What belongs in the renovation work report
On renovations the report documents per day: active trades, work done, photos and findings in the existing fabric (damp, hazardous materials, decayed pipes). Record hidden defects immediately and notify the owner — the documented finding is the basis for a clean change order.
E-invoicing & public contracts
Renovations of municipal housing and public buildings require XRechnung — DasHandwerk.xhub generates it automatically from your normal invoice.
