Common questions
Decorators FAQs
Can I use rooms for domestic decorating jobs?
Yes. Organise a domestic property by rooms or work areas and track each separately. Keep room notes, progress photos and issues with the relevant work.
Can I manage multi-plot developments?
Yes. The same company can manage domestic jobs, commercial work and new-build developments. Use rooms or plots to suit the project. All plans include unlimited sites.
Can I allocate different decorators to different rooms or jobs?
Yes. Assign workers to the relevant rooms, plots and trade stages in your schedule. You can plan multiple jobs in one day and review availability when someone records holiday or sickness.
Can I track snagging and touch-ups?
Yes. Record issues, notes and photos against the job or work area so the returning decorator can see what needs attention. For pricework, you can hold a fixed amount or percentage against a snag checklist and release retention once checked.
Can I use pricework as well as hourly or day work?
Yes. Manage all three in the same company. Hourly and day work use time records and weekly timesheet review. Priceworkers start and complete tasks without recording hours for those tasks; approved work and released retention feed into worker invoicing.
Are the decorating stages fixed?
No. Preparation, mist coat, first coat, second coat, woodwork and snagging are a starting point. Edit your company workflow to match the way your team works.
Does the free trial need a payment card?
No. Start a 30-day trial with your selected plan’s active-worker allowance, all features and unlimited sites. Administrators and managers do not count towards the worker allowance. You choose whether to subscribe; the no-card trial does not automatically charge you.
