Invoicing for carpenters

Custom builds and fit-outs bill cleanly when labour and materials are separate β€” list your hours, add timber and hardware, and take a deposit so the balance due updates itself. Send a quote while pricing the job, then invoice when it is done. Free and private.

Typical carpentry line items

Frequently asked questions

Should I separate labour from timber and materials?

Yes β€” list labour by the hour or day on one line and timber, sheet goods, and hardware on another. Custom builds read more clearly this way, and clients can see that material costs are passed on rather than marked into your rate.

How do I take a deposit on a custom build?

Enter the deposit in the deposit field and the balance due updates automatically. For custom joinery it is common to take a deposit to cover materials upfront, then bill the remainder (or progress payments) as the work is completed.

How do I quote a job before invoicing it?

Build the document with your line items, then set the document type to Quote while you are pricing. Once the client approves, switch the same document to Invoice β€” the items and totals carry over, so you do not re-enter anything.
