The existing space can reveal new work
Opening a wall or removing a fixture may expose an issue outside the original scope. Discuss the finding and approval before treating it as part of the accepted price.
Software for remodeling contractors
Keep the agreed remodel visible as the work develops.
A changed fixture selection can reach the crew before anyone has discussed its effect on the agreed price. Connect the approved scope, appointments and business costs so a change made on site can reach the estimate and invoice without losing its context.

The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
Client selections affect the sequence
A delayed fixture or changed finish can alter what the crew can do next. Record the decision and tasks it affects, then confirm the revised plan directly with the people involved.
A lump sum hides progress
A client needs to understand which stage is being billed and which approved additions sit outside it. Keep the estimate and progress invoice descriptions aligned with the work actually agreed.
A returning trade needs the changed plan
A revised fixture or unfinished preparation can affect a later contractor visit. Keep the accepted commercial change and tasks visible, and use your direct professional coordination process to confirm that the next stage is ready.

Questions from remodeling contractors.
Is this a home design or visualization app?
Microtra does not create room layouts, render interiors or produce building drawings. It keeps the business records around a remodeling project, including work, time, costs, estimates and invoices.
What terminology does a remodeler get?
Trades & construction provides Job, Client and Properties. Linked records are enabled; stock starts off and can be switched on in Modules & terms.
Can I invoice before the whole remodel is finished?
Progress invoices can be created from estimates. Agree the billing stages with your client, review the work covered and use a clear description for each invoice.
Does this produce material takeoffs?
Microtra does not measure drawings or calculate construction takeoffs. Enter quantities you have established through your own measurement and estimating process.
