Claim the stage that is actually done
Raise the progress claim from the accepted quote, numbered in sequence, GST on every line. Not a spreadsheet rebuilt each month, and not one lump at the end.
Progress claims Australia
The frame is up, or the house is handed over, and the claim is still sitting. Raise it from the accepted quote, hold retention, and work overdue from a list. You should not be the bank between stages.

Who it is for
Australian builders who fund the client between stages.
The house is handed over, or the frame is up, and the claim is still sitting. You need the stage billed, the retention held, and a list of what is overdue, on the same record as the job.
What gets the claim paid
02
Hold retention on the same contract
Hold and release retention per claim. Subbie claims follow the same register: submitted, certified, paid, so you are not the bank in the dark.
03
Chase overdue from a queue
Overdue invoices flag themselves. Send a Stripe Pay Now link so the client can pay from their phone. What you're owed and the next 30 days of cash sit on the dashboard.
The quote becomes the claim
An accepted quote seeds the job and flows into the invoice. You claim the stage against that contract. The command centre puts what is still outstanding at the top of today's work, largest overdue first.
- Progress claims on the invoice, not a separate tool
- Subbie claims certified on the same job
- Owed, overdue and cash by week, 30 to 90 days out

Straight answers.
Does Footing do progress claims for Australian builders?
Yes. Claim by stage against the contract from the accepted quote, with GST on every line and sequential tax-invoice numbering. Retention sits on the same job. It is not a standalone claims portal bolted onto a job-card app.
Can clients pay the claim from their phone?
Every invoice can carry a Stripe Pay Now link, so the client pays from their phone. It needs a connected Stripe account, which takes a couple of minutes to set up. With Xero connected, the invoice syncs across and the payment lands back on the job.
What happens when a claim sits unpaid?
Overdue invoices flag themselves, so you work from a queue instead of a folder. The command centre puts overdue money first, largest first, with what you're owed and the next 30 days of cash on the same screen.
Can I hold retention and certify subbie claims too?
Yes. Head-contract progress claims and subbie claims live on the same job. Retention is held per claim and per work order. You can see the pay-when-paid gap when you have paid a subbie the client has not paid you for.
Do I need a separate tool just for claims?
No. Progress claims sit on the invoice, on the same job as costing, work orders and the client link. You are not exporting a spreadsheet into another product to get paid.
