Insulation is a fast job with expensive material and an expensive rig. A set of foam, a pallet of batts, a day or two of crew, and the margin is decided by how many sets the house really took, how many trips it took to finish, and what the inspector asked for that the bid didn't have.
Obra keeps each job as its own project, with material by the set and the bag and labor by the day, so you know your real cost per job before you bid the next one.
Sets, bags and days
Set up the budget the way you buy: foam by the set, batts and blown-in by the bag, consumables, testing, labor. When the invoices come in, they go against the right line and the job's page shows the gap. The cost code guide has a short list you can copy.
Receipts from the supply house
Your sprayer picks up tips, fuel and a set on the way to the job. They photograph each receipt and send it by WhatsApp. Obra reads it, drafts the expense, and you confirm which job it belongs to. The receipt tracking guide shows the habit.
The inches, the sealing, the return trip
The three change orders below show up on most jobs. Price each one the day it comes up, get the builder's okay, then record it so the contract moves with the work. The change order guide keeps the wording short enough to send from the truck.
Which jobs paid
When the last check clears, the job's page shows the contract, total cost and margin. Compare your spray jobs against your batt-only jobs and your retrofits. The markup and margin guide helps you set the number to aim for.
What Obra isn't for an insulation contractor
Not scheduling, not a rig maintenance log, not payroll. Obra is the money on each job, in English and Spanish, from receipts your crew already sends, exported clean to the accountant.
