The whole business of a painting contractor, not just the estimate. Walk the job and build the takeoff room by room, priced from your own materials catalogue by the gallon — interior, exterior, primer, trim and specialty. Present it, and an accepted estimate becomes a job that carries its own costs. Order the paint on a purchase order, receive it against that order, issue it to the job, and see what is still on the shelf. Clock the crew against the job and the site, then read hours by job, by site and by department with what was bid against what it has cost so far. Invoice from the work, enter the cheque in the check register, and watch who owes what until it clears — on real double-entry books that also give you where the money goes and a proforma tax report. Customers, job sites, suppliers and materials all live in one record file, with mailing labels, notes, scheduling and email beside them.
