Answer

Billing for stored materials on a construction project allows contractors to recover the costs of purchasing and storing materials on a job site. It also requires teams to ensure they accurately account for materials received. This includes documenting the trade partners, types of materials, quantities, costs and delivery dates. Because stored materials do not represent completed work, payment applications must be itemized to differentiate between what is installed on a project during a billing period and what is stored for future work. 

Once a contractor receives a payment application payment, stored materials become the client's property and the contractor is responsible for ensuring stored materials are safe. To avoid misunderstandings, ensure the requirements in a project's commitment or main contract are clear about how to bill for stored materials.
