Contractor Invoicing FAQs
How do contractors typically invoice?
Contractors often use progress billing (billing at milestones), time and materials billing, or fixed-price contracts. InvoiceBloom supports all methods.
Should I include materials markup?
Yes, it's standard practice to mark up materials 10-20% to cover procurement time and handling. Clearly show materials cost on invoices.
How do I handle change orders?
Document approved changes with a change order number, description, and associated costs. Add as separate line items on your invoice.
What payment terms do contractors use?
Common terms include 50% deposit upfront, progress payments at milestones, and final payment on completion. Net 30 is standard for commercial work.
