The questions contractors actually ask.

A takeoff eats an entire evening — and you still end up quoting it on the weekend.

Walk the space and talk. Record a video or an audio note. AI writes the scope room by room, prices it off your rate book, and flags what's missing before it goes out.

You forget a line, then eat the cost out of your own margin.

Leads live in texts, voicemail and a notebook in the truck.

Every lead in one pipeline. Staged, timestamped, and chased automatically. If a lead goes quiet, the follow-up goes out whether or not you remembered it.

The follow-up you meant to do on Tuesday never happened.

Somebody called three weeks ago and nobody ever called back.

You get to the site and half the information wasn't written down.

You find out a job lost money when the job is already over.

Budget vs actual, live. Every hour, receipt and invoice lands on the job as it happens. Cash flow updates itself, and the documentation is attached where you'll find it.

No idea what's actually in the bank three weeks out.

Every client, every job you’ve done for them, and every lead you haven’t closed yet — one list, staged from first call to signed deal.

A takeoff eats an entire evening, you forget a line and eat it out of your margin, and the number still goes out after somebody else already signed the job.

Walk the space and talk. Contrax listens, writes the scope, prices it off your own rate book, and sends a polished PDF the same day.

The estimate is done at 11pm. Then the contract has to be written, the deposit schedule worked out, and three invoices typed up by hand — and every one is a chance to get a number wrong.

The moment an estimate is built, Contrax writes the contract from it: scope, price, terms, and a payment schedule — deposit, progress draws, final — that you can edit in a click. Send it for e-signature from the same screen. The signed schedule is wired straight to the Invoices section, so each milestone becomes an invoice with one tap, already priced, already dated.

Two nearly identical bathrooms get priced two different ways, because the number lives in your head and your head was tired on Thursday.

One rate book for labour, materials and assemblies, with schedules of values built off it. Price the same job the same way every time.

“How’s the Patel job going?” means a phone call to the site, because the plan is on a whiteboard and the progress is in someone’s head.

Break the job into tasks on a timeline — demo, rough-in, drywall, tile, trim — and drop them onto the schedule against the crew. The schedule is the same one the clock-in app shows your crew on their phones. As they finish work they cross tasks off on site, and the timeline updates on your screen while they’re still holding the drill. You see what’s done, what’s late and what’s next without calling anyone.

You find out a job lost money when the job is already over, and half the change orders were agreed standing in a driveway.

Break each job into phases and tasks, watch budget against actual as it moves, and keep the photos and approvals on the timeline.

The crew shows up at the wrong address, or shows up with half the information because nobody wrote the rest down.

Drag jobs onto the calendar, assign your crew, and they get the address, scope and directions on their phone.

Friday afternoon chasing paper timesheets, then guessing which hours belonged to which job.

The crew clocks in from any phone, and their hours flow straight into job costing and payroll.

A ticket expires and nobody notices until an inspector asks, and the write-up from last spring is in a filing cabinet somewhere.

Crew records, certifications and tickets, documents, write-ups and reviews — all in one place with dates that don’t sneak up on you.

The invoice goes out late because building it is a chore, then it sits unpaid because chasing it is a worse chore.

Build an invoice from the job in seconds, send it, and see exactly who still owes you — with follow-ups that go out on their own.

A shoebox of faded receipts in the truck, and job costs that are wrong because half of them never got entered.

Take a photo of a receipt on site and it files itself — to the right account, on the right job, before you’ve left the parking lot.

You’re paying for bookkeeping software, a bookkeeper, and still doing data entry twice.

Every dollar in and out, coded to the right account and job the moment it happens — a full set of contractor books that keeps itself current.

Quarter-end arrives and you’re rebuilding three months of HST from bank statements, guessing at the meals rule.

Every taxable line tracks your HST by quarter and exports clean for your accountant, plus T5018.

No idea what’s actually in the bank three weeks out, and the real margin arrives months late from the accountant.

See profit, cash flow and job costs as they happen — while you can still do something about them.

Payroll means retyping the same hours a third time, and cash advances get remembered wrong.

Run payroll straight from the crew’s tracked time — no double entry — with advances tracked along the way.

Marketing is the thing that gets done when work is slow — which is three months after it needed doing. By the time the phone goes quiet it’s too late to start.

Contrax works the customers you already have, because they’re the cheapest leads you will ever get. It knows who you finished a job for, what it was worth and when — so it can ask for a review at the right moment and go back to a client whose kitchen you did four years ago.

The answer you need is in the system somewhere, but finding it means opening four screens and doing the math yourself.

Ask it anything about your numbers, have it draft your quotes and emails, and let it work the phones.
