Description

Bolster overhauls the complete end-to-end project management process for residential construction businesses and contractors. With custom assemblies and automated costing based on supplier pricing data, Bolster's patented estimating software allows you to estimate accurately and quickly every time, no matter the type of work you do. Presentations transform what used to be static quotes into fully interactive point of sale experiences for homeowners in minutes, winning you more jobs. Offer upgrades, selections, and optional items, increasing your job size with customer initiated upsells, right in your proposals. Once projects are booked through the Pipeline CRM, automated Scheduling built right from your estimates communicate clear project and task timelines to contractor, subcontractors, and homeowners. Bolster's Client Portal allows customers to track project progress, and make payments online when tasks are completed. Contractors can receive those payments instantly using a Bolster Business Account, and spend with virtual and physical cards.

Description

TradesMetrics takes care of all aspects of the project for small residential general contractors, from the initial estimate to the final payment. By selecting a specific job type, it generates a detailed line-by-line pricing breakdown using authentic cost data from the US and Canada, incorporating your own rates and markups; this estimate transitions into a legally binding contract and a dynamic budget that reflects your actual expenses. All elements, including change orders, a client portal, and payment processing, are centralized in one interface rather than being spread across multiple spreadsheets and applications. Additionally, there is a field voice assistant named heyJackie, and the pricing model is usage-based, allowing you to start for free and only pay 0.5% of the contract value as your business expands, without any per-seat subscription fees. This streamlined approach helps contractors save time and reduce the complexity of managing their projects.
