Questions
What MEP and specialist contractors ask about back-to-back billing.
Can one main item map to several subcontract items?
Yes. RCC can map to a shuttering item in sqm and a concreting item in cum, each with its own unit and rate.
Do subcontractors see our client rates?
No. A subcontractor sees only their own items, quantities and rates, and only if you share their bill with them.
Can a subcontractor bill differ from the client bill?
Yes. Pay a subcontractor on measured quantity even while the client holds a line, or hold their line until the client certifies.
Which plan includes subcontractor billing?
Enterprise. Talk to us about the number of subcontractors and work orders you run.
