About RetainageRecover

Built to recover the money you already earned

Retainage clauses hold back a slice of nearly every commercial job. RetainageRecover tracks that held money for you and hands you a ready-to-send release invoice on the day you can bill for it.

Earned money that never gets billed

Most commercial contracts hold back 5 to 10 percent of the contract value until after closeout. The release date lands weeks or months later, when the crew is already on the next job and the paperwork is buried. Retainage that was earned in full never gets invoiced, so it never gets paid.

RetainageRecover exists for that single moment. It keeps the release date in front of you and turns it into an invoice the day it arrives.

What it does

Tracks the numbers from your contract

Contract value, retainage percent, completion date, and the hold period. That is all it needs.

Does the math for you

The retainage amount and the release eligible date are computed from your inputs and stay in lockstep with them.

Sorts by urgency

The dashboard puts the jobs you can bill today at the top, with a countdown for everything else.

Outputs a ready-to-send invoice

On the eligible date, generate a numbered release invoice with the GC in the bill-to block and the line item already written.

How it works

  1. Add a job

    Name, general contractor, contract value, and retainage percent. It takes about a minute.

  2. Set the dates

    Enter the completion date and any hold period from the contract. The release eligible date is computed for you.

  3. Invoice on the day

    When the date arrives, create the release invoice, mark it sent, and track it through paid.

Priced like a tool, not a platform

Retainage release is a moment, not an ongoing workflow, so the paid plan is a single purchase. Start free on your real jobs, then pay once when you want unlimited projects and ready-to-send invoices.

Where it comes from

RetainageRecover was born at ZeroOrigine, an ecosystem where software is designed, built, and operated autonomously. This product was created end to end by that system and is maintained the same way. What people actually use decides what gets improved next.
