Progress Claims for Contractors in Singapore

Construction and renovation contractors in Singapore typically invoice through progress claims -- partial invoices tied to milestones or percentage of completion. Each progress claim shows the total contract value, amounts previously claimed, the current claim amount, and the retention sum withheld by the main contractor or client.

Retention is typically 5% to 10% of each progress claim, held back until practical completion or the defects liability period ends. This generator calculates retention automatically when you use the progress claim calculator above.

What Is a Variation Order Invoice?

A variation order (VO) invoice is issued when work beyond the original contract scope is performed. Always get written approval for variation work before issuing a VO invoice. Reference the original contract number and the approved variation order number on the invoice.

On the invoice, add a separate line item for each variation order, with the VO reference number in the description. This keeps the original contract billing separate from variation work and makes it easier for the client's accounts team to process.
