Software for tile installation contractors

Make the tile scope readable from start to finish.

The tile selection has changed after the quote, and the crew needs an agreed scope before the next visit. Keep preparation, materials, installation work and authorized additions readable through the job record. Layout and technical installation decisions remain part of your professional process.

Unleash your potential.

The everyday details

You know the work.
The admin adds up.

Square footage does not explain every task

Removal, substrate preparation, edges, niches and transitions may sit outside a basic laying description. A clear estimate gives those parts of the work a place before the customer assumes they are included.

Selections can change after the quote

A different tile, pattern or trim may affect the agreed work. Keep customer-approved changes visible so the crew is not working from one plan while billing follows another.

Purchased material needs a job context

Tile, setting materials, grout and trim can arrive through separate purchases. Receipts scattered across the truck make it difficult to compare the job's spending with the estimate.

A return for finishing work needs a visible place

A customer may see installed tile and assume the whole commercial scope is complete. Keep the remaining finishing tasks and agreed return visit clear so the work record and any progress invoice explain what stage has been reached.

A day in the life

From the first quote to paid.

  1. Confirm the areas and selections

    Discuss the rooms, boundaries, materials and intended finish. Establish the technical scope through your own assessment before turning it into a commercial estimate.

  2. Write down the included work

    Separate demolition or preparation from installation and finishing where appropriate. Review units, quantities and exclusions with the customer before booking the crew.

  3. Maintain the work record

    Assign the visits, record labor and enter purchases. Obtain agreement to selection or scope changes before updating the estimate and carrying out the extra work.

  4. Close against the authorized scope

    Review completed work and approved additions, then share the invoice PDF. Record payment received elsewhere and check the outstanding balance against the agreement.

A few useful answers

Questions from tile installation contractors.

Does Microtra generate tile layouts or material takeoffs?

Microtra does not design layouts, calculate waste allowances or verify substrate preparation. Use specialist tools and your own assessment for those tasks, with Microtra handling the business records around them.

Can I show labor and customer-supplied tile separately?

Use clear invoice descriptions for the work your business provides and notes explaining customer-supplied materials. Check quantities and responsibility against the agreement instead of implying that all materials are included.

Can I count materials kept for future installations?

Stock starts off in Trades & construction. Switch it on in Modules & terms to use location counts, saved items, supplier records and purchase orders.

How do I keep billing stages clear?

Use progress invoices from the estimate where they fit the agreement. Describe the stage being billed and review recorded payments before preparing the next document.

How can a selection change be documented commercially?

Describe the revised service or supplied material in the estimate and discuss the effect with the customer before proceeding. Keep technical drawings and selection approvals in your own project process, with the business document reflecting the work actually authorized.
