What it doesConstruction management platform centered on payments: AIA pay apps from the SOV, lien waivers, ACH payments and change orders. The vendor calls it AI-powered and built on an "AI-native data spine"; features listed: AIA G702/G703 pay apps generated from the live schedule of values (retainage, stored materials and balance-to-finish calculated), conditional and unconditional lien waivers generated from G702 values, ACH payments, lender-ready bank requisition reports, an AI-assisted SOV workflow that flags inconsistencies before approval, and change orders/change requests auto-generated from SOV changes with cost and schedule impact. SuperConstruct AI is a conversational assistant that answers role-scoped project questions, drafts G702/G703, waivers and change orders, flags planned-vs-actual schedule variance, and runs recurring tasks. Also lists daily logs, RFIs with AI thread summaries, document management, inspections, submittals, and Procore, QuickBooks and ChatGPT integrations. Homepage cites 15,000+ waivers automated, $80M+ in payments processed and approval cycles cut by up to 40%, and names municipal Capital Improvement Programs among users (vendor claims). Re-read Oct 17, 2026 (curl): pricing page still shows $299 per project per month for general contractors, owners, developers and public agencies, unlimited users, and a 30-day free trial; the subcontractor tab is rendered client-side and was not re-read. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (AI-native data spine, 15,000+ waivers, $80M+ payments, approval cycles cut by up to 40%, municipal Capital Improvement Programs; vendor claims); the pricing page also says teams typically save 30 to 40% of manual work (vendor claim). Re-read Oct 20, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (connected change orders and change requests from SOV changes, AI-assisted SOV, AI assistant; vendor figures as above).

The homepage now also lists six additions: a live Gantt built from the SOV, a prioritized action-item list routed by role, a project calendar, a Message Center plus real-time chat, cost tracking outside the pay-app process with cost codes and receipt capture, and pay app validation against G702/G703, retainage and lien waiver rules before submission; it also ties QA/QC quality checks to SOV tasks and says setup takes under an hour (vendor statement). Waiver, payment and approval-cycle figures are vendor claims and not used. Re-checked Oct 24, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (AI pay apps from the SOV, AI-assisted SOV, SuperConstruct AI with role-scoped answers and recurring tasks, AI summaries on long RFI threads, AI document tagging; the new-features list still shows the live Gantt from the SOV, prioritized action items, a project calendar, Message Center and chat).

Waiver and approval-cycle figures are still not used.Cloud software that automates pay applications, lien waivers and compliance documents between general contractors and subcontractors. It covers pay app workflows and automation, lien waiver creation and exchange, compliance document collection, ERP and accounting integration, electronic payments, reporting and dashboards, and official AIA documents. Its change order page says approved change orders sync into the schedule of values (SOV) and pay apps, entries are checked against SOV and contract values, and a BNBuilders quote says GCPay prevents subs from submitting pay apps against unapproved change orders (vendor-published quote). Homepage cites 55+ ENR Top 400 contractors, $35B+ in AFPs processed this year, 6.9M+ lien waivers exchanged and 60,000+ active companies (vendor claims). The pages we read do not describe AI features, so we tag it Not AI-first. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: homepage figures and the pricing approach are unchanged; the pricing page describes usage-based pricing plus onboarding and integration support. Its return-on-investment statement is not repeated here. Still no AI described, so the tag stays. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (pay app workflows and automation, lien waiver creation and exchange, compliance documents, ERP and accounting integration, electronic payments, reporting); its ERP page names Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage Intacct Construction, Vista by Viewpoint, CMiC and an Autodesk Forma Build integration, and the pricing page says GCPay holds the lien waiver in escrow so a signed copy can be viewed before payment is released. The homepage now also cites 2.4M+ compliance documents exchanged and a 6-minute support response time (vendor figures, not used). Still no AI described, so the tag stays. Re-checked Oct 23, 2026: the homepage still describes an end-to-end payment management platform between GCs and subcontractors (pay app automation, lien waiver exchange, compliance documents, ERP integration, electronic payments with waivers held in escrow until payment is released). Still no AI described. Re-checked Oct 25, 2026: unchanged in substance (GC-side pay application automation with subcontractors, lien waiver creation and exchange, compliance documents, ERP integration with Sage, Viewpoint, Acumatica and CMiC, electronic payments with the lien waiver held in escrow until payment is released, and a change order page saying approved change orders update the schedule of values and pay apps). Still no AI described, so the tag stays. Volume counters and quotes are vendor claims and not used.

We keep the earlier basis as a summary. Re-checked Oct 25, 2026: unchanged (custom pricing; the pricing page describes annual subcontracted volume, usage by projects and subcontractors per month, and volume-based options, with in-house onboarding; no figures).

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Pay apps and waivers: SuperConstruct generates AIA G702 and G703 pay apps from the live schedule of values (retainage, stored materials and balance-to-finish calculated), generates conditional and unconditional lien waivers from G702 values, and validates pay apps against AIA standards, retainage controls and lien waiver rules before submission. GCPay automates the pay application process between GCs and subs, creates and exchanges lien waivers, collects compliance documents, offers official AIA documents, and says it holds the lien waiver in escrow so a signed copy can be viewed before payment is released.
  • AI: SuperConstruct describes SuperConstruct AI, a conversational assistant that answers role-scoped project questions, drafts G702, G703, waivers and change orders, flags planned-vs-actual schedule variance and runs recurring tasks, plus AI suggestions on the SOV, AI summaries on RFI threads and AI document tagging. The GCPay pages we read describe no AI.
  • Scope: SuperConstruct also lists daily logs, RFIs, submittals, inspections and quality checks tied to SOV tasks, scheduling, document management, expense management and messaging, aimed at cities and public agencies, GCs, developers and subs. GCPay stays on billing: workflows and automation, change orders synced into the SOV and pay apps, electronic payments, reporting and dashboards, for GC CFOs, controllers, project accountants and PMs.
  • Integrations: SuperConstruct lists Procore, QuickBooks and ChatGPT, Anvil-powered e-signatures and iOS and Android apps. GCPay's ERP integrations page names Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage Intacct Construction, Vista by Viewpoint, CMiC, Acumatica and Autodesk Forma Build, plus Procore Project Financials for companies that cannot integrate their ERP directly.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 25, 2026): SuperConstruct lists $299 per project per month for general contractors, owners, developers and public agencies, billed monthly with unlimited users, data and support and a 30-day free trial with no credit card; the subcontractor tab renders client-side and was not re-read. GCPay publishes no figures: custom pricing based on annual subcontracted volume, with usage-based (projects and subcontractors per month) and volume-based options and in-house onboarding.
  • Not used here: SuperConstruct's payments-processed, waivers-automated and manual-work figures and its Google rating, and GCPay's ENR, AFP volume, waiver, compliance-document, active-company and support-time figures and customer quotes (vendor content).

Questions to ask in your review

  • How SuperConstruct's AI-drafted pay apps and waivers hold up against your owner's and lender's forms

  • What you actually pay, and on what basis (neither publishes full prices)
  • What did you use it for, on what kind of work and project size?
  • How long did setup and training take, and who on your team did it?
  • What does it cost you in practice, compared with what the sales call said?
