Framing, decks, pergolas and fit-outs: quote the job in stages, have the customer sign each one off in their portal, and raise the invoice for that section the moment it’s done.
Invite-only while we onboard our first builders. No lock-in.
Chippies carry the timber and hardware bill up front, then span a job over days or weeks — and the payment usually waits until the very last board is fixed.
Framing timber, sheet goods and fixings are paid for by you well before the client settles. Staging the job lets you bill the first section as soon as it’s signed off instead of carrying the whole outlay to handover.
A deck or a fit-out runs across substructure, decking and finishing. Each stage is invoiced as you complete it, not all at handover.
On bespoke joinery and fit-outs, clients hesitate to commit to work they can’t yet picture. A staged quote they can see, with each stage approved in their portal before it’s invoiced, gives them something concrete to say yes to.
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.
Each stage has its own scope, its own sign-off and its own invoice. Here’s how a typical job breaks down.

Yes — bespoke work is where scope drifts and clients hesitate. Pricing it as stages, with the client approving each one in their portal before it’s invoiced, keeps the scope explicit and gives you something to bill against long before handover.
Yes — a repair is just a single-stage job, and it still gets a quote, photos and a GST invoice. Milestone tracking earns its keep on decks, pergolas, framing and fit-outs, where the job runs over days and waiting until the end to bill anything hurts.
No. Stagex does not hold customer funds and is not licensed to. Your client pays you directly. Stagex tracks each stage through to sign-off, raises the invoice for it immediately, and records what’s been paid against the job.
