How we work — bid to invoice

The full sequence from bid request to closed invoice at NR Building Solutions, including purchase order handling, daily photo reporting, punch and vendor-portal invoicing.

The sequence

  1. Bid request

    Through this site, by phone, or through your work-order platform. Attach whatever already exists — a scope, a unit list, photographs from a walk. We would rather work from your document than make you fill in ours.

  2. Walk or scope review

    For anything at community scale we walk it. For a defined scope on a known unit type we can price from your document. Which one applies is a straight answer, not a sales step.

  3. Bid

    Itemized, per unit, against a written scope definition. Anything outside the standard scope is a separate line rather than absorbed into the number.

  4. Purchase order

    You issue against the accepted bid. Our invoice will match it.

  5. Schedule

    A mobilization window we commit to. If it moves, you hear it from us before you notice it.

  6. Mobilize

    Crews travel to the community and stay. Site conduct standards, agreed hours, and resident notice where the work affects occupied lots.

  7. Daily photo reporting

    Progress against scope, per unit, while the work is happening — not a completion shot at the end.

  8. Punch

    A written list, walked with you or your community manager, closed out with photographs.

  9. Invoice

    Against the purchase order, broken out the way you account, through your vendor portal where you use one.

Purchase orders and vendor-portal invoicing

Two operational details that decide whether working with a contractor is easy or a monthly irritation.

Invoices match the purchase order. Not approximately — line for line, against the accepted bid. Where a change order was raised during the work, it was raised at the time with a photograph, not discovered at invoicing. An invoice that does not reconcile to a PO is a person's afternoon in your office.

We invoice through your vendor portal where you run one. Yardi, RentManager, ServiceChannel, Corrigo and the others our clients use. That means the invoice arrives in your workflow rather than as an email somebody has to enter. See national accounts for how that is set up across a portfolio — and for the precise statement of what platform compatibility does and does not mean.

Change orders happen on the day

A home opened up reveals conditions nobody could price from a walk — a supply line that has been weeping for two years, framing damage behind a wall, a roof leak that tracked somewhere unexpected.

Those get photographed and priced when they surface, not absorbed silently and not saved for the invoice. A change order you see on the day is cheaper for both of us than a surprise at the end, and it lets you decide whether to do the work at all rather than being told it was necessary.

What we commit to

Commitments are written into the agreement rather than published as marketing. See service commitments.

Common questions

Through the forms on this site, by phone, or through whichever work-order platform your portfolio already runs. All three land in the same place, which is the point — a request that arrives in an inbox depends on a person being available.

Yes, and invoices are matched against the PO rather than issued independently. For an operator this is the difference between an invoice that posts and an invoice that starts a reconciliation.

Progress against the scope, per unit, from the crew on site. Not a completion shot at the end — a record while the work is happening, which is what lets a regional manager who never visits approve it.

A written punch list, closed out with photographs, then the invoice. A job we consider finished and you consider unfinished is a failure of the close-out process rather than of the work, and the punch list exists to make that disagreement happen before invoicing rather than after.
