A working example

From base dimensions to agreed excavation costs

This is an illustrative workflow using the existing shared tools in Trade PA. You supply the findings and prices; Eve helps with the admin.

  1. Record the proposed base and site access

    The base dimensions are agreed, but access, spoil removal and the ground conditions still need recording. Save the customer, property and reported work in the job record.

  2. Check levels, services information and ground findings

    Record what you have checked before you commit to the work:

    • Approved dimensions, levels and specification
    • Ground findings and existing services information
    • Plant, delivery and site access
    • Excavation, spoil removal and reinstatement
  3. Separate plant, spoil and specified base work

    Separate the specified base from unexpected ground work. Use your measured quantities and supplier or hire prices. Review the draft, send it when ready and add the agreed visit to your diary.

  4. Record variations before the final invoice

    Record agreed changes and completed work before preparing the invoice. Keep outstanding items attached to the job.

For the jobs groundworkers actually take on.

Keep the details that change the scope, the visit and the final bill.

Bases and slabs

Reference the approved dimensions and specification in your quote. Keep your measured quantities and delivery allowances explicit.

Excavation and drainage work

Record access, spoil disposal and the inspected scope. Use supplier and hire costs you have confirmed.

Unexpected ground work

Keep the finding and proposed extra work in the job notes. Agree the additional scope and price before it enters the invoice.

A few things to know.

Does Trade PA check underground services or design foundations?

No. Site investigation, service checks, design and safe working decisions remain with the responsible professionals. The app supports the surrounding job admin.

Is this a separate app for groundworkers?

No. It is the same Trade PA app, with examples showing how the shared tools fit this trade. Use your own scope, prices and job details to make it fit the way you work.

What should I try first?

Create a test customer and a draft for “prepare a base for a garden building”. Add your own scope and prices, check the wording, then explore the appointment and invoice tools. You can review the draft without sending it.
