Contracting Subs

Gordo

Big Dog,

One thing I do when working these T+M jobs is keep the billing current. That is bill every other day so that there is no "Well, I can't remember but I don't think you worked X hrs. last week. Oh, and I don't remember Plumber here 2 weeks ago."

This keeps things fresh, and if the money runs out......you know immediately and aren't stuck with 2 weeks of unpaid labor.

Thanks Gordo
I will take your advice and bill at least every week.
The every two days may not happen, but I will consider that also.

Gordo

Every week is fine with your regulars.

At least submit your billing every other day to keep it fresh.

Are you saying to send updates every other day, and then at end of each week send the weeks bill?

Gordo

Good clients I bill weekly with all the hours, materials, subs, etc.

Shakey people like you are experiencing, I suggest billing them on two day cycle. At the very least, show them the bill every day or two so everything is FRESH in there mind.

BTW, I would only work T+M on wood rot/ damage/unknowns or good clients that need small jobs done.
