Illustrative dashboard

Built around the contracts you already work under
From contract upload to issued notice in minutes
Everything a QS needs in one place
AI contract reading
Upload a JCT or NEC contract PDF — the AI extracts payment terms, retention, dates and notice deadlines for you to check and lock.
Line-by-line AfP review
Every claimed item assessed against the locked contract, with editable suggested figures, queries and over-claim flags.
Purchase orders & custom terms
No standard contract? Add a purchase order, quote or works order — type it in, or let the AI scan it — then run the whole payment cycle against it.
Payment & Pay Less Notices
Statutory notices drafted and branded with your logo and registered details — correctly structured, dated and print-ready.
VAT & CIS invoices
20% / 5% / domestic reverse charge and CIS labour deductions handled, with optional one-click Stripe payment links.
Remittance advice
Record a payment received against one or more invoices, with a branded confirmation.
Retention tracking
Retention held and both release moieties — at practical completion and the end of defects — tracked automatically.
Variations & valuations
JCT variations and NEC compensation events, valued and rolled into the account, with photo evidence.
Certificates
Practical completion, making-good and final certificates, structured and dated — checked and issued by you.
Cost plan & CVR
Cost/value reconciliation from budget to final account, with AI cost benchmarking.
Tenders, risks & programme
Tender comparison, a risk register and project milestones, all in one place.
CIS reconciliation
Upload a contractor's Payment & Deduction Statement and the AI checks the CIS deducted against what's expected — plus a year-end CIS-suffered summary.
Cashflow, deadlines & assistant
Aged-debtor cashflow, every statutory deadline on a calendar with reminders, and an AI assistant that answers questions about your own portfolio.
Try the deadline logic first — the Payment Notice Checker
Enter your dates and get a plain-English verdict on whether a payment notice or pay less notice is valid and served in time — free, no account needed, before you start your free trial.
No Pay Less Notice in time, and the notified sum is the amount that must be paid.
Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, section 111 — paraphrased. PayCycle tracks the dates; the notice is always checked and issued by you.
Not just another form filler
Upload a JCT or NEC contract, a purchase order, a quote or a works order and the AI reads it, pulling out the payment terms and deadlines. No document to hand? Type the terms in yourself. Either way, PayCycle then checks every application against them.
And the AI never decides on its own: every figure is cited to the exact clause and page it came from and given a confidence rating, so you can check it against the source and lock it in. You stay in control.
You review, edit and lock every figure before it's used.
Your whole payment cycle on one timeline
Lock the terms once and every application gets its dates mapped — due date, notice windows and the final date for payment — straight from the contract you locked.
- Dates calculated from the terms you lock
- Payment and Pay Less Notice windows shown for each application
- Works with JCT, NEC, purchase orders and custom terms
Alerts that arrive while you can still act
Deadlines are only useful before they pass. PayCycle puts every statutory date on your calendar and reminds you ahead of each one — with time to issue the notice yourself.
- Every statutory deadline on one calendar
- Reminders before each notice window closes
- Deadlines sorted by what's due next
Illustrative reminders — yours follow your contract dates.
Built for both sides of the payment cycle

Built by a QS who's chased the same payments you have
PayCycle is built in the UK by a Chartered Quantity Surveyor, after years of valuations, notices and final accounts on both sides of the payment cycle. It exists because chasing payment shouldn't be the hardest part of the job.
Every feature starts with how the cycle actually runs on site — and the AI only ever suggests. You decide every figure that goes out the door.
