Why Contractors Choose Evolvv

Contractors need precise tracking. This template allows you to itemize materials and labor clearly, ensuring transparency and easier tax management.

Labor vs Material Itemization

Distinctly list 'Material Supply' (Goods) and 'Labor Charges' (Services) as separate line items. This ensures you can apply the correct HSN/SAC codes for GST compliance.

Progress Billing

Manage long-term projects by issuing partial invoices against a total Estimate. Convert your initial 'Order Form' (Estimate) into multiple invoices as work completes.

Defect Liability & Warranty Terms

Include specific terms regarding the warranty period directly on the invoice using our Terms Templates. Set clear expectations to protect against future disputes.

Estimate to Invoice Conversion

Create detailed cost estimates (Order Forms) for clients to approve, and convert them into final tax invoices with a single click once the work is completed.

Retention & Adjustments

Handle 'Retention Money' or 'Site Expenses' easily. Use the 'Additional Charges' section to add negative values (deductions) or extra costs to the final bill.

Site & Reference Tracking

Add a dedicated Reference Number (e.g., MB Number or PO Number) to every invoice, making your billing compliant with corporate tender auditing standards.

Step-by-Step Guide

How to Create a Professional Contractor Invoice

Billing correctly is crucial for getting paid on time. Follow these 4 simple steps to create a perfect invoice in minutes.

1

Create an Estimate

Start by sending an Order Form (Quote) to your client listing the full scope of work and costs.

2

Itemize Costs

Separate 'Cement/Sand' (Material) from 'Masonry Work' (Labor) to keep tax codes clear.

3

Convert to Invoice

When a milestone is reached, convert the Estimate to an Invoice. Add the Site Location in the address fields.

4

Apply Retention

If the client holds 5%, simply add a 'Retention' line in 'Additional Charges' with a negative amount.
