Joinery work needs clean quotes and fewer lost extras
A carpenter job app should handle measured work, supply-and-fit doors, and the extras that appear once walls are opened. Tradeways proposals and variations keep those changes billable.
Whether you are on a main contractor’s programme or running your own domestic jobs, one calendar and one client list beats notes on timber offcuts.
Schedule site days and workshop time
Block site install days and leave workshop prep visible so you do not promise two first-fix starts on the same morning. Assign a mate or sub within plan limits when a heavy door set needs two pairs of hands.
Reminders help when jobs move because plasterers ran late — drag the block, tell the client, move on.
- Proposals and e-signature for joinery scopes
- Variations for extras found on site
- Calendar scheduling
- Invoices with optional Stripe card pay
- RAMS starting from hand tools, windows and doors, and slips tags
Health & safety for carpentry on site
Tradeways does not have a single “carpenter” hazard bank label. Use the closest real tags: hand tools / power tools / plant, windows and doors, and slips / trips & falls — then describe the actual staircase, loft hatch or door lining job.
That honesty beats inventing a trade category the product does not have. Your RAMS should name the saws, dust and access you really face.
