Construction
Payment controls built for construction operations.
Construction companies move large, time-pressured payments through subcontractors, suppliers, and change orders — often faster than their payment processes have grown. Construction is the first XAMVEN edition.
Why Construction First
Construction payment risk has its own shape.
Subcontractor draws, retainage, change orders, and progress billing don't look like a typical accounts-payable workflow — and generic fraud-prevention advice doesn't address them. Construction isn't the only industry that needs payment controls, but it's a clear, concrete place to build the first complete system.
Where It Applies
Real construction payment workflows.
Vendor onboarding
Confirming a new subcontractor or supplier's identity before they're paid.
Vendor bank-detail changes
Independently verifying any change to where a vendor gets paid.
Invoice validation
Checking invoices against purchase orders and contracts before payment.
Progress payments
Matching payments to the approved schedule of values.
Change orders
Confirming a payment reflects a properly approved change order.
High-value payments
Extra review for payments above your company's threshold.
Urgent payment requests
Handling time pressure without skipping verification.
Payment exceptions
A defined process for requests that don't fit the normal pattern.
Payment release
A final check before funds actually go out.
Management review
Regular visibility into whether controls are actually being followed.
Near-miss reporting
Capturing suspicious requests that were caught before any money moved.
Incident response
A defined sequence for responding if something does go wrong.
