Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. RoughInDesk publishes no market averages and quotes no survey: the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own. The pipe dimensions in the pipe-size tool are the published standard sizes, cited on that page.

Software for a plumbing company of one to ten trucks has five jobs, and the order matters: price the work from a book so every tech quotes the same number, estimate the bigger jobs from the fixture count, invoice at the property before the truck leaves, keep the service agreements and their visits against each property, and schedule the day so the right tech with the right parts arrives first. The free tools on this site do the first three without an account; RoughInDesk Pro keeps the records and the schedule for the whole crew.

Price from a book, not from the truck

The first thing the software has to hold is the price book: every task the company does, with the labor, the parts and the margin already in it, so the tech at the kitchen sink quotes the same number the office would. The flat rate tool and the price book template on this site build that book from your hourly cost and your part costs, free, and Pro keeps it current across every truck.

Estimate the big jobs from the fixture count

A repipe, a rough-in or a remodel is estimated from the fixtures, the runs and the access rather than from a task list. The plumbing estimating software on this site takes the fixture count and the conditions and produces the number, so the estimate is built the same way every time and the margin is visible before the proposal goes out.

Invoice at the property, with the signature

The invoice is produced on the phone from the tasks done, signed by the customer at the door, and paid before the truck is off the driveway where the customer will do that. The invoice software on this site builds it from the price book; Pro sends it, takes the payment and files it against the property.

Keep the property, the equipment and the agreement together

The record that makes the next job is the property: the heater and its install date, the shutoff, the clean-out, the agreement and its visit dates. Pro keeps that against every address the crew has been to and produces the recall list every week. From the vendors' own pricing pages: Tradify lists Lite at $47, Pro at $51 and Plus at $61 per user per month; Jobber lists Core at $49 per month for one user with additional users at $29 each; Housecall Pro lists Basic at $59 per month billed annually or $79 monthly. RoughInDesk Pro is $47 per month for the whole crew.
