Demolition

The GC needs a number today and the dumpster is already ordered.

Demo is the first trade in and the whole schedule waits on you. The GC wants a price this afternoon so framing can be booked. Writing the bid at a desk at 8 PM is how you lose the job to whoever answered by lunch.

Jobkore runs from the phone in your truck. Walk the space, price it on site, send it before you drive away.

Disposal is not overhead. It is a line item.

Dumpster pulls, tipping fees, and haul-off are a real share of a demo bid, and they move with the tonnage. Bury them in a lump labor number and every extra pull eats your margin quietly.

Build the estimate in sections — protection and containment, demo labor, dumpster and pulls, disposal, final clean — so when the client adds scope you can show exactly what the extra pull costs.

What is behind the wall is a change order.

Nobody knows there is knob-and-tube, a hidden beam, an abandoned cast iron stack, or suspect material until the wall is open. The second you find it, stop and write a change order against the original estimate — photo, scope, price, signature.

Suspect material especially: document it, price the abatement or the sub separately, and get written approval before anyone touches it. The paperwork protects the crew and the invoice.

Deposit before mobilization, balance at broom-clean.

You are fronting the dumpster and the crew before a dollar comes in. Bill a deposit against the accepted estimate to cover mobilization and the first pull, then invoice the balance when the site passes the walk-through. Every invoice comes off the same estimate, so the deposit is already credited and the math stays clean.

Hank AI™ turns the walk-through into a structured bid.

You walked the space, noted the square footage, the finishes coming out, the access, and photographed anything questionable. Hand those notes to Hank AI™ and the estimate comes back in sections — protection, demo, dumpsters, disposal, clean. Your pricing goes on top.

Hank never invents quantities, rates, or margins. It organizes what you observed.

Paid by card. No platform fee from us.

The invoice goes out with a payment link. The GC or homeowner pays by card or bank transfer. Stripe processes at their standard rate. Jobkore adds nothing on top.
