Job Management Software for Painters & Decorators
A decorating team can be preparing one plot, applying a first coat in another and returning for snagging elsewhere. TradeCore keeps each allocation connected to the right place and stage, so the office and painters share a clear plan.

A clear plan.
A connected team.
For a housing development, create the site and its plots, then allocate painters to preparation or coating stages for the week. For a domestic repaint, organise the job by rooms instead. Add photos and notes to record the work before the next visit.
- Allocate day workers and price-work decorators to the right work areas.
- Keep finish notes and progress evidence against the relevant plot or room.
- Review recorded time and worker invoices alongside the work they relate to.

Can I use rooms for domestic decorating jobs?
Yes. Choose rooms when setting up the site or job. New-build projects can use plots, while both follow the same scheduling and progress workflow.
From preparation and mist coat to snagging
Set out the actual decorating sequence your team uses: preparation, mist coat, first and second coats, woodwork and snagging where relevant. Add finish notes to the plot or room, and use progress photos to record what is ready for the next visit. Daywork decorators can submit their time while pricework decorators follow the appropriate worker-invoice process. Edit the starting stages to match your specification; the example sequence is not a fixed requirement.
