A working example

From approved alcove design to workshop and fitting

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 customer’s layout and finish choices

    The customer needs to agree the layout and finish before you order materials and start making the units. Save the customer, property and reported work in the job record.

  2. Check dimensions and specification revision

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

    • Verified dimensions and site constraints
    • Drawing or specification revision
    • Board, timber, hardware and finish choices
    • Delivery, fitting and making good
  3. Quote against the approved design and materials

    Quote against the agreed specification. Record a requested finish or layout change before revising the price. Review the draft, send it when ready and add the agreed visit to your diary.

  4. Save the final specification and adjustment list

    Note the final specification and any follow-up adjustments. Invoice the agreed work with a clear description of the supplied units.

A few things to know.

Does it design bespoke furniture?

You create and check the design. Trade PA helps organise the specification, customer decisions, appointments and financial paperwork.

Is this a separate app for joiners?

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 “bespoke alcove shelving”. Add your own scope and prices, check the wording, then explore the appointment and invoice tools. You can review the draft without sending it.
