Integrations
Your costs and Xero, finally in sync.
Approved progress claims become Xero invoices automatically. Costs map straight to your chart of accounts. No more re-keying the same numbers between the site and your books.
What syncs between Build Margin and Xero
Progress claims become invoices
Once a progress claim is approved, it sends straight to Xero as an invoice, using your Xero organisation's own tax rate and GST settings — not a rate Build Margin sets.
Cost codes map to your chart of accounts
Set up the mapping once in the cost-mapping editor. Every job after that follows the same rules automatically.
Sync status, always visible
A dedicated connection page shows what has synced, what is pending, and flags anything that needs your attention before it becomes a problem at BAS time.
How the Xero integration works
Stop entering the same numbers twice
Most builders track job costs on site, then re-key the same figures into Xero later — usually right before BAS is due, when there's the least time to double-check anything. Every manual re-entry is a chance for a number to land in the wrong account, or not land at all.
Once your cost codes are mapped, Build Margin keeps the two systems in step automatically — your site team works in Build Margin, your books stay accurate in Xero, and nobody has to remember to do the data entry.
