Residential contractors live and die by steady cash flow. Every time a client hesitates because your invoice is unclear or missing information, project momentum slows and margins shrink. The single line item that causes the most back-and-forth is often the simplest to fix: bank details on invoice. When the account name, BSB/routing number, and reference fields are incomplete or inconsistent, clients stall, bookkeepers chase, and site crews wait for funds.
• Average residential projects juggle 15-25 material drops. Delayed payments push credit limits with suppliers.
• Subcontractors rely on predictable payout dates to staff the next job. Missing details can add seven days or more to the pay cycle.
• Loan-funded builds demand strict draw schedules. Lenders will not release funds without verifiable banking information on every invoice.
CountBricks embeds bank details automatically, eliminating the risk of manual typos and ensuring your payment instructions are identical across estimates, progress claims, and final invoices.
• Copy-pasting account numbers from old templates, leading to outdated or closed accounts.
• Listing personal banking instead of the company’s construction trust account.
• Forgetting the SWIFT or IBAN code on invoices sent to overseas investors.
• Changing bank branches mid-project without updating every invoice template.
• Leaving payment reference fields blank, forcing clients to guess which invoice they are paying.
• Voice-to-Estimate capture: While you walk the site and dictate measurements, CountBricks assigns your default banking profile in the background.
• Template locking: Admins set approved bank details once; field supervisors cannot accidentally edit them on subsequent invoices.
• Real-time validation: If numbers are missing digits or contain letters, CountBricks flags the error before the PDF is generated.
• Multi-account support: Allocate separate bank details for deposits, retention, or trust funds and switch with a single tap.
• Instant resend: Need to correct an invoice already sent? Update the bank details and CountBricks automatically re-issues the document with a revision note.
1. Navigate to Settings > Financial Profiles inside your CountBricks dashboard.
2. Select “Add New Bank Account” and enter account name, BSB/routing, account number, and optional SWIFT/IBAN.
3. Toggle “Default for All Invoices” or assign the profile to specific job cost centers.
4. Upload a voided check or bank letter for internal reference—clients will not see this attachment.
5. Save, and CountBricks auto-tests the number sequence for common errors.
• Add a polite “Please use invoice number as reference” line directly below your bank details on invoice PDFs.
• Offer digital wallet or credit-card options via CountBricks Pay to capture funds on the same day.
• Schedule automatic reminder emails three days before the due date; late payments drop by 42 % when reminders include bank details and a one-click pay link.
Residential clients increasingly demand proof that their payments are landing in the right account. CountBricks encrypts your banking data at rest and in transit, meeting ISO 27001-aligned protocols.
• Two-factor authentication prevents unauthorized changes to invoice banking sections.
• Detailed audit logs show who changed what and when, protecting you during audits or disputes.
• Role-based permissions let project managers view but not edit bank details, keeping governance in the hands of finance admins.
Because CountBricks generates estimates, material takeoffs, and invoices from a single data set, your bank details cascade through every document type automatically. Update once, and it populates everywhere—from the initial AI blueprint takeoff to the final variation order.
• Faster quote acceptance: Homeowners can review costs and deposit funds immediately.
• Clear cost tracking: Payment receipts auto-reconcile to their originating estimate line items.
• Reduced disputes: Consistent banking data builds trust and professionalism.

• Automated reminders went out 72 hours before due dates, including one-click pay links.
• Average days-to-pay dropped from 18 to 12—a 30 % improvement.
• Supplier early-payment discounts saved the builder $8,750.
• Zero disputes over banking details, compared to four in the previous project.
