Software for fence contractors

Put the fence line and the quoted work in the same story.

A side-yard replacement, a driveway gate and a new perimeter fence need different materials and site conversations. Use Microtra to organize the client, property, estimate and installation work, with a clear account of what you measured and what the client approved.

The everyday details

You know the work.
The admin adds up.

Length alone leaves too much unsaid

Height, material, posts, corners and gates change the offer behind a fence line. Describe these choices and separate removal or disposal when included. A client should understand the estimate without having to remember every detail of the site walk.

A boundary question can stop an installation

Record the proposed work area and the assumptions behind the quote. Boundary confirmation, site restrictions and permissions need the appropriate checks outside the app. A line on your estimate should not be presented as a survey or a determination of ownership.

A gate change travels through the job

A different opening or hardware choice can affect material purchasing and labor. Keep the revised agreement close to the estimate before supplies are ordered, so the installation team is not working from a superseded description.

How Microtra helps

Keep the business connected.

Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.

Price the fence as its real components

Build estimate items for fence sections, posts, gates, removal and other work you offer. Enter measured quantities and your own calculations. Microtra does not design a fence, calculate post spacing or generate a specialist material takeoff.

Hold onto the site discussion

Save client and linked property details, using job notes and photos for access, agreed materials and the proposed line. Resolve technical and boundary questions through your professional process instead of treating the business record as proof.

Plan separate installation tasks

Arrange appointments for removal, installation and a return visit where needed. Assign staff and check the day's work against site readiness. You decide the sequence and contact the client when access or conditions require a change.

Keep purchases in the same account

Enter supplier and material costs as expenses with receipt photos. Stock starts off for Trades & construction; enable inventory in Modules & terms before using supplier lists, purchase orders or location counts for fence materials.

Explain progress and completion

Use progress invoices from an estimate where that matches the agreement. Check the completed scope, additions and balance, then share a PDF from your device and record payment received through the method you already use.

A day in the life

From the first quote to paid.

  1. Walk the intended fence line

    Confirm the style, height, gates and removal scope with the client. Identify decisions that must be settled before work, then write an estimate whose descriptions match the proposal rather than only giving a total.

  2. Order against the approved choice

    Review quantities and the selected components before purchasing. Put changes in the job notes and confirm them with the client before an alternative panel or gate reaches the site.

  3. Set the crew's visits

    Create the appointments and assign the people doing the work. Leave clear access and delivery notes, and revise the arrangement directly if the site is not ready for the planned installation.

  4. Reconcile and hand over

    Compare the invoice with the approved work, material records and any agreed additions. Share the checked document, record the payment separately and note any remaining visit instead of describing an incomplete job as finished.

A few useful answers

Questions from fence contractors.

Can I draw a fence layout in Microtra?

No. It provides general estimating, client records, scheduling and invoicing. Prepare drawings and measurements using your chosen method, then enter the reviewed scope and quantities. It does not replace fence design software or a property survey.

What happens when a client changes a gate?

Discuss the effect on materials and work, then update the relevant estimate and job notes before proceeding. Distinct items help explain the approved change on the invoice rather than leaving the difference buried in a total.

Does the fencing setup include property records?

Yes. Trades & construction uses Job, Client and Properties. Keep the business site linked to the client, but use your appropriate surveying, permission and technical documentation processes for questions the general property record cannot resolve.

Can I take a card deposit through the invoice?

Card deposits, card charging and pay links are coming soon. Arrange payment through your existing method and record the amount received. Review the invoice balance separately from the dates you have reserved for installation.
