At a glance

  • State each unit clearly: labour hours and material pieces have different rates.
  • Excel calculates entered quantities and rates, then deducts the recorded advance.
  • Progress billing, retention and certification need a separate contract-specific record.

Invoice the supported work

This file is a time-and-materials example. It does not certify measurements, approve variations or establish that a project milestone has been accepted.

Reconcile labour, materials and the advance

The example records INR 7,800 labour and INR 5,000 materials, totaling INR 12,800. Deducting the recorded INR 3,000 advance leaves INR 9,800.

When progress billing needs a different model

A progress bill may need cumulative completed value, prior certificates, retention and contract-specific adjustments. Those fields require a reviewed model. Do not improvise them by changing the final total in this time-and-materials file.

Edit the time-and-materials bill

The Excel Blank sheet has ten charge rows and a separate advance deduction. Keep hours or pieces in each description and preserve the amount formulas. Word permits manual editing; the PDFs are fixed examples and blank forms. Check the job records and print layout before issuing.

Estimate, BOQ, work certificate or invoice?

RecordWhat it records
EstimateA proposed price for a stated scope.
Bill of quantities (BOQ)Item descriptions, quantities and rates used for the project.

InvoiceThe work and amounts being billed.

This download provides the invoice. It does not approve a BOQ or certify completed work.

Common questions

Does this calculate retention or certify a BOQ?

No. It calculates entered quantities and rates plus the stated advance deduction. A measured-work or contract-certification process is separate.

Can I list labour and materials with different units?

Yes. Put the unit in the description so a number of hours is not confused with a number of supplied pieces.
