📈 Construction ERP · Progress billing
Progress billing ERP turns measured work, approved variations, materials at site and price escalation into accurate RA bills. It tracks client certification and payment, and shows whether you're over- or under-billed against the work done.
Slide each BOQ line to its progress to date. Add the approved variation and materials at site; escalation comes from the calculator further down. The abstract on the right updates line by line. Example project and rates.
TDS 2% and labour cess 1% are common rates; check your contract and current rules.
Automate my RA billsSwitch models to see how billing (solid line) tracks the work done (dashed line). The shaded gap is cash earned but not yet billed. Example 12-month project.
Every day a bill waits is cash you don't have. Switch to see how digital measurements and online certification shorten the cycle. Example timings.
For each component: value of work × weight × (current index − base index) ÷ base index. Move the current index to match the period being billed. 15% is a fixed, non-adjustable share. Example weights and indices.
Compare what you've billed with what you've earned, based on cost to date against the estimated total cost. The beam tips toward the problem. Use your own figures.
Earned revenue uses the cost-to-cost method: cost to date ÷ estimated total cost × contract value.

Progress billing means billing the client in stages as work is done, instead of once at the end. Each bill covers work completed in the period, usually measured against the BOQ or a schedule of values, so cash comes in while the project is running.
A running account (RA) bill is an interim bill for work done to date, less everything billed before. It lists BOQ items with previous, current and cumulative quantities, plus extra items, materials at site and escalation, followed by deductions.
Add up work done to date, approved extra items, the advance on materials at site and escalation. Take away retention and what was certified in earlier bills to get this bill's gross, then apply deductions such as advance recovery, TDS and labour cess.
They're the AIA pay application forms widely used in the US. G703 is the schedule of values with work completed, stored materials and retainage for each line; G702 summarises the contract sum, retainage, previous certificates and the current payment due.
Many contracts adjust the price for inflation with a formula. For each component, escalation is the value of work × the component's weight × (current index − base index) ÷ base index, using published indices such as WPI or CPI. The exact clause depends on your contract, for example CPWD or FIDIC conditions.
It's an advance the client pays against materials brought to site but not yet used, often a set share such as 75% of their value. It is recovered from later bills as the materials are built into the work.
Typical deductions are retention, recovery of mobilisation and secured advances, income tax TDS (often 2%), labour cess (often 1% under the building workers' welfare law) and, for government clients, GST TDS. Your contract and current rules decide the exact list and rates.
Compare what you've billed with what you've earned based on progress. If you've billed more than earned, you're over-billed, which is a liability. If you've earned more than billed, you're under-billed, which means cash you could have claimed.
Usually 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the number of projects, contract types and integrations. This is an estimate.
