Questions about expenses for architects and engineers
- Can I distinguish included costs from billable disbursements?
- Record the project costs and mark billability according to your agreement. Review the receipt and amount before invoicing. TimeLodge does not decide the contractual or tax treatment of a disbursement.
- Can I bill every site visit cost to the client?
- Check your appointment and any approval requirements first. Record the project cost even when you absorb it so the margin review remains useful.
