Common Demolition Invoicing Mistakes

Real pain, simple fixes, and clear wording that keep payments smooth and disputes rare.

Mistake

How to fix it

Bundling labor, equipment, and dump fees into one total hides costs and drives disputes.

Break them into separate lines with units and rates so clients can approve each part. Use consistent units across the invoice.

Skipping a site description and measured quantities makes scope fuzzy and triggers change fights.

State what is removed and where, with square feet, linear feet, cubic yards, thickness, or tonnage as needed.

Include disposal facility name, load tickets, and manifest or receipt numbers, and check local rules.

Record the deposit on its own line and later show it as a credit against the final total.

Using vague units like “load” or “area” blocks approvals and invites haggling.

Use clear units such as ton, cubic yard, square foot, or linear foot, and tie each to a count.

Misapplying tax on services, rentals, or dump fees causes underpayment or overpayment.

Apply tax by item type per current rules and show the tax basis for each applicable item, then check local rules.
