How do I estimate custom projects?

Break it down however makes sense, by room, by piece, by phase. Add materials at cost plus markup, add labor at your rate, include finishing and install. The customer sees a professional proposal.

Can I track shop time vs install time?

Separate time tracking for shop work and field work. Know how long fabrication actually takes. Know how long installs run. Price future jobs more accurately.

What about material tracking and waste?

Log materials per project. Track what you estimated vs what you used. Over time, learn your actual waste factors. Price more accurately, protect your margins.

How do deposits and progress payments work?

Request a deposit with the estimate. Bill progress payments when phases complete. Collect final payment on install. All tracked, all documented, all professional.

Can I track progress on custom pieces?

Take photos at every stage, raw materials, work in progress, final piece. Everything stays with the job. Perfect for your portfolio and proving the value of custom craftsmanship.
