FORGE/THE CHEST/TREASURY
VII.A DRAWER IN THE CHEST · COMING SOON · PAYROLL · LABOR COST · CHANGE-ORDERS

Coming soon:
the pay period that closes itself.

Treasury is in development — coming soon. It will file certified payroll in the time it takes to make coffee, with job costing the estimator and the bookkeeper read the same way, and change-orders that write themselves while the truck is still in the parking lot.

TREASURY — DRAWER VII
Treasury
ON THE COVENANT · FOUNDING CHARTER + MASTER TIER · EVERY DRAWER, FOREVER
i.The job — what this drawer is for

The pains the founder built it against.

  • 01.
    The certified payroll that took three days to file every two weeks. Davis-Bacon rates pulled from a binder, prevailing wage calculated by hand, WH-347 forms re-typed every cycle, and the bookkeeper quietly hating Mondays.
  • 02.
    The change-order on the rooftop unit that died in someone's email. The PM didn't know it had been signed; the bookkeeper didn't know it had been billed; the original BOM was the version that landed on the customer's desk three months later.
  • 03.
    Job cost that lived in a spreadsheet downstream of the estimating tool, downstream of the dispatch tool, downstream of the payroll tool — and never reconciled to any of them. The operator's gross margin number was a guess until the auditor showed up.
  • 04.
    The OCIP project where the GC's compliance team needed proof of insurance broken out by labor classification, and pulling that report meant five separate tools and a phone call.
ii.What's inside the drawer

The tools that ship together.

I
Certified payroll
A · WH-347

Coming soon. Davis-Bacon wage determinations will pull per project. Prevailing wage calculated per technician per task. WH-347 forms will generate signed and ready to file — targeting 11–15 minutes per pay period instead of multi-day filings.

II
Job costing
B · COMING SOON

Coming soon. Labor, materials, equipment, and sub costs will ledger against the project's estimate. Variance flagged the day it appears, not the month after. The estimator and the bookkeeper will read the same number because they share the same record.

III
Change-orders
C · TRUCK-DOOR

Coming soon. Field-initiated change-orders will generate from the install ticket or the scan delta. Customer signs from the truck. Treasury will write the financial side automatically — billable hours, additional materials, margin impact.

IV
Insurance + compliance
D · OCIP/CCIP

Coming soon. OCIP/CCIP-aware reports. Workers' comp class codes per technician. EPLI and GL exposure tied to project type. The GC's compliance team will get the report they asked for in the format they asked for.

V
Refrigerant ledger (HVAC)
E · SECTION 608

Coming soon. EPA Section 608 refrigerant tracking for HVAC operators. Cylinder ID, technician cert, charge added, charge recovered, leak rate per piece of equipment. The annual EPA compliance report will run in minutes.

VI
Recurring revenue
F · RMR

Coming soon. A recurring monthly revenue ledger for security/fire/HVAC service contracts. Renewals, escalators, and true-ups will be handled inside the same chest as the install. The recurring P&L will be honest because the data is.

iii.The federation — how this drawer talks to the rest

One architecture.
Not bolted on.

Every drawer in the chest shares state with every other. Treasuryis a module, not a separately acquired product wedged in via integration. The line between drawers is editorial — for the operator's mental model. The line between products is what ServiceTitan and AccuLynx have to live with; Forge doesn't.

  • DISPATCH
    Coming soon. Tech hours will land in the payroll ledger from the dispatch board, not from a separate timesheet. The certs that gated the assignment are the certs that will gate the wage class.
  • ESTIMATING
    Coming soon. Variance against the estimate will be computed against the version that was bid, not the version that was renegotiated mid-project. The change-order trail is preserved.
  • PLATE
    Coming soon. Certified payroll forms, OCIP reports, and audit packages will land on the project's document plate as version-controlled artifacts the AHJ or the GC can verify.
  • HYPERION
    Coming soon. Field scans that surface a scope delta will drive the change-order workflow directly. The change order will write itself off the scan, not off a memory of what was different.

v.Questions a working operator asks

The honest answers,
without the sales gloss.

01.
Does Treasury handle Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage?

Treasury is in development — coming soon. Once it ships, Davis-Bacon rates will pull from the wage determination per project. Prevailing wage will be calculated per technician per task at the rate for the work classification, not the operator's home classification. The WH-347 will generate signed and ready to file, and the audit trail will be automatic.

02.
Does Treasury replace ADP, Gusto, or QuickBooks Payroll?

Treasury is a payroll module in development — coming soon — purpose-built for operators with prevailing-wage and certified-payroll exposure. For operators whose only payroll need is non-prevailing-wage W-2 employees, ADP or Gusto remain reasonable choices. For operators who file certified payroll on multiple projects per pay period, Treasury is being built to replace the payroll-and-export-to-spreadsheets workflow with one chest.

03.
How does change-order routing work?

Coming soon. A field operator will initiate from the install ticket or the scan delta. The change order will generate with line items, labor hours, and margin impact pre-filled from the project's estimate. Customer signs in the field. The PM will see the signed change order in the project log; Treasury will see the financial impact in the labor + cost ledger; the bookkeeper will see the receivable when the next invoice generates.

04.
What about OCIP and CCIP projects?

Coming soon. Workers' comp class codes will assign per technician per project. OCIP-eligible labor will report separately from non-OCIP labor in the same payroll cycle. The GC's compliance team will get the labor breakdown by classification on request, generated from the same ledger that drives the payroll itself.
