Why remodelers switch

Built for the way remodels actually go.

Document the original scope

Itemized estimate with labor and materials separated, signed by the homeowner before demo day. The signed PDF is in the file forever.

Charge for every change

Send a Change Order in 30 seconds when the homeowner says 'while you're at it.' They approve on their phone. You bill.

Stay on top of selections

Tile, fixtures, cabinets, hardware — track every selection and material order in the job file. Photos and supplier links right next to the line items.

Get paid in milestones

Deposit, progress, and final. Each one tied to the work that's actually done on site. Auto-reminders for any past due.

Keep crews coordinated

Schedule view shows who's where this week. Crew logs hours from a phone, not a clipboard.

Close the job clean

Final walkthrough, punch list, paid invoice, and warranty info — all in one customer record. Past customers refer the next ones.

How a job runs

A typical remodelers job in Construction Scope

Walk through what the same job looks like in the tool, from the first call to the final payment.

  1. 1

    First call to scope walkthrough

    Homeowner calls about a kitchen remodel. You create a new Customer record from your phone in the truck. Add a Job with a one-line scope and a $0 placeholder total. The job is in your pipeline before you hang up.

  2. 2

    On-site estimate

    Walk the kitchen with the homeowner. Take photos against each existing cabinet, the floor, the wall outlets. They land on the job record. Note the allowances — cabinets, countertops, fixtures — in plain language.

  3. 3

    Signed estimate + deposit

    Send the estimate as a customer-facing approval link. Homeowner reads it on their phone, signs, pays the deposit through Stripe. Status flips from Estimated to Approved. You order cabinets the same afternoon.

  4. 4

    Change orders during the work

    Day-three the homeowner sees a tile she wants instead. File a Change Order in 30 seconds, send the approval link, get a signed yes before the tile is ordered. The change goes on the final invoice, not your goodwill.

  5. 5

    Final walkthrough + invoice

    Punch list complete. Customer signs the walkthrough on their phone. The final invoice generates from the estimate plus change orders, with the deposit already credited. ACH or card from the same email.

  6. 6

    Warranty calls land on the same job

    Six months later the homeowner reports a sticky cabinet. You open the same job, see exactly what was installed, hardware brand, install date. Schedule the warranty visit; it stays on the customer record, not in a separate ticket system.

Common questions

Questions remodelers ask

How does Construction Scope handle homeowner allowances?
Allowances are line items in the estimate with a clear label like 'Cabinet allowance — mid-grade soft-close shaker, $14,200.' When the homeowner upgrades, you file a change order for the difference. The original allowance is preserved in the file so you can show what was bid versus what was actually selected.
Can my homeowner approve a change order on the weekend?
Yes. Change order approval links go to the customer's email and open in any browser — no login, no app install. They click, read the scope and price, and sign with their finger or a typed name. You get a timestamped signature in the job file the moment they sign.
Do I need to be Pro to use customer approvals?
No. Customer approval links work on Trial, Solo, Crew, and Pro plans. The customer-facing payment portal (where one customer logs in to see all their projects with you) is Pro-only.
What about jobs that take 6 months?
Long jobs work better, not worse. The estimate stays the source of truth. Change orders stack on it without rewriting the original scope. Photos and notes accumulate. When you bill in milestones, each one is its own invoice tied to the same job. The customer sees the whole story.
