# How Do I Connect Construction Progress to Payment Milestones?

You connect progress to payment by structuring milestones as records tied to specific completed work, triggering billing only once that work is actually verified. On **Jestor**, this runs through **Gestão de Obras** with milestone-connected billing.

Payment milestones tracked separately from actual site progress risk a payment being triggered before the corresponding work is genuinely complete, or a completed milestone going unbilled.

## What disconnected progress and payment tracking cost

- Payment triggered before the corresponding work is actually verified complete
- A genuinely completed milestone going unbilled because no one connected the two
- No structured record showing what was actually finished before payment released
- Disputes with clients or financiers over whether a milestone was truly achieved

## How connecting progress to payment milestones works

- Each payment **milestone** connects to the specific work required for completion
- Marking that work verified triggers the corresponding billing event
- The connected record documents what was actually completed before payment
- This creates an auditable link between physical progress and financial milestones

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- The connected structure ensures payment reflects genuinely verified progress
- This reduces disputes over whether a milestone was actually achieved
- No completed milestone goes unbilled, since the connection triggers billing directly
- This scales from a single project to a portfolio of milestone-billed developments

| Disconnected progress and payment   | Milestone-connected billing    |

| Risk of premature or missed billing | Triggered by verified progress |
