Small contractors

From quote to handover, with stages and subcontractors

A contractor switches between quotes, scheduling, purchasing and invoices. A dormer, an extension, a three-week renovation: every project has its own materials, its own people and its own stages. And with business customers VAT is often reverse-charged.

TelMaar tracks per project what was planned, worked, purchased and invoiced. Purchase invoices from the wholesaler you link to the job, so you see the margin. Stage invoices go out the moment a phase is done, and the VAT reverse charge is on them automatically.

Does your crew work in several languages? Everyone sees the schedule and logs their hours in their own language. The customer gets everything in Dutch.

How a project runs for a contractor

  1. 1

    Quote per phase

    You build the quote in phases: demolition, shell, finishing. After approval it becomes a project with stages.

  2. 2

    Schedule and purchase

    The crew is on the planning board, the materials you order from the wholesaler. The purchase invoice you link to the project.

  3. 3

    Hours and progress

    Everyone logs hours on the project. Progress photos go in the file and are visible to the customer.

  4. 4

    Stages and handover

    Per finished phase a stage invoice, with VAT reverse-charged where it belongs. At handover the customer signs and the final settlement follows.

  • Stage invoices per phase

    Invoice what is done. TelMaar tracks what has been paid and what is still open at handover.

  • VAT reverse-charged, automatically

    For business customers you set the VAT regime to reverse-charged; the invoice and the return do the rest.

  • Purchase against sale

    Purchase invoices hang on the project. You see per project whether your margin holds before it is too late.

Frequently asked in this trade

Can the customer follow progress?

Yes, in the customer portal they see photos, signed job sheets and the stage invoices.
