SAWHORSE EARLY ACCESS

Sawhorse in detail

The screens, the accounting connection, and what has shipped.

The homepage is the short version. This is the longer look: the working screens as short clips, how the accounting connection carries a whole estimate rather than a single line, and a dated record of what has landed. Shown with synthetic demo data. Sawhorse is pre-launch.

SEE IT WORK

Eight surfaces, one throughline

Short clips from the working tool — each a step from the estimate to the finished job, and the portals your customer and referral partners actually use. Tap any clip to open it full screen — these are real screens with real density, and the detail is the point. Shown with synthetic demo data.

The estimate, built line by line to the total
Every bid in one place — won bids become jobs
A hundred jobs on the board, none dropped
One job — contract to closeout, on one screen
Today's work, every crew, one screen
Every choice, every job — proposed to installed
The customer's portal — selections, change orders, documents
A portal for your referral partners, too

Your books

Your estimate is forty lines. Your accounting sees one.

This is the part nobody puts on a website, so here it is. Most remodelers already have an accounting integration and already assume it does more than it does.

What you pricedA whole-home estimate
Kitchen — corner cabinet, rotating shelf Kitchen — cabinet removal and disposal Kitchen — backsplash tile Bathroom — solid blocking, wall fixtures Bathroom — floor drain relocation …and thirty-five more, by room and trade
What crosses over todayOne line item
Whole Home — D. Okonkwo  ·  $117,500.00

XactRemodel's QuickBooks Online integration sends the estimate one way, as a single project total or as three component totals — material, labor, equipment. Verisk's own documentation notes that markup and taxes are not allocated to a component, so they are not included in that mode. Nothing comes back.

What Sawhorse carriesAll of it, and back again
Every line, by room and trade Change orders as they are approved Costs posted against the job Payments, as they land ↺  current while the job runs
Reads

Customers, items, and the costs posted against a job — so the job-cost figure you are looking at is the one in your books, not a second copy that drifts.

Writes

Invoices, estimates and payments you choose to send across, against the customer they belong to. Nothing is written without an explicit action.

Never touches

Payroll, banking, and the structure of your chart of accounts. Sawhorse asks for accounting scope only, and nothing outside it.

And because the cost side stays current, the thing at the end of the job is a number rather than a feeling:

Estimated$117,500
Actual$121,340
Variance+$3,8403.3% over
Where it wentTile labor, +$2,100 — two change orders approved after demo, neither priced against the original allowance

FIGURES FROM SYNTHETIC DEMO DATA — NOT A REAL COMPANY'S JOB

What shipped

The work, dated.

Anybody can say a pre-launch tool is real. This is the alternative: what actually landed, when. It is updated as things ship, and nothing is listed before it works.

  1. 22 Aug 2026
    Every price published, and the plans simplified. Flat pricing with the whole crew included, published support response times, and annual at two months free. No per-seat charge.
  2. 22 Aug 2026
    Backups became three real locations. Nightly snapshots now land off-site as well as on, and a restore drill runs on a schedule — the first one passed with no hard failures.
  3. 21 Aug 2026
    The customer selections portal was unreadable in dark mode. Found, measured, fixed. Every portal now passes contrast checks in both light and dark on a phone.
  4. 21 Aug 2026
    A dead end in the picks portal. A customer with rooms and items could be told there was no proposal yet. The gate was wrong for two project stages; it is right now, and the page hides the link rather than leading somewhere empty.
  5. 20 Aug 2026
    Contracts stopped hard-coding one company. Generated agreements now carry the contractor's own identity and terms rather than the name of the shop this was built in.
  6. 17 Aug 2026
    Estimate intake for Xactremodel went live. Rooms derived from the group column, line items carried through, nothing retyped.

Fixes are listed alongside features on purpose. A changelog with no bugs in it is a marketing page.
