Protecting Cash Flow with Milestone Billing
Never front high-ticket materials or crew payroll out of your personal pocket. Requiring an upfront deposit before reserving calendar dates ensures projects are fully funded from day one.
Standard Residential Milestone Framework
| Milestone Stage | Percent Due | Trigger Event & Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit / Booking | 50% | Required upon contract signing to lock calendar date and purchase materials. |
| Rough-In Progress | 40% | Due upon completion of framing, plumbing/electrical rough-in, or major mechanical milestone. |
| Final Completion | 10% | Due upon final walkthrough, punch-list sign-off, and delivery of lien waiver. |
Calendar Gating: Jobs can be configured to require the initial 50% deposit before dates are confirmed on the master crew dispatch schedule.
