Large construction projects can make billing complicated, especially when you want payments to be fair to both you and your customer. A payment application gives you a clear way to show what work and materials are being billed, what has already been paid, and what remains.

Follow along as John walks Gene through preparing the first payment prior to starting a project, including how to separate material and labor and calculate the appropriate payment amount.

Why do some construction projects become a great experience while others turn into a nightmare?

Many of the problems customers face can be traced back to a lack of clarity before construction even begins. Poor communication, low-quality workmanship, and a lack of honesty and integrity can create frustration, unexpected costs, and even legal battles. Understanding these three areas can help you choose the right contractor, ask better questions, and set your project up for a much better outcome.

You’re a contractor, not a bank, so you shouldn’t have to finance your customer’s project while waiting to get paid.

Gene has a signed proposal from Burford’s, but now he needs to figure out how to set up a payment plan. John walks him through the Payment Application, starting with the project information and then entering each item from the proposal.

By breaking the large project price into smaller, clearly defined amounts, you can give your customer a better understanding of what they’re paying for while creating a more consistent payment process for your business.
