Software for remodeling contractors
Make the estimate show where the remodel begins and ends.
Clients may picture a finished room while your estimate assumes an empty work area and an accessible wall. Bring those assumptions into the document. Build a scope that separates preparation, installation and finishing, then use Microtra to organize line items and share the proposal for review.
Make room for the real work.
- Kitchen cabinet installation
- Bathroom fixture replacement
- Interior partition alteration
- Room finish renovation
- Occupied-space protection and cleanup
- Additional work after opening a wall
How it works.
Walk the work in its real sequence
List protection, removal, disposal, rough work, installation and finishing as applicable. Record the access and occupancy assumptions that affect your labor. Use job notes to capture what you inspected and what remains uncertain before calculating a complete-looking total.
See the jobs featureChoose units that reveal the scope
Enter measured surface quantities, component counts and your labor allowance as clear items. Check whether a supplier quote includes delivery and whether a subcontract scope overlaps another item. Microtra supports your quantities and prices; you perform takeoffs and verify the specification.
See the invoicing featureDescribe selections and allowances honestly
Use document notes to identify owner-supplied fixtures, unresolved finish choices and excluded repairs. Explain how a change will be reviewed before work proceeds. A clear allowance tells the reader what assumption you priced without pretending an undecided selection is fixed.
See the invoicing featureTie each stage to the agreed document
Review the estimate with the client and retain clear records of the agreed scope. Progress invoices can be prepared from estimates. Before each one, compare completed work, any approved changes and prior billing so the document identifies what that stage covers.

Useful answers.
Does the app produce quantities from drawings?
Measure and calculate quantities yourself, then enter the results as estimate items. This page does not promise plan takeoff, structural design or an automatic material list. Review the drawings and supplier specifications through your normal professional process.
How can an estimate explain concealed conditions?
State what could not be inspected and which work would need a separate discussion after opening the area. Keep that boundary readable beside the scope. Have a qualified professional review contract wording when you need legal terms.
Should material allowances and fixed selections look different?
Yes. Describe the assumption behind each allowance and identify confirmed specifications separately. Explain how you will discuss a changed selection, including its effect on labor and related work, before treating it as an agreed replacement.
What should I review before billing another stage?
Compare the original estimate, approved changes, completed tasks and invoices already issued. A stage description should be recognizable to the client and should not silently include an item that was removed from the scope.
