A shower is a small room and a big week. The tile is an allowance the client will probably exceed, the waterproofing is the part nobody sees, and the labor is six days of prep, setting and grout that stretch when the walls aren't flat or the tile got bigger after the quote.
Obra keeps each tile job as its own project, with the tile as an allowance and the labor split by phase, so you know what the shower made you before the grout cures.
Tile as an allowance
Budget the tile on its own allowance line. Log the tile shop invoice against it, and turn any upgrade into a change order once the client has agreed. The allowance overage guide shows the wording that keeps the client happy and the margin whole.
Prep, set, grout
Give each phase its own labor code. After a few jobs you'll know whether your days go into floating walls or into setting, and what large format really costs you per foot. The cost code guide has a short list you can copy.
The walls, the format, the pattern
The three change orders below show up on most showers. Price each one the day it comes up, get the client's okay, then record it so the contract moves with the work. The change order guide keeps the wording short.
The margin on each shower
When the last invoice is paid, the job's page shows the contract, total cost and margin. Compare your showers against your backsplashes and your floors. The markup and margin guide helps you set the price per foot that covers the slow weeks.
What Obra isn't for a tile setter
Not a layout tool, not estimating software, not scheduling. Obra is the money on each job, in English and Spanish, from receipts your crew already sends, exported clean to the accountant.
