Work Order Management and Billing

Problem

The unpredictable nature of construction projects—especially when scope or duration is uncertain—can make it difficult to choose the right billing approach, leading to delays, disputes, and cash flow issues. Without a flexible billing system in place, businesses may struggle to recoup costs or maintain profitability.

Strategy

This webinar continues the Jonas Masterclass series with an in-depth look at Time & Materials (T&M) and Cost-Plus billing models, including when and how to use each effectively. Attendees will see how Jonas Construction Software simplifies billing workflows, ensuring that costs are accurately captured, billed, and tracked in real time.

Results

Viewers will walk away with a clear understanding of the strengths and limitations of T&M and Cost-Plus contracts, and how to leverage them to reduce risk while protecting margins. With Jonas, companies gain the flexibility and tools needed to bill with confidence—no matter how complex the project.

Overview

Every construction project is unique and comes with its own set of challenges and requirements. The long-term duration of jobs coupled with the challenge of establishing a firm estimate can make billing complicated. Because of this, choosing the proper billing styles and practices is essential to ensure that you get paid accurately and on time.

Two of the more flexible contract types are Time and Materials (T&M) and Cost-Plus. When the scope of work or duration of a project is difficult to determine, T&M and Cost-Plus billing can help reduce risks and ensure your costs are covered, while also ensuring that you’re making a profit.

Whether you’re using Cost-Plus or T&M billing, Jonas Construction Software has you covered. Our software is designed to help construction and service companies streamline their billing process.

In the next installment of the Jonas Masterclass series, we’ll be discussing how these contract types differ as well as the pros and cons of each.

Join us on Thursday, November 3rd, for a detailed overview of T&M and Cost-Plus contracts, and how Jonas enables you to easily track, create, and manage your billings.
