Flooring contractor software
Flooring lives on two numbers: square footage and waste. Get the waste factor wrong and you either eat the overage or send a crew back for one more box, which costs more than the material did. WorksiteBase does the room-by-room takeoff on site, applies the waste factor for the pattern and material, and builds the order from the accepted estimate rather than from somebody’s recollection.
- Waste factors estimated differently by every estimator
- Material shortages discovered mid-install
- Subfloor problems found on install day and never priced
- Orders retyped from the estimate and mistyped
- Install crews scheduled before the material has landed
Room by room, with the waste
Measure each room, let the app apply the waste factor for the pattern and material, and see the box count before you leave.

Estimate created
Order what was actually sold
The material order derives from the accepted estimate, so the delivery matches the job.

Install when the material is there
Delivery status sits on the job, so crews are not scheduled against material that is still on a truck.

Common questions
- Can I set waste factors per material?
- Yes — tile, plank and pattern each carry their own.
- Does it handle subfloor prep as a line item?
- Yes, including as a priced change order found on install day.
- Can I track material by job?
- Yes, down to the box, which is where the leftovers usually disappear.
