Renovations, extensions and staged builds: agree the milestones up front, capture the client’s sign-off in their portal as each one lands, and raise the progress invoice for that stage immediately — with the photos and dates already attached.
Invite-only while we onboard our first builders. No lock-in.
A progress claim is a request the client still has to pay. On a reno or extension, one slow or short payment mid-build can stall the whole job — and your cash flow.
You issue the claim and hope it’s paid in full and on time. A stage the client has already approved in their own portal, with dated photos behind it, is a claim that has been agreed rather than one you have to argue from scratch.
You’re funding materials and subbies to keep momentum, and a late mid-build payment slips everything downstream. Staged invoicing means each completed stage is billed the day it’s approved rather than rolled into the next claim.
Deposits and progress payments make homeowners anxious. Giving them a portal where they see each stage, review the evidence and approve it before you invoice takes most of that anxiety out — and that certainty helps you win the job.
The fix
Scope and price the job, schedule the crew, capture the evidence on site, and raise the GST tax invoice from the same record the moment your client signs the stage off. Stagex does not collect or hold your customer's money — they pay you directly. See what works today.

The claim is the same document — what changes is everything behind it. The stage was scoped and priced in the quote, the client approved the completed work in their portal, and the invoice is generated straight off that approval with the photos and timestamps attached. Less to assemble, less to argue about.
No — those statutory rights are yours by law and Stagex sits alongside them. What Stagex gives you is the contemporaneous record any payment claim runs on: agreed scope, sign-off dates, photos and invoices, all on the job. Our Security of Payment Act guide explains how the two fit together.
No. Stagex is jobs, quotes, staged milestones, site evidence and invoicing — deliberately lean, not a heavy project or inventory platform. It suits renovation and small-build work where scope, sign-off and getting the invoice out on time are the real risks.
No. Stagex does not receive, hold or release client funds and is not licensed to. Your client pays you directly for each stage. Stagex’s job is the record around it: the agreed staged scope, the sign-off, the invoice, and the evidence behind each one.
