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
Quote per phase
You build the quote in phases: demolition, shell, finishing. After approval it becomes a project with stages.
- 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
Hours and progress
Everyone logs hours on the project. Progress photos go in the file and are visible to the customer.
- 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
How does the VAT reverse charge work in TelMaar?
You set the regime to reverse-charged per invoice or per customer. The invoice gets the correct wording and the VAT return processes it automatically.
Can I link purchase invoices to a project?
Yes. You scan or upload the purchase invoice and link it to the job. The margin per project is then immediately visible.
Does it work with subcontractors?
Yes. A subcontractor can work on the job as a user, or you book their invoice as a purchase on the project.
Can the customer follow progress?
Yes, in the customer portal they see photos, signed job sheets and the stage invoices.
