Have You Ever Forgotten to Bill for Extra Work?

• 03 June 2022

In heavy construction, it’s common place for company leaders, from owners to project managers, to identify additional extra billing opportunities whenever they visit job sites. Their uncanny ability to recognize these extras is enhanced by their inherent understanding of the underlying contract. Unfortunately, the ultimate conversion of that enlightenment into actual billings is reliant upon a very weak next step, which is simply telling the Foreman to “make sure you document that!”. Now, whether that ever happens is akin to asking “If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Sure you could personally follow up, but you probably won’t.

Introducing Vizzn Extra Billings (VEB), the only sure fire way to avoid giving away freebies.

With VEB, you can still ask the Foreman to document the extra and hopefully they will do so using VEB, but Vizzn’s value is magnified when you also use your own phone to quickly take a Vizzn photo. Your photo will be automatically placed onto the same electronic drawings that all of your PMs and PCs are already using for billing purposes, thus making it impossible for your team to not bill it. VEB also shows the direction your camera was facing when you took the photo plus any notes you added at that time. The photo will be geo-stamped and date stamped to ensure your claim is ultimately collected without a hitch.

Armed with VEB, your company can take the pledge, “No extra billings left behind!”

Vizzn Extra Billings software is relied on equally by construction companies as small as 8 people as well as by large companies with more than 500 people; they are all realizing this tool is likely to pay Vizzn’s annual subscription in its first week of implementation.
