Défis de paiement auxquels Entrepreneurs Généraux font face

Les ordres de changement pendant la construction ajoutent des coûts difficiles à recouvrer rétroactivement

Les paiements de retenue finale sont retardés par des litiges sur la liste de vérification qui peuvent s'étendre sur des semaines après l'achèvement substantiel

Gérer les calendriers de paiement sur plusieurs projets simultanés submerge les systèmes de facturation manuels

Why Contractors Go Cash-Negative on Every Project Without Milestone Billing

General contracting has the most severe

cash flow timing mismatch of any service industry. Materials for a kitchen renovation, cabinets, countertops, fixtures, flooring, might total $15,000–$30,000 and require payment 2–4 weeks before installation. Subcontractors for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC expect payment within 30 days of completing their scope. If the contractor is collecting only a deposit at signing and final payment at completion, they're financing the entire project from working capital, turning every job into a negative cash flow event until the final check clears.

Progress payments tied to construction milestones

solve this by aligning client payments with the contractor's cash needs. When the framing milestone payment covers the material cost for the next phase and the rough-in payment covers subcontractor invoices, the project maintains neutral-to-positive cash flow throughout the build. This alignment isn't just good financial management, it's what allows contractors to run multiple projects simultaneously without maxing out lines of credit.

Change order management

the profitability lever that separates successful contracting businesses from struggling ones. Renovation projects routinely generate change orders that represent 15–25% of the original contract value. When these changes are documented, priced, approved, and collected in real-time, they contribute to profitability. When they're absorbed during construction and presented as a lump sum at the end, they create disputes that delay final payment and damage the client relationship.

Why Contractors Need Progress Payments Aligned with Construction Milestones

Contracting involves massive upfront costs, materials

permits, subcontractor mobilization, that must be paid before the client sees finished work. Without progress payments aligned to construction milestones, contractors finance every project from working capital, creating cash flow crises that compound across concurrent jobs. Milestone billing ensures client payments arrive when material and labor costs are due.

Change orders represent significant revenue that's

commonly lost to poor billing practices. When scope additions are documented and billed at the time of approval rather than rolled into the final invoice, the contractor captures the full value of the work and the client understands exactly what they're paying for at each stage.

When this isn't for you

This is not for you if your jobs are dispatched same-day with rotating crew assignments, field service software (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro) handles that better. General Contractors who pre-schedule estimates and consultations see the most value. Skip if 80%+ of your bookings are same-day urgent calls.
