Typical invoice line items in carpentry
Timber invoices combine cubic-meter and square-meter items (cutting, insulation, battens) with flat rates for crane and assembly. Bill larger projects in progress invoices by construction stage, and show the labor share separately for private clients — it may be tax-deductible.
E-invoicing & public contracts
Municipal building yards, schools and daycare centers increasingly tender timber work with e-invoicing requirements (XRechnung). DasHandwerk.xhub generates it automatically — no add-on module.
