Daywork versus measured work
If pricing by area, show quantity and rate. If working on daywork, record operatives, hours, date and signed sheet.
Do not switch pricing method on the invoice without an agreed variation.
Hidden substrate problems
Loose backgrounds, damp or movement may appear after preparation. Record the condition and obtain approval for repairs beyond the quoted assumption.
Stages
Large packages can be invoiced by floor, plot or completed system. Name the area and show the cumulative value, prior invoices and amount due this period.
Materials under CIS
For subcontract work, keep invoices for board, plaster, beads and other qualifying materials. Labour, overhead and profit are not materials. The CIS materials guide explains the evidence.
VAT and reverse charge
Plastering under a construction subcontract can fall within CIS and may meet the domestic reverse-charge conditions. Check each rule separately and show the cash amount due clearly.
