Two carpets (or two vinyls) on one job

What does this do?

One job can have more than one product of the same type, for example a Saxony in the lounge and a twist on the stairs. Each product has its own price, fitting rate, waste and underlay, is planned on its own roll, and is named on the quote, cutting plan and fitter sheet.

How to use it

  1. Add all the rooms on 2 · Add Rooms as normal. The first product of each flooring type comes from 3 · Products & Pricing.
  2. Scroll to the Products on this job card under the form.
  3. Press ＋ Another Carpet (or ＋ Another Sheet Vinyl, ＋ Another LVT and so on for the type you need).
  4. Give the new product a name, then fill in its Cost, Sell, Fitting, Waste % and Underlay rate. Type the underlay name if it has one.
  5. Go to the rooms that use it. Each room of that type now shows a Product dropdown on its card. Pick the second product for those rooms.
  6. Press ▶ Calculate All Rooms on step 4. Each product gets its own roll plan and its own lines on the quote.

Set the product and prices for each flooring type

Step 3 is where the job gets its money. Every flooring type used on the job has a tab with the product name, your cost, the customer price and the fitting rates. The quote, cutting plan and profit check all read from here.

Products & Pricing

Continue an older estimate as a new quote

Estimates quoted before per-product pricing arrived stay exactly as they were priced, so reopening one still totals what the customer was told. Continue as a new quote copies its rooms and prices onto a fresh quote number where you can change things and add a second product.

Adding Rooms & Measurements

Calculate the job and find the best roll width

Calculate All Rooms runs the roll optimiser over every room on the job. It tries each roll width, picks the one with the least waste, and produces the cut list, the cutting plan and the fitter sheet in one go.

Calculate, Roll Optimisation & Cutting Plans

See and print the cutting plan (cut list)

The cutting plan is the picture of the roll with every cut drawn on it, plus the cut list in the order the fitter should work. It comes straight from Calculate All Rooms, so it always matches the quote.

Give the customer a detailed quote

The Detailed Quote is the customer-facing document built from your estimate: each room with its product and price, then fitting, underlay, floor preparation, uplift and accessories, the net total, VAT and the total. If a deposit is on, it shows the deposit and the balance due on completion.

Customer Quotes

Add underlay to a quote (including a custom underlay)

Each flooring type can carry an underlay, charged per m² over the same area as the flooring. Pick one of the built-in foams or set up a Designer Underlay with your own name, cost and selling price.
