Bill from the signed contract sum
The breakdown you bill from and the sum you signed are the same object, with no re-keyed workbook that drifts.

The $4,850,000.00 head-contract sum broken into the billable schedule-of-values lines the client is claimed against, each mapped to cost codes and seeded from the won estimate. Lines total equals the contract sum to the cent, and the baseline is frozen — every progress claim bills against these locked lines, period by period.

The breakdown you bill from and the sum you signed are the same object, with no re-keyed workbook that drifts.
Snapshot the schedule from your estimate as a point-in-time copy, so later estimate changes don't move your contract sum.
Lock the contract sum through a deliberate ceremony, so every claim is measured against an agreed figure.
Break down the contract sum, adjust the lines, then freeze the baseline you bill against.

The SOV is the sell-side foundation your progress claims draw on from day one.
Where the budget breaks down what the job costs you, the SOV breaks down what you bill the client, and both can be seeded from the same won estimate. Once the SOV baseline is frozen, it becomes the agreed figure your progress claims bill against, completing the Win-to-Pay line from first price to every claim you raise.
