Software for masonry contractors
The customer sees the finished joint; your estimate also needs to explain the removal, access and preparation behind it. Bring the job's commercial details together while your trade tools and judgment handle measurement, specification and construction.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
Removing damaged mortar, protecting adjacent surfaces and arranging access affect the work before a new joint is finished. A quote that describes only repointing may leave the customer unsure what is included.
Brick counts, block quantities, mortar supplies and disposal are not interchangeable. Clear line descriptions and units help distinguish materials supplied from the area or labor being priced.
Weather, access and an underlying defect may interrupt planned work. Keep the original scope and approved changes together so the bill does not depend on a conversation held beside the wall.
How Microtra helps
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Enter your own quantities and saved items in an estimate, distinguishing preparation, masonry work, materials and cleanup. Microtra does not perform masonry takeoffs, wall design or structural calculations; those decisions remain with the appropriate trade tools and professionals.

Compare plansA few useful answers
Microtra does not calculate a masonry takeoff or design a wall. Work out quantities in the appropriate estimating process, then enter the checked quantities, units and descriptions in your business estimate.
Trades & construction uses Job, Client and Properties, with linked records on. Stock starts disabled; enable it in Modules & terms if you want to manage purchased materials by location.
Use different estimate items for raking out, repointing, replacement units and approved access or cleanup. Describe the measurement basis yourself so the customer understands the scope behind the price.
Explain the additional work and prepare an updated commercial scope before proceeding. Keep the revised estimate and job notes together, then bill the work the client actually approved.
