Bill a project
the way you ran it

Raise a resource-itemised project bill — bill number and date, project, party and address, notes and amount — with lines by task and resource group, code and name, quantity, unit and rate. Because the lines are keyed to tasks and resources, you can bill by project, by resource or by milestone. Progress and RA bills, subcontractor bill passing against a PO, and a printable PDF close the loop — cloud or on-premise, for project businesses worldwide.

How it works

From consumed resources to a
printed, milestone bill

Billing is not a fresh spreadsheet — it is built from the resources a project consumed, keyed to its tasks. The Bill of Resources and the Resource master supply the lines and the rates; the bill assembles them by stage.

Open a bill header
Create the bill number and date, pick the project and the party, and add address and notes
Add resource lines
Pull lines by task and resource — group, code, name, quantity, unit and rate
Pick the scope
Bill the whole project, a single resource group, or a defined milestone stage
Set progress / RA
Record the invoice date and type for a running-account or progress bill against the project
Print & hand off
Produce the printable PDF bill and hand it off to Fast Billing and accounts
01 — Resource-Itemised Project Bill

A bill built from the
work, line by line

A project bill starts with a header — a bill number and date, the project, the party code, name and address, notes and the amount — and carries resource-itemised lines beneath it. Each line names its task, the resource group, code and name, a quantity, a unit, a rate and an amount. Because the resource and its rate come straight from the Resource master and the quantity from the task's Bill of Resources, the bill is a direct, itemised reflection of what the project consumed — not a lump sum a client has to take on trust.

Bill the whole job,
or one stage of it

Not every project is billed in one shot. Because bill lines are keyed to tasks and resources, the same data supports three ways of billing: the whole project at once, a single resource group across the project, or a defined milestone — a stage or portion of the work. Milestone billing is what lets you bill a foundation stage, a fabrication stage and a commissioning stage separately, each a resource-itemised bill in its own right, without ever re-entering the numbers.

03 — Progress & RA Billing

Running-account bills,
tracked as they go

Long projects get paid in instalments, not on completion. Progress and running-account (RA) billing raises successive bills against one project, each recorded through the bill-delivery and bill-receipt entries with its own invoice date and type. That gives you a tracked history of what has been billed, what has been received, and what is still to come — the RA discipline that construction, EPC and long fabrication jobs run on, with alerts on billing events available through WhatsApp, email and SMS.

04 — Subcontractor Bill Passing & Printable Bill

Bills out, bills in —
and a document to print

A project owes money out as well as billing it in. Subcontractor and supplier bills are passed against the purchase order they relate to, with a clearance step and a supplier-bill report, so incoming bills are checked and cleared against the PO before payment. And every outgoing project bill produces a printable, PDF-ready document carrying party details, notes and totals. The finished bill hands off to Fast Billing and accounts, so project bills sit alongside the rest of the organisation's invoicing on one platform.

Everything project & milestone billing covers

Project Bill Header

A bill number and date, the project, party code, name and address, notes and amount — the head that every itemised line rolls up to.

Resource-Itemised Lines

Lines by task and resource group, code and name, with quantity, unit, rate and amount — an itemised reflection of the work.

By Project / Resource / Milestone

The same lines billed three ways — the whole project, a single resource group, or a defined milestone stage.

Progress / RA Billing

Successive running-account bills against one project, each with its own invoice date and type on delivery and receipt.

Subcontractor Bill Passing

Subcontractor and supplier bills passed against the purchase order they relate to, before they are cleared for payment.

Supplier Bill Clearance

A clearance step and supplier-bill report, so incoming bills are checked and cleared against the PO, not paid on sight.

Printable / PDF Bill

Every project bill produced as a printable, PDF-ready document with party details, notes and totals for the client.

Shared Party Master

The bill-to customer comes from the same party master as the rest of the platform, so names and addresses stay consistent.

Hand-off to Fast Billing

Finished project bills post alongside the platform's invoicing in Fast Billing and accounts — one system, not two ledgers.

"Our clients stopped querying the invoice. Every bill is itemised by task and resource, tied to the milestone we're claiming — so a progress bill is a document they can check, not argue with."

Why resource-itemised billing

Lump-sum invoice vs. Fast Project billing

A lump-sum invoice invites a query; an itemised, milestone bill answers it. Learn the discipline in milestone and progress billing for construction.

Common questions

Project & milestone billing FAQs

How do I raise a project bill?

You raise a project bill header — a bill number and date, the project, the party (customer) code, name and address, notes and the amount — and add resource-itemised lines under it. Each line carries a task, a resource group, code and name, a quantity, a unit, a rate and an amount. Because the lines are keyed to tasks and resources, one bill can be built by project, by resource or by a defined milestone, and the header total rolls up from the lines.

Can I bill by milestone or raise progress and RA bills?

Yes. Milestone billing raises a bill for a defined stage or portion of the work rather than the whole project at once, built from the same resource-itemised lines keyed to tasks. Progress and running-account (RA) billing is supported through the bill-delivery and bill-receipt entries, each carrying its own invoice date and type, so successive progress bills against one project stay tracked and reconciled.

Does it handle subcontractor and supplier bill passing?

Yes. Subcontractor and supplier bills are passed against the purchase order they relate to, with a clearance step and a supplier-bill report, so incoming bills are checked and cleared against the PO before they are paid. That closes the loop between what a project owes out to subcontractors and suppliers and what it bills its own customer.

What appears on a project bill line?

A bill line names the task it belongs to, the resource group, code and name, the quantity and unit, the rate and the line amount. Because the resource and its rate come from the Resource master and the quantity from the task's Bill of Resources, the bill is a direct, itemised reflection of the resources consumed — not a single lump-sum figure a client has to take on trust.

Can the bill be printed or exported as a PDF?

Yes. Every project bill can be produced as a printable, PDF-ready document from the bill header and its resource-itemised lines, carrying the party details, notes and totals. The finished bill hands off to Fast Billing and accounts, so the project bill sits alongside the rest of the organisation's invoicing on the same platform.
