Construction Hub v1.6 — Stripe Payments, AI Document Wizard, and Excel Import
Version 1.6 introduces Stripe integration for self-service payments, an AI Document Wizard for automatic data extraction from documents, Excel import for acts, partners, and users, price list versioning, and global keyboard shortcuts.
Just two weeks after v1.5, we are introducing Construction Hub v1.6 — a release that adds three powerful new capabilities: integrated online payments, intelligent data extraction with AI, and bulk import from Excel.
Stripe Payments — Subscribe in a Few Clicks
With the new Stripe integration, subscribing to Construction Hub has become incredibly simple. Users can choose a plan, enter payment details, and manage their subscription — all directly from the system, without needing to contact our team.
What the Integration Includes
- Self-service subscription — choose a plan and pay with a credit or debit card
- Automatic renewal — no service interruption
- Subscription management — change plans, update payment details, view invoices
- Secure payments — all transactions go through Stripe, PCI DSS certified
Email Verification on Registration
Alongside the payment integration, we also introduced email verification during registration. Every new user receives an email with a confirmation link, ensuring account security and validating the provided email address.
AI Document Wizard — AI Reads Your Documents For You
This is the feature we received the most requests for. AI Document Wizard uses artificial intelligence to analyze uploaded documents (PDFs, scanned images, photos) and automatically extract structured data — amounts, dates, line items, partners, and everything else.
How It Works
- Upload the document — an invoice, act, offer, or any other construction document
- AI analyzes the content — recognizes text, tables, and key fields
- Review the extracted data — the system shows what it recognized for your approval
- Confirm and save — the data is automatically populated into the corresponding form
Why This Is a Game-Changer for Construction
Construction documents are complex — quantity surveys with dozens of line items, invoices from different suppliers in different formats, acts with cumulative completion. Manual data entry takes hours and is prone to errors. AI Document Wizard reduces document processing time from 15-30 minutes to under 1 minute and eliminates errors from manual transcription.

Excel Import — Bulk Data Entry Made Easy
Migrating from Excel to Construction Hub has never been easier. The new Excel Import module supports bulk importing of:
- Acts — import existing work completion acts with all line items
- Partners — load your entire list of clients, suppliers, and subcontractors at once
- Users — add the entire team with roles and permissions in seconds
The system validates the data before import, shows warnings for potential issues, and allows corrections before the final save.
Price List Versioning
Price lists now support versioning — when a supplier updates prices, you can create a new version without losing the history. Previous versions remain accessible, and the system automatically uses the current one when creating new documents.
Price List Import and Export
Price lists can now be imported from and exported to Excel. Received a price list from a supplier in Excel? Import it directly. Want to share your list with a partner? Export it with one click.
Shareable URLs
Every document in the system now has a unique shareable URL. You can send a direct link to a specific invoice, act, or offer to a colleague — they will see that exact document without searching through menus and lists.
Global Keyboard Shortcuts
For users who prefer the keyboard over the mouse, we have added global keyboard shortcuts. Quick record creation, navigation between modules, opening the search — everything is accessible with a shortcut. Press ? for the full list.
Document Preview Modal
You no longer need to open a document in a separate view to see its key information. The new document preview modal shows the essential data — amounts, dates, status, line items — directly from the list view with a single click.
Version 1.6 is a step forward in three key areas: automation through AI, ease of migration, and faster daily workflows. If you have not tried the AI Document Wizard yet, we recommend starting with it — the hours saved will impress you.
