Plastering Contractor Software: Room-by-Room Quotes and a Diary That Knows About Drying Time
Mythex builds a plastering contractor's quote tool, multi-site schedule, stage-payment invoices and website from a description of how you work. Quotes price each room with ceilings on their own line, and the schedule knows a wall needs days to dry before the second coat or the decorator.
Five sites, all at different stages
A skim takes a day, a full replaster a week with hacking off and drying in between, and external rendering waits for dry, frost-free weather. So a plasterer runs several sites at once, skimming one while another dries. Work comes from homeowners and from builders who ring at short notice when the plumber finished early, or late when he did not. The diary fills with return visits and rooms that were not empty when you arrived. Software helps by tracking which room is at which stage, when each site is ready again, and which customer still owes the stage payment.
- Quotes by room, wall or square metre
- Ceilings and hacking off priced as separate lines
- Drying gaps between coats in the schedule
- Rendering pushed back for rain or frost
- Stage payments on longer jobs
- Builder accounts with several live sites
What you can build for plastering contractors
Room-by-room quotes with ceilings on their own line
Customers assume a room price covers the ceiling. List walls and ceilings separately per room, add hacking off as an option, and estimate beads, board and bags from the area. Rendering quotes carry colour and finish options and a note about weather.
Build a quote tool for my plastering business. Each room has walls and ceiling priced separately per square metre, with optional hacking off, and materials (beads, board, bags of multi-finish) estimated from area. Rendering quotes add colour and finish options. Quotes expire after 30 days.
A schedule that interleaves sites
Each job is broken into visits: hack off, float, skim, return check. The schedule leaves drying days between visits and slots another site into the gap. External work is flagged when rain or frost is forecast, and the decorator's start date is set after drying.
Make a schedule for my plastering business where each job has visits (hack off, base coat, skim) with set drying days between them, other jobs fill the gaps, labourers can be assigned to bigger jobs, and rendering visits are flagged for rescheduling if rain or frost is expected.
Builders and homeowners, room by room
Track builders and developers as trade accounts with several sites, and homeowners through inquiry, survey, quoted, booked and signed off. Note problems you find, such as damp or blown plaster, against the room.
Build a CRM for my plastering business with trade accounts for builders that hold several sites, a pipeline from inquiry to survey, quoted, booked and signed off, and room-by-room notes of work done and problems found such as damp.
Stage payments while the walls dry
A deposit, a payment after the first coat and the balance on completion keep cash moving on longer jobs. Materials are itemised, and builder accounts get one monthly invoice across all their sites.
Create invoicing for my plastering business with stage payments (deposit, after first coat, on completion), itemised materials, and a monthly invoice per builder account listing each site.
A site that shows the finish
Service pages for skimming, replastering, rendering and dry lining, photos of finished walls in raking light, and a page explaining preparation and drying time before painting. The enquiry form asks for rooms, ceilings and whether old plaster is blown.
Build a website for my plastering business with pages for skimming, full replastering, rendering and dry lining, a gallery of finished work, a page on preparing rooms and how long to wait before painting, and an enquiry form asking rooms, ceilings and photos.
Days lost to sites not ready
Revenue by job type, builder versus homeowner share, outstanding stage payments, and days lost to weather or sites that were not ready. If one builder causes most lost days, you will have the numbers to raise it.
Build a dashboard for my plastering business showing revenue by skim, replaster, render and dry lining, days lost per month by reason (weather, site not ready) and by customer, and unpaid stage payments.
From the diary to the app
Enter your live sites first, each with its rooms and the stage they are at. Then add your rates per square metre for walls, ceilings and rendering. Ask customers in every booking confirmation to have rooms empty and floors protected, because a furnished room is the most common reason a day overruns.
- Live sites and their current stage
- Rates per square metre and per room
- A preparation checklist sent with each booking
Questions
Can the schedule handle drying time between coats?
Yes. Give each visit type a drying gap, and the next visit is only offered once that time has passed.
Can I quote by square metre?
Yes. Enter rates per square metre for walls, ceilings and rendering, and the quote is worked out from the room sizes you enter.
Can I use it on my phone on site?
Yes, in a phone browser. On Pro it can also become Android and iPhone apps that open your published app.
Do I need to be good with computers?
No. You describe what you need in plain words and change it by chatting.
Is it free?
Free has daily credits and no card. Pro is $25/month for a custom domain and code editing.
