Why it's laid out like that
The lines follow how the job was actually priced: days of skilled fitting labour, timber and sheet materials, and ironmongery such as hinges, handles and runners. Each part is separately checkable, which is the whole point — a customer who can verify the bill pays it.
On completion for fitting work. For bespoke joinery, take a deposit covering materials and workshop time before you start cutting.
Common questions
- Should a carpenter charge per day or per item?
- Per item for repeatable work such as hanging doors, and per day for fitting that depends on how square the building is. Many invoices sensibly contain both.
- How do I invoice for bespoke joinery made off site?
- Show workshop manufacture as its own line separate from on-site fitting, and take a deposit that covers your materials before cutting starts.
- Who pays for ironmongery the customer chose?
- Whoever supplied it. If you bought it, invoice it as its own line at the price you are charging; if they supplied it, note that on the invoice.
