What BM-360 is
A painter's price book, job list, and invoicing, covering interior rooms, exteriors, and surface prep as separate priced lines.
Trades
Painter quoting software for room repaints, exteriors, and prep work
A single room repaint and a full exterior job should not be quoted on two different scraps of paper. Price both from one book, and send the figure before you leave the driveway.
Single room repaint
Full interior (house)
Ceiling paint (per room)
Feature wall
Room by room, or the whole house
One price book, every wall
A feature wall and a full exterior repaint both come from the same price book, so the size of the job never changes how it gets quoted.
Driveway or desktop
Quote a repaint standing in the driveway. Set your per-room and per-metre prices from the desktop when you are between jobs.
Prep does not disappear
Surface prep and patching are their own line, so a job that needs extra work before painting still invoices correctly.
Your week
From site look to signed-off number
Painting quotes usually depend on seeing the job first.
What goes wrong
You look at the job, quote a rough figure verbally, and write the real number up later that night.
How a job runs with BM-360
The enquiry becomes a job on your list, priced from the book, whether it is a ceiling repaint or exterior weatherboard prep.
What the week looks like
Interior and exterior jobs run on the same list, and Friday's invoice for a feature wall matches Monday's quote.
