Glass & Mirror Software for Finish-Trade Contractors

Shower glass and mirrors install last, into finished rooms, and they're fragile and expensive, a chip on a finished wall or a wrong finish choice is a remake, not a repair.

Scaftra scopes glass per room, captures the finish and hardware choices as Selections, and proves the finished condition, so the late, delicate install is on the record.

The problem

Glass and mirrors go in late, into already-finished rooms, and the install is unforgiving, the surrounding tile and paint are done, so damage during install is damage to finished work. The product choices (finish, hardware, edge) drive a remake if they're wrong.

Why it matters

Glass is the last expensive thing into the room and it's installed against finished surfaces. A scratched wall or a wrong-finish hinge is a high-cost remake and a homeowner dispute. Capturing the choices up front and proving the finished condition is how you avoid both.

Common mistakes

The recommended workflow

1. Scope glass per room

   Set which rooms get glass or mirror work so it's tracked per room.
2. Capture the choices

   Record finish, hardware, and edge as Selections the homeowner approves before order.
3. Schedule the late install

   Schedule the install into finished rooms, after the surrounding trades.
4. Prove the finished condition

   Capture before/after proof of the room and the install.
5. Close the room

   Walk the punch and close; progress rolls up to billing.

How Scaftra solves this

Scaftra runs glass and mirror as a room-scoped trade on the same execution spine as every finish trade. Only the rooms that get glass and mirror carry it; scheduling a crew onto the job is what puts them on the project; install progress is captured as photo proof and daily logs room by room; homeowner choices ride Selections that gate the room until approved; and completed work advances the room's install phase, which drives earned value and billing. Because glass installs last into finished space, Selections capture the finish and hardware choices and per-room proof evidences the finished condition.

• Choices on the record
  Finish, hardware, and edge captured as approved Selections.
• Finished-room proof
  Before/after proof of the room and the install.
• Late-stage scheduling
  Install scheduled into finished rooms after surrounding trades.

Key features

• Per-room trade scoping: Only the rooms that actually get glass and mirror carry it, scope is set per room, not per job.
• Scheduling that builds the crew: Putting a crew on the schedule is the act that assigns them to the project, no separate roster step.
• Install proof + daily logs: Photo proof and daily logs evidence the work room by room, the record that settles a dispute.
• Homeowner sign-off via Selections: Finish and product choices are captured as Selections that block the room until the homeowner approves.
• Progress drives billing: Completed install advances the room's phase, which the financial spine reads for earned value and billing.

• Photo proof and daily logs make the work defensible when a dispute lands.
• Homeowner choices are approved up front, so remakes don't trace to a verbal yes.
• Completed work rolls up to earned value and billing automatically.
