What Sawhorse is
A remodeler writes an estimate before anything else happens. That estimate already knows the rooms, the scope and the line items — and on most job sites it is then retyped into a second system, and a third. Sawhorse starts from the estimate instead: it becomes the project, the customer's selections, the change orders, and the record of what the work actually took.
It is built for crews of one to twenty, in the trade rather than around it. The company it was built inside runs live remodels on it today.
What the QuickBooks connection does
You authorize Sawhorse against one QuickBooks Online company through Intuit's own sign-in. Sawhorse never sees or stores your QuickBooks password, and the authorization it receives is stored encrypted.
Customers, items, and the costs posted against a job — so the job-cost figure in Sawhorse is the one in your books, not a second copy that drifts.
Invoices, estimates and payments you choose to send across, created against the customer they belong to. Nothing is written without an explicit action.
Payroll, banking, and your chart of accounts structure. Sawhorse asks for accounting scope only, and nothing outside it.
Why it is worth connecting
Most job-management tools sync with accounting on an interval — nightly, hourly, or on a button. In between, the job cost you are looking at is a number from the last sync, and the gap is where remodels lose money quietly: an uncontrolled change order, a materials run nobody logged, an estimate line that was wrong from the start.
Sawhorse closes that gap in two directions. The cost figure updates while the job runs, and the two places jobs usually go wrong get their own instruments: change orders that have to be approved before they become work, and a drag ledger that shows where the estimate and the actual have separated, item by item, while there is still time to do something about it.
What it costs
$79, $249 or $499 a month, flat, with your whole crew included up to the number on each plan and no charge per seat. Published support response times, and two months free if you pay annually. No volume brackets and no call to find out your number. The full pricing page.
Where it is today
Sawhorse is pre-launch and onboarding early-access companies. If you are a residential remodeler running QuickBooks Online and you would rather be early than wait, that is the way in.
