Milestone Billing

A billing schedule tied to specific defined project events instead of monthly percentages.

Instead of monthly progress billing, milestone billing invoices at defined points: deposit, mobilization, demolition complete, rough-in complete, drywall complete, substantial completion, final. Common in residential remodel where each phase is a clear milestone. Easier for the owner to understand than percent-complete; harder to align with mid-month cash flow needs.
