What it saves you
- Pieces per job with dimensions and quantity - board feet and timber cost are calculated before you order.
- Estimates with materials, labour days and day rate - quote total and margin are calculated.
- Hours per project roll up from work orders
- Tools and instruments due for calibration or service are listed
- Tickets and certifications expiring within 60 days are flagged
- Open safety observations stay visible until closed out
How the parts work together
- Plan: Add projects with deadlines → Break work into work orders with priority
- Work: Log hours and findings on each work order → Record safety observations on site
- Stay compliant: Check "Calibration due" and "Renew soon" monthly
