Resurfacing and replacement are different promises
Removal, base preparation and the finished surface should not be blurred into a single paving description. The client needs to understand the project being priced before equipment is arranged.
Software for paving contractors
Bring the paving scope and the project costs together.
Whether the old surface stays or comes out changes the project the client is buying. Keep measured work, site commitments and billing connected while your engineering, survey and production processes determine the pavement itself.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
The site window depends on more than your crew
Traffic arrangements, site access and material coordination can affect attendance. A start in the diary needs a practical handoff with the property contact and the other parties involved.
Material and equipment costs arrive in different records
Supplier receipts, haulage and rental costs may reach the office after the work is complete. Match them to the project before judging the result from its invoice total.
An extra area changes the commercial scope
A request to extend the surface or include another repair can add preparation and handling. Record the approval and revised quantities rather than relying on a marked spot and an informal conversation.
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.
Describe the priced work by stage
Enter your own checked quantities and units for preparation, materials, placement and finishing. Microtra does not perform pavement design, engineering calculations or digital takeoffs; use appropriate specialists and tools before preparing the business estimate.
Explore this featureCoordinate the attendance you agree
Create job tasks, status and scheduled appointments with assigned staff. Keep administrative notes for site readiness and return work, updating the schedule manually when conditions change the planned sequence.
Explore this featureFind the right site contact
Use client contacts, billing preferences and linked property records to distinguish the account from the working location. Save practical access and authorization details so a crew query reaches the correct person.
Explore this featureReview the cost behind the surface
Record receipts for materials, transport, equipment and disposal as business expenses. Compare approved project income with recorded costs and outstanding invoices instead of treating completed surfacing as money already received.
Explore this featureBring crew hours into the closeout
Use timers or manual entries linked to staff, work and tasks. Review the recorded effort alongside the commercial arrangement before preparing a time-and-materials invoice or evaluating the next similar project.
Explore this featureA day in the life
From the first quote to paid.
Establish the professional project basis
Survey and specify the work through your trade and engineering process. Confirm the area and site conditions before entering measured quantities into the estimate.
Agree the preparation and site handoff
Explain the included stages, exclusions and responsibilities with the client. Keep the access contact and readiness arrangements visible with the job before scheduling attendance.
Track the agreed work on site
Record administrative progress, crew time and expense receipts. When additional work is requested, check the professional scope and obtain commercial approval before changing the estimate.
Finish the account deliberately
Reconcile quantities, approved changes and costs, then share the invoice PDF from your device. Enter payments received through the existing method and keep unfinished return work visible.

Questions from paving contractors.
Is this asphalt design or takeoff software?
Microtra does not design pavement, calculate asphalt quantities or create engineering plans. It keeps estimates, job records, working time, expenses and invoices around the professionally specified work.
Can a quote distinguish overlay from removal and replacement?
Describe the actual stages and units in separate estimate items. Your survey and specification establish the appropriate work; the estimate should make that commercial scope clear to the client.
What is enabled for a paving contractor?
Trades & construction starts with Job, Client and Properties, including linked records. Stock is initially off; turn it on in Modules & terms before using materials purchasing or location counts.
Can I bill a project in agreed stages?
Microtra supports progress invoices from estimates. Agree the commercial stages with the client, review the scope for each invoice and record payment only after it is received elsewhere.
