Built around the trade workflow

Different trades. The same costly handoff.

Builders, plumbers, heating engineers, kitchen fitters and other residential trades record different details. The shared problem is turning a site visit into clear scope, a controlled quote and work another person can deliver.

Trade-specific site evidence following one shared plan, quote, acceptance and Work chain

A clear definition

Who benefits from field-to-agreement software?

Any small trade firm that surveys rooms, prices work and hands accepted scope to an operative can benefit. The product stays trade-neutral at its core: named rooms, measured context, quote lines and Work packages can reflect the firm's language without pretending one catalogue fits everyone.

No more forcing every trade into a generic office dashboard. Start with what happened in the room, then carry that evidence into the commercial and delivery decisions.

How it works

First-class trade workflows

These pages explain the practical differences without promising automatic materials, statutory certificates or supplier data that are not live.

  1. 01

    Builders and renovators

    Keep multi-room survey context, reviewed scope, quotation versions and package handover together.

  2. 02

    Kitchen fitters

    Connect room dimensions, openings and site notes to fit-out scope and the customer quote.

  3. 03

    Plumbing and heating

    Record measured context, runs, fittings and allowances as builder-reviewed scope.

  4. 04

    Electricians

    Keep room context, manually reviewed cable routes, accessories and accepted scope connected without inventing a circuit design.

  5. 05

    Gas engineers

    Keep appliance and room context organised without claiming to replace Gas Safe records or engineering judgement.

In practice

A broader trade-category map

  • Electrical: room and opening context, measured routes and manually reviewed scope—without automatic cable or accessory takeoff claims.
  • Carpentry and joinery: measured openings, room notes and customer-facing work sections.
  • Decorating, tiling and flooring: reviewed room measurements and areas where geometry supports them, with the firm controlling waste and price.
  • Roofing, general building and renovation: imported plans, multi-room evidence, quote versions and accepted-package handover.

The honest boundary

Trade-specific truth

  • The launch product does not provide a complete automatic catalogue for every trade.
  • No trade page implies supplier stock, exact materials or an automatically compliant installation.
  • Measured runs, fittings, wastage and allowances remain professional inputs to review.
  • Any future building-reg guidance must be sourced, dated and non-blocking.

Questions, answered plainly

Frequently asked questions

Is Setout Pro only for builders?

No. The core workflow is designed for residential trade firms that survey, quote and hand work over. Trade-specific pages explain how that shared workflow changes in practice.

Does Setout Pro contain every trade's material catalogue?

No. Trade catalogues, exact assemblies and live supplier pricing are not claimed as launch capabilities. Firms retain control of scope, rates and material decisions.

Can different roles use the same job?

Yes. Owners, estimators, surveyors, managers and field viewers can work from the same project while role-aware views limit unnecessary commercial information.
