Line-item billing
Break out materials, paint, and supervision labor with quantities, unit costs, and subtotal rows so reviewers can see exact charges and verify calculations quickly.

Break out materials, paint, and supervision labor with quantities, unit costs, and subtotal rows so reviewers can see exact charges and verify calculations quickly.
Allow inline photo or file attachments that document completed work and condition at inspection points, providing context for supervision charges and clarifying scope discrepancies.
