Submitting invoices

Submit invoices to build.invoices@beamsrenovation.com. The article describes what to include and the timing.

Steps

1. Mark the milestone complete on the platform (with photos and certificates) before you invoice.
2. Email your invoice to build.invoices@beamsrenovation.com with:

• Your dated invoice matching the milestone value in the payment schedule.
• Project ID (the reference assigned to the project).
• Milestone code (Milestone 1 / 2 / 3 / 4, or the custom milestone identifier).
• Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) / Value Added Tax (VAT) details as relevant.
• Required certificates (electrical, gas, building control where applicable).

1. Wait for the customer to approve. The 7-day objection window applies — the article Milestone evidence and approvals covers it.
2. Payment cycle. Approved invoices submitted by midday Thursday pay out by end of day Friday the following week.

Why the Thursday cutoff

Submit by midday Thursday → invoice goes into the Thursday review batch → approved invoices pay the following Friday. Miss the cutoff and your invoice slides into the next batch — a week's delay.

CIS deductions

If you operate under CIS, the deduction is processed once your invoice is verified and paid. Your invoice should clearly show your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR), the CIS deduction, and the net amount after deduction. We'll provide CIS deduction certificates for your records each tax month.

VAT

If you're VAT-registered, add VAT separately to your line totals on the invoice. The milestone values in the payment schedule are exclusive of VAT.

Bank details

All payments are by bank transfer to the account matching your business name. If your bank details change, notify Beams in writing by email only — never by WhatsApp, SMS, or chat. We do this to prevent fraud.
