job already in progress, enter what's been billed, held back and paid so far, and Drawline picks up from your next claim.
Does it work with my GC's billing portal?
Drawline produces a standard invoice and schedule of values PDF you can upload to any portal or email directly.
Where is my data stored?
Your billing data and documents are stored in Canada. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Is Drawline legal or accounting advice?
No. It calculates holdback and HST the standard way and estimates release dates, but your contract and your accountant have the final say.
