For hardscape contractors · Early access
Know which jobs made you money.
Grade is the margin instrument for hardscape work: quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and field capture built around one deterministic dollar engine — so the number you quoted, the number you invoiced, and the margin you actually made are the same number, traced end to end.
Early access is founder-onboarded — there's no self-serve signup yet.
One engine authors every dollar.
Estimates, actuals, prices, invoice lines, margins, and the cash forecast all trace to a single cents-exact engine. Screens can't disagree, because there is only one place numbers come from.
▸The dollar engine
Every cost is a component — metered, fixed, or derived — with estimate and actual on the same line, so variance is per-line and automatic the moment a real cost lands. Margin by job, worst-first, and a 13-week cash forecast that names the low-water week.
▸Snap a receipt
Capture a receipt from the truck — Grade reads the vendor, amount, and date off the photo — and it lands against the job's costs, not in a shoebox. Anything the system can't code confidently drops into an exceptions inbox for a one-tap decision, and the job's live margin moves the moment real costs land.
▸Quote to margin
Quotes are priced from cost components and a target margin — one deterministic function, no gut-feel markup. The same components follow the job through scheduling, invoicing (deposit + balance reconciled by construction), and AR aging, so every finished job answers one question: did it make you money?
