Bathroom projects need stage money and clear scope
Bathroom work is messy, wet and full of client changes. Software for bathroom fitters should lock the original quote, capture extras, and invoice first fix, tiling and commissioning as separate stages when that is how you work.
Tradeways proposals, variations and invoices sit on the same job so a towel-rail upgrade mid-week does not disappear into unpaid goodwill.
Schedule around dry times and access
Screeds, tanking and tiling force gaps in the programme. Put those gaps on the Tradeways calendar so you are not double-booking the same fitter across two half-finished suites.
Assign plumbers or tilers as contractors when you bring them in, within your plan limits, and keep the client record in one place for snagging calls later.
- Milestones for deposit, first fix, tiling, finish
- Variations for suite upgrades and extras
- Job calendar with contractor assignment
- Card payments on invoices via Stripe
- RAMS from bathroom / kitchen renovation hazards
RAMS for bathroom strip-outs and wet rooms
Bathroom and kitchen renovation share a hazard tag in Tradeways because many risks overlap — water, electrics, slips, dust, confined access. A bathroom RAMS should still call out this suite: live electrics near water, temporary facilities, waste routes through a furnished home.
Use the hazard bank as a starting point, then write the truth of the site. Export a PDF for the job file when you need it on the van tablet.
Less admin after a dusty rip-out
Speech to text and accessibility settings help you capture notes when your hands are still dusty and your patience is thin. Pair that with invoicing reminders so stage invoices go out while the job is still warm.
