Frequently Asked Questions

How does progress billing work for construction?
Progress billing invoices show the percentage of work completed, the total contract amount, amounts previously billed, retainage held, and the current amount due. Each invoice builds on the last so the client sees cumulative progress.
Should I separate materials and labor on construction invoices?
Yes. Separating materials and labor is standard practice. It helps clients understand costs, satisfies lien-waiver requirements in many states, and simplifies your tax deductions.
How do I invoice for change orders?
Reference the signed change order number, describe the additional work, and list the cost on a separate line. This creates a clear audit trail tied to an approved scope change.
What is retainage and how should it appear on my invoice?
Retainage is typically 5-10% withheld from each progress payment until the project is complete. Show it as a deduction line on each invoice and track the cumulative retainage balance across billing cycles.
