COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions from trade businesses

Can I price by square metre or by room?

Yes. Configure services with the measurement unit and price that match how you estimate each type of work.

Can I separate preparation from painting?

Yes. Use separate line items so customers can see the preparation and finish included in the quote.

Can I book surveys and work visits against the same job?

Yes. Request a visit to arrange later or book a date and time directly. Surveys can take place before quoting or during the work, and follow-ups can stay linked to a completed job. Completing a visit does not complete the whole job or mark an invoice as paid.
