of AP TimeFounded in St. Petersburg, Florida, PJB Construction is a residential construction company created by Paul and Marla Bissett after recognizing a shortage of quality contractors in their community. The business grew quickly, especially as hurricanes created urgent demand for rebuilding. Today, PJB Construction manages complex projects ranging from remodels and additions to outdoor living spaces and roofs, all with a focus on craftsmanship, integrity, and client care.
For Marla and Paul, integrity has always meant more than project completion. It’s about paying subcontractors quickly, maintaining loyalty in a competitive labor market, and ensuring visibility into project costs so the business can continue to scale.
As PJB Construction took on more projects, their accounts payable process became a bottleneck. Payments were made through handwritten checks, often requiring tradespeople to pick them up in person. Reconciling payments to specific jobs and projects was time-consuming, forcing Marla to spend hours each week auditing checks and tracking costs.
The stakes were high. Subcontractor loyalty — and the ability to secure skilled labor in a competitive market — depended on fast, dependable payments.
PJB Construction turned to MakersHub to streamline their AP operations without sacrificing the trust they’d built with subcontractors. Bills are now digitized and captured centrally, with approvals and coding managed inside one platform.
