Quote the board, bill the stage

Hang, tape, mud, finish. Four stages, one job, and money owed at more than one point in it. QuixChex quotes by area, tracks the crew through each stage, and bills the draws.

How a job runs

One Job, Start to Finish

GC calls with a square footage. You quote off board area, it's approved, and the crew is assigned. They clock in at the site; hang bills, then tape, then finish. The crew days and the draws are on the same job record.

  1. You quote off board area

    Square footage in, price out, at your own rate. The GC gets it the same day they ring.

  2. Hang, tape and finish each bill

    Every stage is money, and each one bills when it is done rather than all of it waiting on the last coat.

  3. Crew days land on the right site

    Days are recorded against the job they were worked on, and fractional days are real — so a crew that moved twice in a day is still costed to both.

Walls up. Every stage billed. Paid.

Board Area, Stages, Crews

You price by area, not by hour

Estimates are built off board area with your own rate, so quoting a job is arithmetic you already trust rather than a guess.

The job has stages and each one is money

Hang, tape and finish can each be their own draw, so you're paid through the job instead of after it.

Crews move between sites in a day

Labour goes on the job it belongs to — a finisher at their day rate, for the days they gave it. A half-day on one site and a half-day on another are two lines, not one guess.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

Can I estimate by square footage?

Yes. Price per area is your own number on the line item, so a quote is the area times your rate rather than a fresh calculation each time.

Can different stages bill separately?

Yes — hang, tape and finish can each be their own draw on the same job, or you can bill the whole thing once. It's the same record either way.

Can I see what a job cost me?

Yes. Each finisher on the job carries a day rate and the days they worked, so labour sits next to what you billed and the margin is a figure.

The GC pays by check. Does the job just sit there looking unpaid?

No. Mark that draw paid by check, cash, bank transfer or a card taken somewhere else, and date it the day the money actually arrived — a check from last Tuesday lands in last Tuesday’s figures, not today’s. If a pay link for that draw was still out, marking it cancels the link, so it can’t be paid twice.

Board, mud and screws — does that cost land anywhere?

Yes. A material line goes on the job with what it cost, how many, and the supplier it came from, and it comes off the job’s profit alongside the finisher days. What it won’t do is order the board or count what’s left on the truck — you enter what the load cost, off the supplier’s invoice.

The GC says the bid never covered the ceilings. What have I got?

The bid exactly as they approved it, saved as a PDF at that moment — the lines, the price, who approved it and when, frozen. Revisions afterwards don’t rewrite that copy. Anything added since is its own record carrying its own price.
