Everything a construction budget demands

Built from the ground up for construction finance — not adapted from generic project management tools.

Real-Time Budget Tracking

See your committed costs, actual spend, and remaining budget at a glance across every line item. No manual reconciliation — your budget updates the moment you log a cost event.

Draw Schedule Management

Define draw milestones tied to construction phases — foundation, framing, MEP rough, finishes, final. TerraLine tracks which draws have been submitted, approved, and funded.

Lender-Ready PDF Exports

Generate formatted draw request PDFs that your lender or title company accepts without redlines. Includes line-item detail, percentage complete, and stored receipts — ready to submit in minutes.

Vendor Cost Tracking

Maintain a complete vendor directory tied to your budget lines. Track contract amounts, invoices, and payment status for every sub, supplier, and service provider on the job.

Cost Event Logging

Log invoices, change orders, and cost events as they happen — not at month-end. Each entry is timestamped, categorized to a budget line, and available for lender review on demand.

Change Order Management

Capture scope changes, owner-initiated additions, and unforeseen conditions as structured change orders. Every CO is priced, approved, and folded into your running budget automatically.

Up and running in under 15 minutes

No onboarding call required. Import your existing budget or build one from scratch.

Create Your Project

Set up a project with your address, loan amount, and target completion date. TerraLine pre-structures a budget template based on your project type — ground-up residential, commercial TI, or ADU.

02

Add Budget Lines

Import a spreadsheet or build your budget line by line: land, soft costs, site work, foundation, framing, roofing, MEP, finishes, and contingency. Assign budgets, contractors, and draw phases to each line.

03

Track Costs & Export

Log invoices and cost events as the job progresses. When it's time to draw, TerraLine generates a lender-formatted PDF in seconds — showing exactly what was spent, by whom, against your approved budget.

Common questions

What is a construction budget tracker?

A construction budget tracker is software that monitors your project's financial position in real time — tracking original budget, committed costs, actual expenditures, and remaining balance for every line item across a construction project. Unlike generic accounting tools, a purpose-built construction budget tracker understands draw schedules, lender reporting requirements, change orders, and the phase-based nature of construction finance.

How is TerraLine different from using a spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets break down under the weight of a real construction project: multiple team members editing simultaneously, no audit trail, manual copy-paste into draw request documents, and no connection to your lender's workflow. TerraLine is purpose-built for construction — it handles draw scheduling, lender exports, change order tracking, and vendor cost management out of the box, with no formulas to maintain.

Can TerraLine generate lender draw request documents?

Yes. TerraLine exports formatted PDF draw requests that include line-item detail, percentage complete, contractor information, and a cost event summary. Most lenders accept TerraLine's export without modification. You can run a draw report at any point in the project, not just at scheduled draw dates.

Does TerraLine work for both residential and commercial construction?

TerraLine is designed for real estate developers and GCs across project types: ground-up single-family and multifamily residential, commercial tenant improvements, mixed-use, and ADUs. The budget structure adapts to your project type, and draw schedules can be configured to match your lender's requirements regardless of asset class.

How do I handle change orders in TerraLine?

Change orders are logged as structured entries — each with a description, cost impact, reason code (owner-requested, unforeseen conditions, scope clarification), and approval status. Once approved, the CO value rolls into your live budget automatically, updating remaining balances and your next draw report. You'll always know exactly how much your project has grown from the original budget.
