Issue Progress Claims
Last updated: 13 July 2026
On construction work you rarely bill everything at the end — you claim progressively as each stage completes. A Progress Claim is an invoice for part of a job, measured against the contract value. BuildTrack keeps a running total of what’s been claimed, paid and still outstanding so you never over-claim or lose track of what a customer owes.
Before you start
You’ll need a job with a contract value. If you started from a quotation, that value carries across when you convert the quotation to a job. Otherwise, set the contract value on the job first.
Raise a Progress Claim
Open the job and create an invoice
From the job, start a new invoice — this becomes the Progress Claim for the current stage.
Enter what you’re claiming
Claim by completed stage or percentage of the contract. The amount is measured against the total contract value.
Apply SST and any retention
SST rolls into the total; record retention so the net payable reflects what’s due this stage.
Send it to the customer
Issue the claim and send it, the same way you send an invoice.
Track claimed, paid and outstanding
As claims go out and payments come in, the job and invoice views show what’s been claimed, paid and outstanding in MYR. Use this to chase overdue amounts and see each job’s billing position without adding it up by hand.
