Word vs doing it here
A Word file is ideal if you want full control of the layout, or you already keep your paperwork in Word. The trade-off is that you number and total everything yourself, and you have to remember to export as PDF before sending. The generator on this site does the numbering, the tax math and the PDF for you, free and with no signup.

- What is a schedule of values?
- A breakdown of the contract into phases with a dollar value each, so every draw invoices a percentage of defined work instead of a round number.
- How should change orders be billed?
- Numbered, dated, signed before the work, and invoiced as separate lines. Never absorb them into a draw.
- What is retainage?
- A percentage the owner holds back until completion. Show it as a line on every draw and invoice its release separately.
